Hiding behind the NCAA, the law, and semantics about offers. I've gone from thinking this was an ill advised play for more money with too much agent involvement to believing there probably was some sort of wink and a nod offer made that unfortunately can't be made legally binding or even proven. No matter who's telling the truth, it still boils down to the NCAA shitting the bed by fighting it as long as they did when they could have been working toward a system with guardrails that was fair to all involved and somewhat enforceable on both sides.
the real kicker is, they aren't eligible for the G6 auto bid so the only way they can get into the CFP is as an at large. in other words, they are fucked
Not if you commit to mizzurah. As soon as a HSer commits they get a non-binding FA and start collecting checks. https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...mizzou-advantage-amid-evolving-landscape/amp/
UNLV I just got word from North Carolina and they're trying to figure out how someone could get caught cheating when nobody even believed that you were cheating.
this kid is a former 4 star who thinks he is a lot better than he is. Has straight-line speed but changes direction at roughly the same speed as an aircraft carrier source: he's from my hometown and started his career at State
Looks like a MAC running back But yea... I don't think we should be doubting that there are liars involved with NIL, especially in Vegas
I think the funniest part of all this is UNLV tried to do their own media PR blitz and not only did nobody believe them, but they got outmaneuvered by a college student and his dad
Barry Odom went to Missouri, and if anything recent news has shown, Missouri tends to bring out the worst people humanity has to offer, so I'm sure there's a reason the rats are fleeing the ship.
Once again, using that horrendous execution to take a snipe at a CFB rival is making a mockery of the vile injustice that occurred and is a terrible look.
88k NIL discrepancy would definitely be shady. But not getting carries because you’re getting beat out is just football.
Imagine if college football wasn’t still acting under the facade of amateurism, and the players could just sign a clear contract for a salary. The smoke and mirrors of what NIL has become make this all unnecessarily confusing and opens up chance of poor communication (at best) or outright fraud (at worst).
Even if he just wanted another 100k for outperforming the old agreement of a roll of quarters and a E! Entertainment shirt, I'm fine with it. Just call it a hold out.
My next question would be: is he still taking advise from this same agent? Because, buddy, I can't see there being high portal demand for a sub 50% QB with 3 games at the FBS level, none in P4, and only 1 year of eligibility left
The question isn’t whether you see the demand for a sub 50% QB with 3 games at the FBS level, none in P4, and only 1 year of eligibility left, it’s whether Norvell does.
Something seems pretty weird about this kid’s story imo. Current and even former players seem to pretty happy he’s gone like Ole Miss players were with Judkins. Who knows but that does seem to make me think they are getting paid and he asked for more $
