Who is happy besides the backup that now gets to start? I mean ASU players were “happy” when Jayden Daniels left lol. They’re just mad and coping probably
They might be coping yeah but you’d think at least one of them would say something if they weren’t getting paid
They probably weren’t aware of his agreement. They probably thought he was making similar to them (low 4 figures a month). Then news comes out he wants $100K and they think that’s greedy relative to what they are making, even though that was his agreement.
that could be true too. As slimy as it is from the school, if he’s telling the truth, whoever is handling that for him is a real dumbass though
I want to know more about this dumbass/slime ball agent and when exactly he got involved. That to me seems like the info that could shed some light onto which party is to be blamed.
ASU was in full on culture rot mode when Daniels left, but he still did only throw for 10 TD’s in 13 starts his junior year in Tempe.
He seems to be associated with a legit agency (they rep Mahomes). The whole NIL agent thing is so new. I am sure the superstars have real agents, but the fringe guys get handed off the a low level guy at a real agency build the relationship for the future or just end up with some guy off the street who can talk a big game and impress players and parents unsophisticated in matters like this.
That 2021 roster had current nfl skill position players in rachaad white, ricky pearsall, and johnny wilson. Jaylin conyers was the te - think he's going to get drafted this year
I was all ready to quiet quit cfb bc of the limitless transfers, but the content it has generated with NIL is incredible and relentless, and I can’t get enough of it.
It's only a matter of time until someone gives someone like carson beck a million bucks to pull a hammy in warmups.
Thought this was a good summary of the whole fiasco https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/who-to-actually-blame-for-the-unlv-matt-sluka-nil-mess
Yea, the more I read about this I actually think the agent convinced the kid to do this. Too many wtf mistakes had to happen for this to unravel in the way that both sides are trying to say that it did. The simplest solution is that the kid knew he was being underpaid, and the agent convinced him to go for big money or redshirt and gamble on a bag for next year. It’s his word versus the word of some obscure assistant coach. If he’s good, someone will pay him more than he was going to get this year. I don’t blame the kid. But I think he’s lying to save face for the portal market. Again, don’t blame him. A $3000 move in stipend for what he was bringing to the table is a joke. System needs an overhaul but god damn am I going to watch it burn before it does. I’m sure whatever shit phoenix that rises from the ashes will eventually exploit the players anyway, so I hope they all get as much bags as possible using whatever tactics they can until that day comes. Fuck a sport where the Will Muschamps and Gus Malzhans get paid 10’s of millions to not coach, while players get Pennie’s flicked at them by old fat white scrooge mcfucks
The OC/QB is an obscure assistant coach? You make it sound like he’s was just a coffee boy without a desk or an office in the building.
