I thought Gunnell’s dad decided that Grant needed to transfer again😬

Is it the same idiot that voted for UTSA?

Just wait until he actually plays a game😁

This is a unique group in that they are all very deserving. Congrats to each of them. Side note: Brelan is maybe my all time favorite. He was fun to watch.

I’m the star QB at UNT. Rudy’s BBQ pays me the going rate to make an appearance and sign autographs. Pretty simple and I believe the original intent of NIL. Since they are amateurs, they shouldn’t think anything of the coach making good money in his chosen profession. Maybe it should inspire them to get their degree so that they can follow in the coaches footsteps. If I’m a high school kid am I mad because I make $12/hr working at a fast food joint while my coach is making over $100,000/year? Extreme example, but as I’ve said before, where does it end?

NIL should be what a kid can get outside of school once they are at a school. It should not be alumni creating “collectives” to pay players and entice them to go to a particular school. Since he was mentioned earlier, let’s talk about Johnny Football. No doubt he should have been able to get paid for signing autographs. Should have also gotten a percentage of every #2 jersey sold. To me, that’s what NIL should be, but it is a far cry from it. And please stop mentioning how much coaches make*. If you’re an FBS head coach, you have a college degree and you’ve paid your dues to get one of only 130 jobs in America. Quit trying to equate that to a 20 year old who is a good college football player, who, I might add, was happy to get a scholarship offer from their school only a couple of years prior. Speaking of that scholarship, a college degree can end generational poverty. I’d say that’s a great incentive colleges are providing to these athletes. *I agree that most head coaches are overpaid

I want spectacular, but after the past two seasons that’s a big ask. A game manager would be a significant upgrade for us.

Not a great cap, but I probably would have gone home with it as I assume it was pretty cheap.

I think of a game manager as a QB who just takes what the defense gives them and doesn’t have to be spectacular. Just make the basic throws and keep the chains moving.

That’s when I stopped reading.

NT80 with a few great zingers regarding SL lately🤣👍

We always wanted “our Gary Patterson.” I guess we have him…minus the wins and university-changing upward trajectory.

I should clarify that I think coaches should be loyal to the contract they sign.

I haven’t seen it in stores, though I admittedly haven’t looked. I subscribe and they mail it to me. Received mine about a month ago.

Didn’t all of those coaches get a college degree to earn that right? There is a difference between a professional and an amateur.

NIL, Open transfers…Welcome to free agency.

You don’t care. I do. Not much left to say. In the words of the great philosopher Cosmo Kramer, “Without rules there’s chaos.”

I’m not trying to make the argument that it’s the same difference, I’m just saying, “Where does it stop?”. But, a transfer window isn’t the same thing. If a high school kid transfers, he has to sit out a year. The new NCAA proposal allows multiple transfers with immediate eligibility. Not the same.

But they can’t just transfer and play at the new school immediately in most cases. There are transfer rules in place for a reason.

May as well drop it down to high school, maybe even middle school. Why should a kid be stuck at a high school for 4 years if there is another high school that can help them get where they want to go?

This was my point. I didn’t say they would find a gun, I said they’d find a way to carry out their twisted plan. Again, I don’t disagree with some stricter gun laws. Stricter laws could prevent impulse murders, but I think it’s unlikely to prevent premeditated mass killings unfortunately. FWIW, I don’t own a gun, but my concern with strict gun laws is that criminals will always have guns. You’re not taking the guns away from the people who are committing crimes with them.

I don’t disagree that maybe guns need to be a little bit more difficult to buy, but if someone is hell bent on killing people, they will find away. While I don’t know the profile of mass killers, it seems as though none of these types of massacres are a spur of the moment decision.
