A contract?

... and how much are these contracts worth, total?  (105 roster spots... How do we pay for this?  Keep in mind, you still have to offer scholarship & room-&-board to remain comparable in offerings)
... and for how long are each signed for?  1 year? (nothing different)  4 years? (laughable, unless the guaranteed money is beans... which, again, be prepared for intramural-level talent).

I know it sucks we keep losing talented players, but if we voluntarily break from the same organization that the UT's/A&M's of the world are also a part of, it will be an unmitigated disaster.

FYI,Morris just visited Oklahoma State.

This is where the G5s and FCS need to go. Contracts for NIL, just like you have contracts for coaches. If you leave for the portal, you owe the $$$ back for the contract not fulfilled, including cost of attendance, stipends, and the remaining NIL. 

The NIL is something this old guy doesn't like, but I get it and accept it. The portal is my line in the sand. As long as it stays as it is, my interest and support of the sport has dwindled considerably. I'm not alone--and my generation of men are the ones who have disposable income and resources that are now being used in different ways. College football had been trending in the wrong direction for me for awhile, particularly in value for money spent and time spent at a game. But at least I knew that the kids made a commitment to stay at UNT for the majority of their college career. Following Mason Fine was incredible as a fan. He is non-duplicable in today's world, as he would get bought by anyone else up the food chain after one season of doing anything of note on the field. 

I recognize that the reality is that UNT and the rest of the G5s will just accept their place under the table of the P4s and fight for scraps and crumbs. And its why my decision to walk away from attending games in 2023 has been the best financial decision I've made in years.

I can testify to the fact that Chandler is being offered north of 1 million dollars to play at Oklahoma State via their collective.

I'm sorry but with his injury history, and currently not being able to throw it more than 10 or 15 yards, I cannot see this being at all justifiable. 

 

But it's their money not mine!

Damn.  That is life changing money.  I cannot blame him for taking that.

If your screen name is true, can you start an only fans and use the earnings to fund some success?

Thanks,

Sad Fan

I have no words for how poor an investment this is for OK state. Of course anyone would take that money. 

[Jonnyeagle]

That is a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who has had his injuries.  Okie State must have lots of T. Boone Pickens cash lying around.

Fascinated by what Coach Dad Morris thinks.

How do you feel about a system that, by all coaches' accounts, has transformed the game for the worse....but just afforded your own son/family a mil?  How do you speak to the media about it now?

If they only get 6 wins with him like we did not sure Gundy can keep his job.

They need all the help they can get but damn, that 1 million could have went to Mensah from Tulane or Castellanos from Boston College or Maalik Murphy from Duke.
