Look at Maclin’s numbers this year. DT disappeared once he had a target on his back.

And the administration wonders why people/fans don’t care.

All these players think it won’t happen to them… until it does.

Not sure if I should applaud his confidence or hold off and get a laugh at this if he disappears.

Considering he failed on his first attempt. Hope he gets splinters in his ass while he counts the $$$$ he gets riding the bench

Dude dropped like half the passes that went his way. What a tool.

Sometimes, these players (and those around them) fail to realize that the system has more to do with their success than they would like others to believe.

His production almost fell off the cliff in the last two or three games. You can try to blame the QB for that, but DT dropped some easy throws and went down when he was barely touched.

When it becomes all about money, love of the game takes a back seat

I was thinking the same thing and wondering if there's a correlation between the time he started getting phone calls from school saying hey, as long as you're healthy, we have a spot for you and then he started worrying about getting hurt rather than playing ball.

His poor production and drop in playing time these last few weeks has been so astounding that I wondered if he might have been involved in some type of college sports gambling scandal like the Temple basketball player from last season. It was like he was trying to play bad.

How much is it worth to be in a system that utilizes and features your talents? What is the value of that experience and those memories? 

I would be really hesitant to walk away from that for a few thousand dollars. Unless you are getting paid WAY more than you could ever make outside of football. 

One thing these guys don’t realize is if the P4 can afford to pay YOU then they also have the money to pay 4 or 5 guys just like you. And the P4 has no loyalty to you. Maybe you will play. Maybe you won’t.

I feel bad for everyone who tried to support Chandler and this dude at that autograph appearance.  You wasted your time and money.

I don't and PT Barnum agrees with me.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about Chandler Morris' play

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
