For God’s sake. This can hardly get any worse for me. Well he will find himself in one of the absolute worst programs and athletic departments in the country. If he gets to play, Virginia Tech will probably send him to his grave at the end of the season.

Mods should also change the Bowl poster at the Top of Football page....the one with the PLAYERS no longer willing to play for us.

I hear you.  That said, don’t expect they can realistically change the posters every day to reflect all the players coming and whoreing.

Not sure if it is much better, but it sounds like it is Virginia, not VT.

Nah what I’m saying is if he is playing for Virginia, then when they face VT who we (I went to Virginia after NT) play each year and never beat, then he will be sacked into the ground by VT. Try to imagine being a fan of not just NT but also Virginia which must get the least bang for the buck of any football team. It’s sad they are even looking at this dude.

He may just sit on the bench and count his money, like Rogers at Cal.

If you aren’t earning enough to buy a house in metro area you want to live with cash left after taxes, this is a dubious move.  Being a QB star at an above 0.500 G5 team putting up big numbers in a big market probably has more positive impact on your NFL prospects than just being a decent starter on middle/lower tier P4 team.  I saw Spencer Rattler play well for the Saints this past Sunday in fill-in duty.  I wonder how his career is different if had come in a program akin to ours with a coach who likes to throw the ball a bunch?  And Virgina is foolish if they are devoting all good chunk of their overall NIL budget to Morris.  I don’t think Morris can affect winning at that program to the point they get more TV exposure than they currently do.  If he was rated as a game changer at middle tier P4 level by the consensus opinion scouts at this point in his career he would be transferring as the presumptive starter at profile program than UVA and getting even more money.

He's getting north of $500k and getting to finish out his college career at a P4 program that has elite academics.  Lil' Morris' dad fleeced Arkansas for about $20m so I don't think he's gonna have to worry about begging for nickels under Harry Hines.

Yup. He totally went there for the degree.

He grabbed a quick check and will likely be riding the bench all season on his way to a... technical writing degree?

Everyone’s family financial situation is different.  And I am sure “elite academics” factored in.  Mentioning academics is comedic coming from a supporter of the original poster child child of Pay for Play program Pony Express.  🤪🤣🤣🤪.   Every QB that has more than a cup of coffee in the NFL does well financially.  The question is do you want to make money AND have the best chance to get drafted into the NFL?Putting up good numbers starting for any FBS team that is competitive helps those NFL dreams more than sitting on the bench or floundering for middle tier reputation P4 team.  He probably could have went to any “elite academic” college that serious about FBS level football as freshman or first time transfer.     Some of us jump all over Rodgers transferring to Cal.  Cal has the more famous reputation as an elite academic institution than Virgina to the masses. (UVA ranked 24 and Cal ranked 17 in US News).  Valued transfers go to Cal and UVA  for the academics like transfers go to Boise State for the weather.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
