As per Mean Green Report

"As first reported by TMGR, receiver Darius Carey returned to practice with a broken hand suffered while helping his mother move in New Orleans. Coach Todd Dodge said Carey "won’t catch any balls in camp.”

“We hope to get him back for the first game [at Clemson], but definitely I want to get him back for Rice and Army,” Dodge said.

Carey, who has four stitches on his right hand reattaching the webbing between his pinky and fourth fingers, said the injury resulted from a “bad fall.” Riley Dodge and Alex Lott back up the inside receiver positions, so at least one of them figures to start at Clemson.

Carey, who said he’ll be ready Sept. 4, said rather than admonish him for not being careful, the coaching staff has been “helping me through it, keeping me focused and keeping everything positive. I’m kind of happy about that.”

Carey otherwise appears in the best shape of his career, but standing around the rest of August will test his mental toughness, he said."

If he was a horse, he would have been put down.

Probably in the top 10 funniest things I've ever read on the forum. And I mean that seriously. Most of the time, LOL is just an expression. I had someone in the next office over check to see if I was choking. Hilarious. +1

This is a tough one. Those hand injuries can be difficult to heal especially for a wide receiver.

This is tough, but I have a feeling we're lucky it wasn't worse (like a crushed hand). At least he will be able to do conditioning and some route running. Would be great to have him back for the first game.

Man, bad luck, but stuff happens. He'll be fine and he'll be back in plenty of time to help the Mean Green. I think Darius will play a key role for the offense, so it's best that he take care of the hand and get back as soon as possible, but not before completely healed. These things do have a way of hampering a receiver, but he is young and healthy and should heal pretty fast. I don't see this as any big or lasting problem at this time. These are young men who lead active lives and some have more "family obligations" than others. I see nothing wrong with helping his mother move and I am sure he needed to be there to help out. There is no way to "be careful" when helping someone move. He certainly didn't get hurt on purpose, and I am happy to hear him say that the coaching staff has been supportive.

Get well soon, Darius...the Mean Green Nation is counting on you.

GO MEAN GREEN!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
