I just got off the phone with Jermaine Antoine, the Louisiana
cornerback who has been committed to UNT for a few weeks. I also talked
with his head coach Trent Delahoussaye this afternoon.


A few outlets are reporting that Antoine has flipped to TCU. Delahoussaye also told me that Antoine is flipping to TCU.


Antoine told me that he wants to talk things through with his parents tonight.


After a while one tends to get a feeling about the way things are
going to go with players. I would be surprised if the Louisiana Class 2A
all-state selection does not end up at TCU at this point.


Delahoussaye pretty much told me that is the way this is going to go,
especially in the wake of Justin Gaines leaving UNT’s staff.

really hoping he can realize the impact he could make here right away.....or the impact his butt will have on the bench he sits on for a few years in ft worth.

I don't believe he would sit in Ft. Worth. If he would be such a big impact here, why would he sit in Ft Worth?

Im going with the fact that he would probably start or play ALOT his freshman year in denton, in ft worth he will probably have to sit behind other's for a while. Hell maybe he wont but just trying to make a general observation as i see it.

It's possible he would start here and redishirt @ TCU... or vice-versa!

And I don't mean to single you out, but that seems to be a pervading thought around here... like we're so terrible, that a starter-caliber guy for UNT would ride pine at TCU. I'd be willing to bet that TCU would love to have Brelan Chancellor or other guys we have here starting for them.

He isn't going to UNT. End of the story. Cut the cord. The coaches need to stop wasting time on him. Give the scholarship to someone else ASAP.

Someone else who deserves it. Tell this kid to take a hike. Exactly. This kid has a bright future as a benchwarmer.

I'm sorry, kids that play mind games with coaches and commit then de-commit to schools can pound sand. Period. I don't want anyone like this on the team.

Yeah, because if we convince a kid to change his commitment from another school, we don't want him.

It's about honoring your word and your commitment. If someone commits to a school, it shows poorly on him to decommit and sign elsewhere. Have some, like, self respect.

Yeah, I hate it when people change their mind when making hugely important life decisions too.

"Changing your mind" is different than committing to a verbal contract and then just turning your back on said verbal contract.

It is not a verbal contract. These verbals are non-binding, therefore not a contract.

So, let's set up a comparison here for you.

You pay $100 for your kid to play football. You buy him pads, helmet, gear and spend hours teaching him how to play. He makes it through three practices and decides he's no longer interested. Since he's used the equipment, you can't return it and you don't get your $100 back. He decides he wants to play baseball now and puts up a fit until you let him play.

Do you condone that kind of behavior?

No.

But this scenario is more akin to Devante Davis' situation, and not Anoine's.

That is a completely different situation. I don't see how this is remotely the same. I would probably allow him to back out. He is a just a kid and kids don't know what they are getting into. I would make him earn the $100 back, assuming that he asked to be in football to begin with. Either way, this is a terrible comparison.

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

      Yeah, while 10k students may be okay with this, the other 36k may not be happy about it at all, especially when all 46k are complaining about how expensive college has become. Having 15-20k students picketing to drop football doesn't help recruiting or TP enticements.

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

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

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
