I've become so damn jaded with college sports right now that I see announcements like these and think "well...until someone comes along with a better NIL offer...."
Or just presume we'll have him for a season and if he does well THEN someone will come along with a better NIL offer. Or if he proves to be a dynamic young player, some better team will just snipe him because they can.
This combination of free transfers and NILs has turned the college game into a more mercenary style sport than ANY of the professional sports. I really wish they'd have found some way to come in for a soft landing here instead of just say "eh, fuck it - wild wild west time!!!" [Reply]

Wasn't that kind of inevitable especially in football with the "covid" year. Guys getting extra eligibility is going to cause movement [Reply]

I'm used to one of my favorite teams being a farm team for the rest of the sport. Royals have been there for most of my adult life. [Reply]
