Cobra Commander Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Maybe the NCAA is gonna claim that some NILs are basically paying players for the advertising equivalent of "no-show jobs" as opposed to them having to do some minimum in return for NIL money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The real reason Lambert is so pissed is that having to deal with this is eating into his time of watching old Championship Wrestling from Florida tapes. And you know that Lambert 100% has a working VCR and that's how he watches. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Considering how little Florida is on the Peacock compared to other territories, you pretty much need a VCR and tapes to watch most of it. But anyways, I suspect the strategy by the NCAA is that they can't get rid of NILs but they wanna trim and restrict NILs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically anytime stuff like this comes up, I just think of this scene from The Program where Alvin Mack justifies taking an envelop of cash from a booster https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/97313c67-d9f2-4303-8326-1b90f666f6c0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 So, I'm not complaining as a Michigan fan, but, with Virginia going in a different direction, it looks like Josh Gattis isn't likely to get a head coaching job this year, which is amazing to me. Just won the assistant of the year award, has deep experience in both the south east, including a year on Saban's staff, and the Midwest, both with multiple schools... He's young, successful, well traveled... Is it just because he's not white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because his offenses looked terrible before this year and his fellow Alabama OC badmouthed the job he did there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert C Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Zach Calzada is in the portal now. So if you're looking for a QB that can beat Alabama, but isn't actually very good, then there you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Rattler and Slovis could both be really interesting pick ups at the right school. Both of them are guys who followed up really good seasons with really disappointing ones, but if you're a program with a hole at QB and talent on offense, they might fit as a plug and play type.

Chaos Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm kind of hoping Auburn nets Slovis. Not sure Bo's replacement is on this roster. They do have a good true freshman coming in recruiting, but this staff is probably not going to rush that. The list of QBs in the transfer portal as of yesterday was kind of insane. I think it was roughly 1/5th of the entire power 5. You know the competition committee is going to regulate it some way for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Yikes. If Spencer Rattler is the bar for this portal class, that does not bode well for the rest of these guys ending up in better situations than they were in. Hell of a recruiting job by Beamer, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm kinda surprised A&M doesn't seem to be trying to grab somebody. The current QB situation consists of: - a redshirt freshman who has thrown a total of 24 passes, looked fairly unimpressive in his only full game (against an awful defense), and then got his leg mangled - a freshman walkon who has thrown seven passes - a freshman who got moved to tight end - an incoming recruit who should enroll in January. Highly rated, but that doesn't always mean much, especially at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewers comes in with at least one existing deal from a Texas-based company worth something like $1 mil/year. I'd expect him to be getting $3-4 million a year. Just ridiculous numbers these days.

RIPPA Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Yeah - the reason I made my comment is because Ewers deal when he got to OSU he got a $1.4 million deal from GT Sports Marketing so I am assuming that is the Texas company you are talking about. He had other deals too. And then he never played a snap for the Buckeyes It really does come off as he did it just to skirt the state of Texas law that said High School students can't have NILs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he saw Stroud and the number of QBs there, versus the wide open UT job (and working with Sark instead of Herman) and decided to take that route.

If he does, get ready for endless reminders of the last time he was on the field with the Ags, I'd guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
