RIPPA Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 The word on the street is that the big NIL money is coming from Barstool - which also employees Deion (and may also be connected to a gambling site) Either way - this is gonna get the NCAA's attention 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely that this year is the only true Wild West NIL year. And that includes my school and their million dollar "collectives". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Most of the people justifying the Jackson State situation is under the "well college football is already corrupt so why not go all the way with it" idea. Which is true and it is great this coaches are getting what is coming to them but deciding that total anarchy is the best solution is not the extreme I would recommend. All I can say for the recruit is that you better keep both eyes on Barstool because if even one thing goes wrong then they and his mouth breather followers will make this kid life a living hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 It took me a couple hours yesterday to realize I was confusing Jackson State with Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State just hired ex-WVU/Michigan/Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez. I was wondering how he managed to steal a top-rated recruit away from anyone.

EVA Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I don’t think I commented on it at the time, so since you bring it up: In 2007, Rich Rodriguez turned down the Alabama job because, reportedly, his wife didn’t want to live in Tuscaloosa. Welp. Enjoy Calhoun County, Rita. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am forever mad at RichRod for not taking the Tuscaloosa job. Just like I'm forever angry at the Dolphins Medical Staff for not approving Brees.

I figure his to do list is something like this: - tell Bijan Robinson ‘you do you’ - eat a snack - nap From what I understand from the boards I read, the RB coach is supposed to be your ace/volume recruiter (and in the SEC, one of your top bagmen), since RBs supposedly require very little coaching as you say. That was an internet fan complaint about Drayton, he did great with Bijan but wasn't a lead recruiter outside of his position. That said, he's helped develop Roschon Johnson into a viable P5 running back who will likely make an NFL roster as a UDFA 3rd down back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
