Again, the market appears to be reining it in itself. Not sure you can put limits
or rules on how much an individual can earn. The system is working.
And I say that coming from the old school days of when free room and board, free
tuition, free academic tutoring, coaching, training facility use, and medical for
injury was all covered. I thought at the time that was a fair and a good deal. I wasn’t initially for the new system, but it appears to be working. Get all you are worth, but be careful of going too far.
This isn’t the first time this has happened since the NIL era began. It’s the first time we’ve seen a high leverage starter at the premier position get told “no” by the program.
The issue at hand is the courts cut the NCAA’s balls off, and it created a Wild West situation. The pendulum has swung fully in favor of the players. With the rumors swirling around players were threatening holding out for the CFB playoffs, that is where things will start being reeled in. That can’t happen. Doesn’t happen in the pros.
Revenue sharing is on the way so caps are going to be put on all this eventually. We should start seeing structure move its way in by next year.
That is essentially a flat salary pay for all players in the revenue sharing proposal.
It does nothing about NIL endorsement dollars. I fail to see how that can be capped or limited or eliminated in any way. Unless you want some type of federal
law that says NIL income dollars above some amount ( $1 million ?) are subject to a 95% tax of the amount. Is that what you want ?
There needs to be a stipulation for portal hopping and you must stay and play until the season is over, bowl game included.

Apparently he is asking for “much more” than the $4 million he wanted from Tennessee as a transfer. He has his dad and a family friend representing him what could possibly go wrong. Also he can’t transfer and play immediately within the SEC so that eliminates a lot of teams that could afford him.
I think the disconnect is Tennessee signed him as the 2nd best quarterback in his class to a supposed $8m deal, a deal worthy of his 5 stars with them expecting him to be a star, he was the second string his first year and cashed his checks, started his second year and was the 9th best quarterback in the SEC, Tennessee is thinking they are getting the quarterback they are paying for, so he tries to demand a raise during the season.?.
I think one of the issue college football is currently having is overpaying transfers.
You’re one fake injury away from getting out of that stipulation though. We’re at the point where you can’t make the players do anything they don’t enthusiastically see as a 100% benefit to themselves.
Looks like they are saying he has to drop his price to $1 million per year now.
That’s still a rather big pay check. Kid really pushed it too far and got bad advice.
Hope others learn from this.
Sit out go to XFL and ball out for one season. Even if he doesnt get more than a million. No more school or other activities that take time out of his precious schedule and still get drafted high.
