This is going to get worse before it gets better.

O Gaucho

Interesting about Sluka. He is a senior. This is his last shot to get a NIL

Sparkling Delirium

If his goal is to cash in on NIL, he's red-flagged himself as a malcontent

2 Tickets to Eagles @ The Sphere...October 11...$425 each. It's what I paid for the seats. Can't go anymore. Anyone?

They have struggled with any games outside the weak PAC for years. Went like 5+

They aren't losses. They are second place finishes. And 2 were Rose Bowls…

That might have been what killed him.

I don’t know how on earth I hadn’t heard he died until now. RIP. I liked him

He seemed like a guy who would fake his own death to prank friends at a funeral.

I imagine they weren't high on us last year either and that turned out okay.

So LAD Rojas was supposed to bunt but swung away

100% of the time that situation calls for a bunt. You should be surprised if you

Actually Mgr Dave Roberts seldom calls for a bunt, but he did in this situation

Hinta

Key phrase here is Dave Roberts. Man on 1B & 2B no outs you move the runners

BYUinTX

Didnt the post say Roberts called for a bunt here?

But really, the bank can make all the difference with an SBA loan.

Probably right, poor for Cb! As far as SBA, not even in the 15 mill stratosphere

BYUfan92

8:04am

apply for a 7a loan from a bank that specializes in small business lending.

BYUinTX

7:59am

In your opinion is a 7A much better than a fixed conventional? Both were at 6%

So this Sluka deal is just more evidence that "NIL" does not really stand for

Huge Manatee

7:53am

They need to keep the illusion that these players are still student athletes and not semi-pro football players.

Adrielle

7:56am

Why?

ochobeeguy

For almost all these players their actual NIL value is basically zero.

JuicyJam

Bingo - theres probably fewer than 100 players worth more than $25k/year

ABCoug

Yep, the overwhelming majority of college athletes are not worth the scholarships and other perks they were getting paid

Zach Morris

Yeah for sure, always should have been some appreciation on the front end

Patience. They'll get to it. As soon as the financial system & network favoring the SEC-B1G is firmly in place.

It seems his side and the Universities side are conflicting at this point. I'm not sure who to believe

So here's what I don't understand: the university is not allowed to have anything to do with NIL, correct? So if the

No touching

The university and teammates should be furious at the non-performing boosters.

Or maybe we should wait to see what the real story is

He did an awesome job

Skeptical Optimist

Was he also telling the staff to run the replay?

kiyoshige

7:38am

That's probably it - because you can tell he's watching the replay as he's describing the play

And then Wrubell is just shaking his head in disbelief as Hans describes the play

Is he extorting or did UNLV not

That’s bad if true. His statement makes it
