It's one thing for a salesman to get his company and not expect much

repercussions. But this? When another team has to choose between him and someone else, the quitter tag will be very important.

There’s nothing I respect more than a player quitting on his team mid season

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

The only team that will accept him is some team

Archaea

It depends on how good he is; BYU has taken players who quit mid-season and lost players who quit midseason

CFB is a team sport run by people who are not good at being on a team. Like life

Daaaang So-crates! That was DEEP!

Yes, but also shame on the school for making promises and then voiding on them

Mostlyaccurate

Maybe. We don’t know the other side of the story

Iman23

He shouldn’t have demanded more mid season.

Archaea

6:47am

We don't know if that's true. The local reports have a strong incentive to lie

Mostlyaccurate

6:54am

Inside reports are confirming that.

Archaea

6:55am

Its what makes the most sense. His value increased mid year and now he is trying

johnnybyu

7:00am

If we're assuming it's entirely NIL, how/ when do you propose he "demand" more?

wickedgame71

6:57am

He already got his degree.

Archaea

6:58am

Is that what happened or is he getting a better offer to go somewhere else

johnnybyu

6:53am

Why would his offer be contingent on quitting midseason?

Mostlyaccurate

6:54am

Because 4 games this can be a redshirt year and he gets the year back to make

johnnybyu

6:55am

Also, we should. It is irresponsible/bad stewardship to not make as much money

Get it in writing.

Coaches have been doing this for years. Just less obviously.

I think we are wanting to have our cake and eat it too.

Courtimedes

7:01am

Oh, 100% fans are hypocrites about this.

shoganai

7:11am

This is true, will happen with players more however since they only have 4 years

johnnybyu

7:02am

This isn't a case of quiet quitting. It's just plain quitting.

bythenumbers

7:10am

There's a very easy solution to this, but the fans keep loudly complaining that

shoganai

7:20am

How? Head hunters lure employees away all the time to other employers

DiamondMo

7:23am

Sure, but you would have contractual protections.

Courtimedes

7:25am

Contracts and collective bargaining.

shoganai

7:30am

Problem is values are still wild west. A star contributor vs non contributor

johnnybyu

7:39am

Yeah exactly. I think that's where it has to go.

bythenumbers

7:25am

Lawsuit allowing/ forcing schools to pay NIL directly will likely change that

NYC and Japan

7:39am

Mmk. But those coaches had actually done something worthy of a promotion. Look

Iman23

7:19am

If he isn't good then it shouldn't be a big deal that anybody cares about.

shoganai

7:21am

To clarify- are you saying that if this was a star player

Courtimedes

7:21am

What did I miss? Can I get a short summary?

Knight-who-says-ni

7:42am

Had the same question. I think this:

RoboKayne

7:46am

Yes, that's it

volleyjiver

7:47am

Thx. CBers can do a lousy job of referencing the subject they're posting about.

Forzaitalia

7:49am

This is what NIL was destined to lead to in a lot of cases. I think it will eventually unbalance and ruin CFB

Knight-who-says-ni

7:58am

Look a few posts down about UNLVs QB quitting after 4 games so

volleyjiver

7:46am

The hate the kid is getting is not fair. NIL needs restructuring.

CopaCoug

9:26am

He's only gotten $3,000?!

Mostlyaccurate

9:36am

More and more is coming out

CopaCoug

9:56am

And here is a quote from his dad

CopaCoug

9:59am

Sports agencies are rubbing their hands together

bythenumbers

10:08am

I think this is definitely a case where people should wait for the facts
