Reason for departure should be a consideration.

If indeed he left after UNLV fulfilled their commitments simply because he can make more money elsewhere demonstrates a huge character flaw. But I suspect we also don't have all of the details.

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

Sep 25, 6:34am

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

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

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

Sep 25, 6:47am

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

Mostlyaccurate

Sep 25, 6:54am

Inside reports are confirming that.

Archaea

Sep 25, 6:55am

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

johnnybyu

Sep 25, 7:00am

True. And people can be easily fooled into thinking the real victim in these

Polecat

Sep 25, 11:39am

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

wickedgame71

Sep 25, 6:57am

He already got his degree.

Archaea

Sep 25, 6:58am

But what if he was really promised more money that he hasn’t received? At what

Polecat

Sep 25, 11:52am

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

johnnybyu

Sep 25, 6:53am

Why would his offer be contingent on quitting midseason?

Mostlyaccurate

Sep 25, 6:54am

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

johnnybyu

Sep 25, 6:55am

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

RoboKayne

Shame on the school? What's the school's official position?

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

Sep 25, 7:01am

Oh, 100% fans are hypocrites about this.

shoganai

Sep 25, 7:11am

It’s so true. For a population who believes in a free market, many sure want

Polecat

Sep 25, 11:26am

I'm toying with the idea that maybe the whole market should be eliminated.

RoboKayne

Sep 25, 12:03pm

True. A situation like this is simply two entities fighting over dollars

Polecat

Sep 25, 12:18pm

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

johnnybyu

Sep 25, 7:02am

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

bythenumbers

Sep 25, 7:10am

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

shoganai

Sep 25, 7:20am

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

DiamondMo

Sep 25, 7:23am

Sure, but you would have contractual protections.

Courtimedes

Sep 25, 7:25am

Contracts and collective bargaining.

shoganai

Sep 25, 7:30am

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

johnnybyu

Sep 25, 7:39am

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

bythenumbers

Sep 25, 7:25am

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

NYC and Japan

Sep 25, 7:39am

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

Iman23

Sep 25, 7:19am

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

shoganai

Sep 25, 7:21am

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

Courtimedes

Sep 25, 7:21am

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

Knight-who-says-ni

Sep 25, 7:42am

Had the same question. I think this:

RoboKayne

Sep 25, 7:46am

Yes, that's it

volleyjiver

Sep 25, 7:47am

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

Forzaitalia

Sep 25, 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

Sep 25, 7:58am

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

volleyjiver

Sep 25, 7:46am

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

CopaCoug

Sep 25, 9:26am

He's only gotten $3,000?!

Mostlyaccurate

Sep 25, 9:36am

More and more is coming out

CopaCoug

Sep 25, 9:56am

And here is a quote from his dad

CopaCoug

Sports agencies are rubbing their hands together

bythenumbers

Sep 25, 10:08am

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

bythenumbers

Sep 25, 9:47am

Is the player getting paid or is the payer getting played? Time will reveal.

RoboKayne

Sep 25, 11:12am

A lot of times changes to a system result in rediscovering well-known ideas from

RoboKayne

Dallin Holker quitting his team after 3 games was really bad.
