SMU needs to get the booster playbook from the 80's, they would dominate with in 2 yrs.


The NCAA screwed this NIL thing up.

SMU would kill it today with the money they had back then! I’m not sure the NCAA thought this through very well or the courts one. I could see this thing getting crazy if 9.5 million is the going price for a number 7 qb recruit in the nation. I mean Arch has to be worth significantly more than that. What does the NFL think about it? One the kids may make so much money in college that they retire or two the kids will take a pay cut to play in the NFL. I just can’t wrap my head around 9.5 million for a soon to be senior in high school.

In the 30 for 30, I think Dickerson said the Aggie guy came up with a briefcase with $250K in it and Dickerson laughed and said that wasn’t even close.

I’ve missed something on the HS and college kids getting paid. Where is all this money coming from and who is it going to? Is this rumor or real or what? Legal?

Anybody got the cliff’s notes version?

What is "NIL deals"?

HAHAHA!!! You gotta be kiddin me! I had no idea. Johnny Football coulda been a billionaire if he'd woulda been able to capitalize on this in his day.

I have zero issue with NIL, if a kid can get paid now by all means get paid, the chance of him making it in the nfl are still close to zero so get some money. I have heard a few people say the kids aren't old enough and smart enough to handle money so they shouldn't be allowed to get it. That is stupid and in large part driven by jealous minds I think. I do think some restrictions need to be put on transfer portal, the window should be tightened up around national signing day maybe. In my opinion once a kid goes through spring ball workouts he should be locked in for the following season. Its gonna be interesting to see how many kids dont land where they thought they would on a depth chart in august and bail right before the season.
