NIL

[Lurk]

I just don't see how it is sustainable. It's new. It's cool if you like to swing your dick around, but at some point you'd think common sense comes into play.

I'm probably the biggest NIL advocator (for us) on this board just because it's the first time we have a solution to overcome disadvantages we inherently have. But, it's ludicrous to ask your fans to buy your players. That's essentially what is taking place.

Just fix the portal and nil will fix itself. Everybody is trying to buy prominence right now, but it's definitely not sustainable.

Which brings up a different question, do you pool up your nil money and save up for championship run every 4 years or so? Past championship contenders had upperclass linemen that had been in the program for a while. That's no longer feasible unless they change the transfer rule. Buying linemen and QBs will win a championship, but you're going to need a big budget for a couple of years at least to keep your best players from being poached and to buy what you need for that second year.

Agree limiting transfers fixes a lot of it. Transfer once, fine. Transfer again, you got to sit out. Put in conditions to allow another  transfer if a coach leaves. That's it. No other conditions considered.

Exactly.   


We have the worst of both worlds right now.   Players getting paid but essentially everyone is on a one year contract.

What is the status on that kid that got NIL money to come to arkansas and then switched and went somewhere in CA? Wasn't the university suing his ass because he didn't return the money?

Wasn't that Nico Iamaleava's brother?

I don't remember the name but if I remember correctly his bother also did the same thing...committed, got NIL money and then went somewhere else

His brother, Nico Iamaleava, left Tennessee because of NIL dispute. He wanted more, but Tenn said no.He got paid less at UCLA anyway. He didn't technically take the money and run like his brother did at Arkansas, but left due to NIL.

This is what we've come to. A coach in a presser pleading for NIL donations feom local businesses.

That's a coach who gets it and wants to win.  Meanwhile at Arkansas our AD cries about it at Touchdown Club meetings.

NIL Menu:

Frank Broyles' Catfish Fillets ?
Houston Macademia Nutt encrusted Tilapia?
The Bielema Breakfast Bomb (Cold leftover chicken and a beer with a Tito's chaser)
The Chad- Liver and Cabbage cooked table side. 
The Kenny Hatfield- Dry White toast and water

that's a coach that won't stay at asu very much longer because their fan base just doesn't care. and why isn't the job their ad is doing mentioned if it's the coach that has to try to get out in front of it?

matt campbell gives a million a year pay cut so that money goes to their pitiful nil. what does that say about their ad?

not defending anyone here, but all anyone can do is beg, at the end of the day it's up to people to actually give money.

The Chad has to be raw bacon served at room temp with a maggot reduction.

Both are spot on.

Imagine 10 years ago someone told you that soon you will have coaches in press conferences begging local businesses to pay for player salaries.

I applaud the hustle. I hate what it has become.

[Show-Me Hog]

It's untenable. Begging your fans for charity to support a sports team means over the years, if this goes on, the fan base will dwindle significantly.

It's untenable.
