Yea, that's more or less what I was referring to. To have all that money, a free house, to play football and view the california women? It's practically a no-brainer.

I was thinking something similar to that tweet. I wonder if the NFL is going to get salty about college (boosters) paying out better than entry-level contracts. I assume that the players getting those packages will also go high enough in the draft that they won't get a pay cut by going pro. But if things keep escalating there is going to be a crossover point. Eventually, someone is going to just retire after being picked. They'd have a few million in the bank and won't have to risk further CTE.

I think enough of these kids will bust that the boosters won't want to do this as much in the future

How many of these boosters can pool together these sums of money just so a school has an incrementally better chance of winning? I don't see it as sustainableI think enough of these kids will bust that the boosters won't want to do this as much in the future

I don't blame Addison for taking the deal, but my interest in college football has gone in the tank at this point.
Teams can basically just steal other teams' best players now, why even bother unless you're a fan of one of the teams with the most insane boosters?

Right. This isn't going to be a major epidemic annually I don't think.

IMO, the NCAA did this to themselves. All they had to do was pay the players originally, but here we are.I don't blame Addison for taking the deal, but my interest in college football has gone in the tank at this point.

Was Shocky’s tantrum about how he somehow hadn’t improved a lick since the day he stepped on campus.

Addison officially in the portal. "A return to Pittsburgh remains viable" they say

Define "viable"
No way a 20 year old kid sees the stuff posted by Pitt fans on the social medias and says "I'm going back there"

If this happens, Narduzzi might actually murder Brennan Marrion

My Canes seem to be able to get whoever they want in the portal via the Ruiz family/ LifeWallet NIL deals but I don’t like this. Isiah Wong threatening to leave UM bball last week if he didn’t get a raise. So basically every athlete is a free agent every offseason if we keep going in this direction.
Having said that…I’d welcome Addison in Coral Gables. Go seamlessly from Pickett to another Rd1 QB in Tyler Van Dyke.

"He went into the portal the real way -- the right way -- and he had a lot of opportunities with Name, Image and Likeness, but I think he was looking for the right fit," Narduzzi said." He was looking for the right personnel and we have a lot returning on offense -- that's what he was looking for.
"He wasn't looking for a payday. He was looking for the right place to be with a great culture and he wanted people -- he wanted a team that was going to be [tight]. So that's what Kedon's got, and he's been special ever since he got here."
