Glasco leaving

[CajunVic]

THIS….I cannot express enough how much on point this comment is.

When NIL was introduced I actually thought it was a good idea. In theory, a local business pays a player for a commercial appearance or something of the sort. Players can make money off of jersey sales. Things of that nature. What we have now is basically a slush fund for anyone and everyone to throw money at.

the problem with this limitation is the limitation

the Supreme Court said that an athletes right to make money is a constitutional right

they didn’t say it was kind of a constitutional right

so any limitation on that constitutional right is a violation of the co stitution

it is kind of like being a little bit pregnant

that concept is not available in pregnancy not is it available in NIL

hope that helps many of you understand

I know many will never accept it, however the refusal to accept it will continually limit the potential success of Louisiana athletics

there are no if’s ands or butts about it

I know it is what it is with this NIL garbage, but fans are not supposed to be FUNDING NIL.

Players are supposed to be able to capitalize on their Name, Image, or Likeness (NIL) via local business advertising, apparel sales, appearances/autograph sessions, etc.

The whole notion of a “collective” for NIL for recruiting purposes (or player retention) is completely ridiculous and heinously against NCAA rules.

I wish at some point the (neutered) NCAA would just come out and say they don’t have any intention of enforcing THESE rules and end the idiotic charade of programs buying players from other schools under the guise of “NIL”

Good post.

Just listened. Sounds like it was the lack of NIL money at UL which is the reason Gerry left. About the same salary at TX Tech but promised more NIL money at Texas Tech.
I still think Gerry should have gave the program/fans a farewell post/statement or something.
Very curious if he told the team before the news broke.

They looked to be managing okay without it. At least up until now. Top ranked recruiting classes. More talent coming in. No big contributors leaving. Louisiana has been a destination.

In a few years it may be different but they were weathering the storm pretty darn well if you ask me.

More NIL deals being the driving factor to leave for a losing program seems insane.

NIL is coming and it’s coming hard to softball

at 65 would you prefer to be at a place thst is ahead of the curve or behind the curve

and then there is the thing of coaching with your daughter especially after having missed out on that earlier opportunity by having lost a daughter

things to learn . . . NIL is either coming to Louisiana or the once proud program is fixing to be not as proud . . . sticking your head in the sand because you fail to accept reality may make reality show up a lot earlier, in fact it is right on Louisiana’s doorstep

I think he's a narcissist. He apparently went to tx tech and met that team before telling the team he coached for 7 years. That ain't right.

It’s just wild disheartening and disrespectful for what we knew as Gerry Glasco while he was here. At least tell your players first.

I agree. JMV indicated that there may be more that happened with Glasco and it will come out at some point

I’d bet he told a few…

Do you really believe the last sentence on your post?

Like in a few that hit the portal????

It’s my opinion, so yes.

With everything UL had back next year, a coach leaves this late in his career for basically the same salary but on the promises that he’ll have NIL to give players?

He built his version of the program with little to none. Why jump now to start from scratch? He was doing extremely well without buying payers. He could have waited and bought players in the SEC or ACC if that opportunity opened and continued to enjoy success in Lafayette.
