UNLV QB Quits on Team Takes a Self Imposed Redshirt

[Big Tyme]

I understand that all of his promised financial gains were delivered but after his performance so far, his family thinks he is worth more. This is so far from what college athletics should be.

Speaking of athletes getting paid, here comes Title IX. Not framed like that…yet. WBB hasn’t had enough input.

Sorry, but that dog won't hunt. Likely the two highest NIL deals so far were held by female athletes [Livvy Dunne and Caitlin Clark]. Of course, both of those were legitimate NIL and not the artificial NIL deals created by collectives tied to universities.

Once the covid year people are gone it would go back to 6 years to play 4, so you cant pullll a move like this more than once, grad skool or not, one would think

I also always hear the media refer to "granting a red shirt" or coach "giving" or "taking away" the redshirt.
Seems like you shouldnt have automatic and unlimited number

Good discussion about there is not as much NIL money out there as people think. https://www.cbssports.com/college-ba...eam-midseason/

"I think the biggest misconception is that there's so much money out there," said Marc Hsu, a former DePaul and Western Kentucky assistant who is now the VP for the agency Verus Basketball. "There's not. There are a few schools that have a handful of money and it's not what people think schools have. For example, one school is two million dollars over what they've committed to on that roster. They thought they were going to get donations from people, but it didn't come in. There's not all this money that everyone thinks.

Great point. Obviously all these nil seeking scholar athletes never took econ 101 or ever read a newspaper, its the economy stupid

Oh, they are doing much better than anyone who has taken those courses . . .

Sounds like the “Agent” was there from the start. Main issue is that he’s not registered with the state of Nevada so the school/collective can’t negotiate anything with him. Kid signed on a verbal promise with not paperwork. Welcome to the real world kid.

Didn't know the particular kid had to be "registered" with that state. Is that a thing?

Don’t mess with the narrative son, Shilo is the second coming of Brady.

I’ve lost all respect I had for Prime. He needed to knock his son down a rung a long time ago. If he truly wants the kid to succeed, humility and taking responsibility for performances on and off the field. Throwing your OL under the bus after a bad game (even if true) won’t fly in the NFL.

But it’s Prime…the swagger defined all.

The Agent needs to be registered with the state, not the kid. I'm sure it's different in other states but that's what I read about this case in Nevada.
