Obviously I’m biased, but James is the best in the business and earned this opportunity. Only upset that I found out on RP…

And you probably have a new sponsor for RR…nice.

Wait until you’re older, James’ deal could be overshadowed. Had a cousin find out they were having their first grandchild on FB…in a post not directed to her. It’s the world we’re in.

I would chime in on this post, but I’m afraid it will be deleted as my last few posts have been deleted. Turbine, how should me as fan think about this situation?

Thanks guys!

Wanna buy some radio and digital ?

Yes, but that’s the issue. Deep pockets rule the day, always follow the money.

I agree.

Perhaps future conferences will be determined by athletic budgets, which will also include NIL money (even though it is an outside source it is the primary source).

Instead of P5 and G5 we can be
The Haves and The Have Nots
The Rich Kids and The Poor Kids
Them and Us (or to shorten it; ThemUs)

I will share a good example. I'll try and keep this short. I'm a master jeweler. Been in this business for 29 years come June of this year. I've been the bench jeweler for a local Lafayette jewelry store for the last 4 years. 2 weeks ago, I signed paperwork to purchase another jewelery business. I went in to inform the owner of this and that I would be leaving. She was sad and asked if there was anything she could do to get me to stay. There wasn't, of course, because this was a huge opportunity for me. Keep in mind, I would now be in direct competition with them. She didn't get mad or upset. She looked across the desk, thanked me for all I had done for them and said, " you know what James? At the end of the day, I always ask God to bless me with the best opportunities, so how can I get upset for God blessing you with one?"

Thank you for that example. It actually helps me quite a bit in getting through this whole NIL deal, transfer deal, college athletics deal, amature athletics deal.

College athletics is no longer amatuer athletics and that was the key for me; these athletes playing for the love of the game. Sure some played in order to get to professional sports but man, I am not seeing a great future here, at least not for me.

Turb, you missed one.

That ship sailed on multiple fronts; the sooner that is realized, the better RP will be.

No matter what you think about their decisions, you must realize that these are kids 17-23 years old. I know I made stupid decisions back then, but it wasn't magnified being a college athlete. Heck, I still make stupid decisions.

The best part is he was upset about being "censored" but wants someone else to be censored.
