Do you think Michigan is handing out $300k with no strings attached? NIL contracts are technically portable be rule, as they can’t be contingent on participation, let alone participation at a particular institution. Also, these big contract numbers are likely based on total potential value, renewed yearly, with a larger sum at the back end. Something along the lines of, “We’ll give you $300k. Each of the next three years, you’ll sign a contract for $50k/year and, in the fourth year, you’ll sign a contract for $150k.” Edited May 6, 2023 by DJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is a strange rule. The institution for which they compete will almost definitely be a primary input into how beneficial they are as a sponsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Man. You know what sucks? With the chatter that Minnow us pushing it is really putting a black eye on Kish's start as HC at OU. What sucks even more is that I agree with what him and some of his Jabronies are saying/pushing. That means I have to be okay with Kish's black eye(s) then, correct? He is going to have a difficult time succeeding if he us expected to fail up front straight away. "I know actually nothing.

Then Leonard arrived and the program has been going down. Lou finally started to get good kids and Leonard cans him and takes almost a month to replace him. Yet NDSU who didn't fire their coach was able to replace in 2 days. Joe C needs to connect the dots, read the tea leaves, just do his job and get a leader in that position. Looks really bad on Joe C with his non action IMO. A compliance guy can fire coaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H82Lose Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 There are issues that run deep over there, lots of them. Boosters are controlling, or trying to control a lot of the decisions. That is why it has been a roller coaster of "Koll is in" "Koll is out" "Nickerson is on campus" "they are not going to offer Nickerson" "coleman is throwing his hat in the ring" "Boosters don't want a cowboy running the program" My good friend, his son is a big time recruit for OU, and has signed. BUT, they have been left in the dark on who the coach was going to be. Heflin is the new coach, then they ghosted him and interviewed Kish and then here we are. I don't think he necessarily wants to leave for sure, but he wants to talk to other schools. I understand the rules, but why not let the kid look around? Is it a good thing to force this? I know I wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the infeasibility of performing the contractual requirements, paired with sort of a mutual understanding, keeps the Collectives’ NIL money from being portable when an athlete leaves said institution, in practice. I was just reading an article where the LifeWallet guy who pays crazy NIL at Miami (giving $800k and a car to a basketball player over two years, Cavinder twins, etc.) is pissed about Collectives because they are giving money not in line with “market value”. (I.e: Every University of Texas offensive linemen gets $50k/year from their Collective to make appearances at the children’s hospital.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His inlaws are from OKC and it is time for a move. I heard a few names already that he wanted on the staff. I also heard Mark Perry softly put his name in, but then seen the shit show and was not really wanting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU isn't necessarily more strict. They created a job (or jobs?) to handle the NIL portion for the athletes, meaning if someone wanted to throw NIL moneys at someone they also have to go through that department. It makes it so they can ensure they are complying to the NCAA rules and regulations of them. In actuality it appears that while it may be a more strict approach to getting NIL, it is more efficient for them. Those were my interpretations of why they might seem more strict.

The "issues" predated NIL. PSU raised it to another level over what Iowa was doing. Yes I was kidding and am sure they all have a compliance officer.

Sure, that is the legend. I think cold calls may have been made, rather than or in addition to emails. Compliance departments maintain records and report to the NCAA on behalf of university athletics. They aren't part of any university's outward-facing public relations department. Regardless of method used to communicate, the sole respondent was in the extreme minority (rightfully so for cause, IMHO). The sole respondent could've been a new hire and not fully trained up. It's not as if no response from others can only mean none or too few work there to adequately perform what the NCAA requires for member compliance.

1032004 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Saw Minnow dug up an article from 1993 where Leonard was on the team (and AA’d at one point) and started a petition to get the coach fired, which apparently worked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
