Nope… this is exactly the stand that every big time school should take. If they did, then it would be painfully obvious why those other schools pay the money. It’s because they can’t do all the other things it takes to be a successful program. I’m not sure what our fans are even thinking here??? Pay them and then what? Do whatever the hell they want because there is no need to work anymore. They got their money. This will absolutely ruin college kids and these bigger institutions who know how to actually develop these guys. They will make their money when they earn it. Until then, LSU isn’t the right place for you bums. This is the right way to do this. It’s not old school, it’s the way it works! It’s proven and it’s not going anywhere. It works! There will be guys who want to play and develop and there will be moms and dads who say you know what, that’s the school I want my kid at because it will force them to do it the right way. Any parent who doesn’t say that isn’t looking very far into the future. They can make money. Ask Malik, Ask Daniels. They will make their money if they go out and earn it. Giving money away for nothing is complete BS. And it’s for nothing. They didn’t prove a damn thing yet. There’s no way I’d go give out a million dollars for signing when he can just leave next year. These kids need to see this as a good thing not a bad thing. Any mature adult would tell you that this is how you actually build a championship. Not by buying players who have no skin in the game. That’s absurd. Those teams that are, they might be getting players but they will get their butts whipped when a real team built on hard work comes knocking at their door and has just as much talent as they do, who developed into the team they are. Those teams won’t be close to each other. Something needs to be done about this. It’s upside down. It’s not good for anyone. Y’all actually think letting a kid decide on his future school by how much money he gets is good??? ?? good luck!!
