re: Arch Manning will NOT opt his NIL into the EA CFB video game

So you don’t see how it could be a distraction in the locker room that he gets plenty of press over it despite not playing, while other starters on the team at different positions will not get the same press despite opting in?

That really worked out for them, huh? There's more press about a back up not opting in than any of their starters opting in.

Also… you do realize that not every player starts the moment they step on the campus, right? Is he supposed to start over the incumbent starting QB who is a heisman favorite going into the season?

Right...

Like I said: the grown men losing their minds over a decision that doesn’t affect their lives one iota is pretty comical

Imagine what social media would be like if people only discussed super serious shite that only affects them? That would be no fun.

Since you clearly know more about the Mannings, why did he opt out?

I do know the Mannings. I grew up in the same sports circles as Eli. I can whole-heartedly tell you they did not make Arch opt out to focus on football or to not accept NIL money. That's not how they work.
