It’s no secret that tampering has become a major part of college athletics in the modern era of NIL, the transfer portal, and free transfers. However, on Monday, reports surfaced that South Carolina football starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers was at the center of a major tampering attempt.
In a separate piece on Sellers’ rise to college football prominence, The Athletic writer Bruce Feldman included a quote from Sellers’ father, Norris, that said the star quarterback turned down a big-money offer designed to get him to transfer from the University of South Carolina. According to Feldman, “the biggest offer he heard was for $8 million for two years.”
Feldman quoted the elder Sellers as saying, “He was offered all kinds of crazy numbers.” Norris said, “I told him he could say, ‘I’m gonna stay or I’m gonna go.’ [But] my two cents: It was to get into college on a scholarship, play ball, get our degree, and go on about our business. This NIL deal came later. We didn’t come here to make money. We came here to get our education, play ball, and with schools calling, we’re not gonna jump ship because they’re offering more than what we’re getting. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

I’d love to know how much he’s actually losing before I commented, but good for him anyway.

My man just turned down 8 million to stay at a school that has had 1 QB drafted in the last 34 years.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who ran for two touchdowns, left with an ankle injury right before halftime and was limited to one second-half series against in a loss to No. 16 LSU on Saturday.
Sellers was sacked by Bradyn Swinson on the next-to-last play of the half and limped into the locker room. Backup and former Auburn starting quarterback Robby Ashford took over for the final play.
Ashford remained in the game for South Carolina’s first series of the second half.
Sellers returned for a three-and-out series in the third quarter before going to the sidelines for good.
Sellers had a strong performance in the opening half. He had scoring runs of 4 and 75 yards, the second the longest ever by a quarterback in Gamecock history, and threw for 112 yards as South Carolina led the Tigers 24-16.
and then this happened -

All I can think about is how much Tebow or Manziel could've made in their three years of this era.
Both had a larger than football marketability.

If he turned down $4-$6M then he should’ve left.

I initially read the headline as he turned down an offer from USCe and thought he was chasing the money.

You realize the ONLY reason you won that game is because Sellers got hurt and Robby Ash played the 2nd half. And the refs Cheated us on a pick 6...
Let;s not forget what Sellers did to LSU's D last year.
