Sounds like you know from experience.

How was it?

So if he opts out of the game do they still have QB #16 or do they just make up a complete different player?

Yeah that’s believable.




None of that is not true

Top NIL Earners

Donghorn U has two of the top ten earners in the NIL era and one of them currently rides the bench.

To be fair, that's valuation not earnings.

Arch is probably still getting NIL funds placed into an account that he later will access once he becomes the starter. I don't believe for a minute he is rejecting NIL funds completely no matter what is being said.

So basically an ASU transfer that left when Herm got fired. A guy that barely beat a 7-6 Big10 team and has rode the bench for years (I hope he’d be better than a true freshman). And a guy that hasn’t signed a letter of intent yet. Congrats?

Talk about reaching lol. We have not had QB problems in quite awhile. Sorry it’s hard for you to understand.

Seems like a good, level-headed kid. His curse is all in the Manning nae that he has to carry around/live up to.

I feel sorry for him. I saw him play in person twice, and of course on ESPN, and he is a good football player, that "could" end up being special with the vast resources at his disposal at UT and within his family unit.

I never thought he was "great" by any stretch. Wish him luck. He carries a lot of expectations and weight for his age that most have no idea of.

You do realize. Living a normal college football life would be not opting out of the game. I mean, he actually is a college football player as far as I know. Did I miss something and he opted out of all of college football?

None of this actually makes any sense at all.

This is just some narcissistic bullshite from the Manning family. “Focus on football” is code for bullshite
So he’s a narcissist for not wanting to have his image used?

The amount of grown men tripping over this is borderline concerning

"To focus on football." He literally told you.


Does that make any sense to you?

Any number of reasons:

He actually does want to focus on football

He doesn’t know how his image will be used in a video game that hasn’t been released in 11 years (almost entirely due to the fact of issues stemming from name, image and likeness) and maybe doesn’t want to be tied to it at first

He doesn’t want it as an additional distraction to the other bullshite he has to put up with anytime something immaterial happens to him (he was in the news for dropping his student ID two different times)

His family has indicated that he doesn’t want to earn any NIL money until he’s playing more

Take your pick. Idk personally why he opted out, but I’m sure he and/or his family has their reasons. Either way, the reaction from a bunch of grown men over a video game they haven’t even seen yet is pretty comical

How does accepting a check and getting a copy of the video game affect his season preparations?

EA already told you. The $600 is just to put the player in the game. They have an ambassador program where they can earn more and do more.

Again, how does creating a digital player in a video game create a distraction? Also, he's a fricking back up.

$600.

I'm sure they do have their reasons. But it sure as shite isn't to focus on fricking football.
