re: Deboer says he may get a player to come from NFL

Based on how much some LSU fans “REEEE!!!” over my posts you guys are terrified of me. That is corndog logic 101.

You would think at some point the NFL might step in once they realize most kids are getting paid more money to stay in college, and their players union is probably noticing that the rookie contract scale drops like a rock by comparison after the first few picks.

Meanwhile I guess it's just more free development for them, though.

You'd think they might, but then consider the actual situation (for both NFL teams/owners, and the NFLPA):

These are marginal guys, looking to make the practice squad. Those spots are limited, and fluid (you could get cut from that during the season). You almost certainly are NOT planning on relying on them. So, if they go back to college, it frees up a practice squad spot for someone else.

Player in question makes more in NIL. Another player gets to make money on the practice squad. Team gets to develop one on the squad, sends another back to work on stuff in college an additional year. In theory, that player could blow up and get drafted higher, or at least could gain something to give him a better chance to make the active roster next season.

It's really no-lose for the NFLPA or the player in question. It's only potentially a risk for an NFL team if the player improves immensely, and gets drafted by another team; in theory they could have kept him and had that happen for themselves.

The SEC needs to step in and blackball this shite.

Dang, what would you people be saying about DeBoer if he'd produced the same W/L record as your crappy programs have over the past 2 seasons?

I know you want to act like he just went 7-5 in back to back seasons, but making Atlanta...making the playoffs...that'd be the glory years for some of you.

Still hate it.

I don't have any blind obedience to the head coach of my team that I accept anything done without questioning it.

I think all of us hate it, at the end of the day. But it's happening so I'd rather my coach get on board with the current environment than drag his feet like Dabo.

If your coach participates or not, this is still happening. The coaches understand this.

No team should be doing it, otherwise it just becomes NFL like. It isn’t hard to understand
