That what is being promised is not what is being delivered.

Certain 5* WR says he has not been paid a dime from his I&L since he has been at aTm. (2 yeaes)

YIKES

quote:

In a comment on social media this week, wide receiver Evan Stewart – a five-star wide receiver who signed with the school in the 2022 class – revealed that he “didn’t get paid a dollar” despite the assumption that the players in that class were well compensated for their commitments


Robbing kids of their time and well deserved money

Which is worse. Stealing from your players or stealing from a children's hospital?

Stealing from your players, genius.

Rubbin is racin'.

It's cute you have morals after your coach destroyed a kid so he could get into the College Football Playoff *Invitational this year

Why would that be relevant to whether A&M was/wasn't paying their NIL obligations? Why is that even a flex?

Either A&M didn't promise this kid a dime or they did. If they did, why wasn't he paid? If they didn't, someone should call him out.

They are supposed to get their own deals. Maybe the college can set them up with deals. What’s happened is they get promised they can get deals with local businesses, and those businesses are like frick that. No thanks! Because that person may be a piece of shite. No business is going to give you money, unless you give them a return.

Stewart was saying the whole "$30 million class" thing from SlicedBread in Twitter was bullshite from the start and it's amazing the whole country bought into it with absolutely no proof.

It meant nothing about broken promises. People just keep believing the bullshite put out by anonymous internet posters.

The Texas A&M take on it is that Stewart was poking fun at an Oklahoma message board poster (named "slicedbread") who stated that each 2022 Texas A&M recruit was paid a million dollars to sign. Note that Evan Stewart never said he wasn't paid by anyone, just not by Texas A&M. He didn't rule out that an NIL paid him to commit. Just not technically the university itself.

Don’t know but if either resulted in a win Saban would have Turner do both of these things.

Good. If you go to a school because of the money they promise you, then you can frick off looking for sympathy when they stiff you in the end.

I hope this happens more and more across the country

In the corrupt current system?

Yes

A former Heisman contender QB from FSU.

Seems like a kid that worked his arse off and sacrificed for his team for someone with more power to tell him what he did wasn't good enough.

Saban took equity and a chance at even more equity from a young African American kid.

He and aTm were made for each other.

To be clear, he's not saying he hasn't earned a dime from NIL, he certainly has... he is saying the A&M promises didn't deliver.

"As far as social media brand recognition is concerned, Stewart boasts almost one million followers on Instagram and over 700,000 followers on TikTok. And Stewart has already signed a lucrative NIL deal with the fashion brand Coach."


He's pissed that he left a lot of money on the table by signing with A&M, but he's earned on his own merits/via his NIL agency.

Who woulda predicted collectives and agents seeking to secure players' NIL right would screw them?


Newsflash: Anyone familiar with AAU and basketball recruiting could've told you that securing a player early (and I mean as young as grade school), grabbing their NIL rights, pushing them to certain schools, and exploiting them has been a science for years and NIL would open that up in football.
