Yep, Juice apparently got a rent free condo, tricked out golf cart and NIL cash, all while not playing. I have a hard time believing that players who are working the NIL system like that are being studious about their classes.

I can’t help but wonder how low Ole Miss’s standards must be to accept these “student” athletes that likely have transcripts full of “incomplete” and/or “F” for class grades.

have no idea who Deion Smith is but 100% agree that there will be less NIL $s in the collectives in 5 years. Very few freshmen are worth even $100k when weighing the risk that they don’t work out or get hurt.


Maybe, but I dunno. Gotta take flyers and pay people just like the NFL does. People get hurt there too, it happens.

It's almost like they have skill or potential that you don't have. Crazy!

Surely these boosters have to have some type of clauses in the contracts by now. They didn’t become wealthy by being stupid

There’s no way you think that lambo was his right?

The only money we lost was the two hour lambo rental we paid for with his announcement. All of his deal was back loaded into the season. These people running NIL aren’t idiots like OP.

I think there are legitimate morons in this thread that believe OM gave a juco wr enough money up front to purchase a Lamborghini and other lavish trinkets.

There are also morons in this thread that believe “judas wells” isn’t going to absolutely dunk on his old school (not James Madison). He will go nuclear on that school’s bitcc arse defense

This type stuff will eventually lead to boosters not giving away millions in NIL money.

These control freak boosters will not like their money just disappearing for nothing in return.

By next season this guy could be in prison or just quit football all together.

In 5 years NIL will not be as big as it is now.

Basically this kid stole NIL money.


Boosters will burn that place down before they stop stupid bidding. The players have hit the lotto. And there is no restraint insight.

Ole Miss’s standards for football players are the same as every other school. None except their athletic abilities. Which is why all the domestic violence, drunk driving, drugs and guns we see everywhere. It’s big business. Sad but true.

Yeah go ahead and try that. Tell me how it goes for you.


Maybe not, but I don't see why these NIL deals aren't contractually binding. If they are, then make it at least a 2yr and performance based.

It's just money. Schools and boosters have unlimited funds.

“Today, I was told he would not be a part of our program."

Sounds like someone in the UM academic compliance office is about to be picking up trash on Taylor.
