re: NIL/transfer portal question

If school A offers a backloaed contract and school B pays everything up front, what would be more appealing to you?
I get what you're saying, but what if the Power 5 conferences all agreed that all NIL deals should be backloaded? I think it's a win-win situation for the Power 5 schools because it would drastically cut down on players transferring every year and give more stability to each team because schools won't be losing their best players every year.

NIL/transfer portal question
Posted by homemadeshine on 4/20/25 at 10:52 pm
With so many players demanding money, can colleges backload NIL contracts, which would lower the financial risk for schools and also slow players from jumping in and out of the transfer portal because their biggest payout is at the end of their NIL deal?

College sports don't exist. They are professional minor league teams that college campuses happen to host.
Bingo. They need remove the word college when referring to football and basketball - men and women - because both sports have nothing to do with going to college, period! I wouldn't be surprised if you looked up the definition of insanity, I'm pretty sure it would just say college athletics. Sadly, it's only going to get worse and drive more and more fans away from the game!
In fact, one of my best friends called me last night to tell me that he's made the decision to not renew his two sets of college football season tickets to his alma mater, which he's had for many, many years. At first, I thought he was joking, but he said in the last two weeks his college has lost eight starters to the portal and he refuses to support a group of players that have no loyalty to his team!

There was a day when my world revolved around Saturday football from before dawn till after midnight. Today it sits at the bottom of my priority list right below cutting grass.
Five years ago, I followed recruiting daily and National Signing Day was like a major holiday, but I could less now. Also, I no longer have any interest in going to LSU games because there's such a disconnect with the players coming and going that I can easily find other things to occupy my time. It's sad, but true!

It’s simply overreaction by fans. 95% of the team works their arse off and loves the school they play for. You just choose to look at the outliers and put that on every college football player.
Overreaction? The Baylor Bears men's basketball team won the national championship in 2021, and within the last week, the entire roster just jumped into the transfer portal. It's worth noting the team had a good season and was a 9th seed in the tournament just a few weeks ago!

Never said it wasn't popular, but the reality is all good things eventually come to an end. NIL/TP will eventually run fans away because when there is no loyalty by the players, fan interest will also wane.

If all schools would say, “hey we are not paying you guys to come play. And every school stick to it then it can be about development and the love of the school/coach. But if each school keep bidding for players, then it will continue.
In a perfect world, your scenario would make sense, but colleges have been bidding on the top players for many, many years and that's never going to change, with or without the transfer portal and NIL! The courts have also ruled in favor of the players getting paid, so the NCAA doesn't have a leg to stand on and the transfer portal and NIL has gotten so out of control, it virtually impossible to stop it at this point.

Believe what you want, but the reality is LSU is just as vulnerable as any other program out there. LSU have lots of money, but boosters are only going to give so much money once a few high prized players turn out to be duds, a few transfer out or LSU has a couple of bad seasons and fans find better ways to spend their money.
No program is immune to the insanity that is occurring in college athletics!

ESPN can pump in all the crowd noise they want, but they can't pump money into these college bank accounts when stadiums are half-filled, apparel sales plummet and and fans find better ways to spend their money!

As a huge LSU fan all my life, I never thought the day would ever come that I would lose interest in LSU sports, but it's heading in that direction!
Over time, college fans are going to lose more and more interest in supporting their favorite team because when there is absolutely no loyalty by the players, fan loyalty is also going to wane and who can blame them.
Tennessee is a prime example. A couple of years ago, the Vols signed the top player in the country in QB Nico Lamaleava, which included an 8M NIL deal, and yesterday he basically gave UT the middle finger because they failed to meet his demand for more money. Just today, it was announced that the entire Baylor men's basketball team has now jumped into the portal and they will now have to go sign and entirely new team for next year.
At some point, something has to give or the future of college athletics is in serious trouble. The problem is the NCAA has gone to court several times on different issues and lost every time!
Regardless, those overpaid NCAA big wigs better quickly find a solution to stop this insanity or it could quickly find itself unemployed and signing up for food stamps!

re: Recently I cancelled my service with ATT but they said I could keep the wireless modem
Posted by homemadeshine on 4/10/25 at 6:41 pm
I figured that was most likely the case, but I just wanted to see if I or a friend ever needed a modem for whatever reason, I could have one as a backup so it wouldn't interrupt any service.

I got an ATT wireless modem about six months ago and ATT said it did not want it back, so I can I use that modem with other stuff?

That must be the case because I watch YouTube video of these guys trapping 40-50 hogs at a the time and talk about how out of control they are. I asked a bunch of buddies of mine that are hunters and none of them have ever hit a pig, but they've all hit a deer or came very close to hitting one.

Hope you never hit a pig. Buddy got one going down hwy 23 close to Myrtle grove and it focked his truck up. He tried to save the meat but it was a 300 lb boar that stunk like shite
I've never hit a pig or even seen a dead one on the side of the road, but I did hit a deer at about 1 a.m. going 65 about 20 years ago. It went straight up in the air and did a crap load of damage. I drove to my girlfriend's house nearby - yes, it was many years ago - and called the sheriff department to report the accident and to see if I had any responsibility in removing the deer.
The sheriff laughed and said son you are supposed to make sure the body is not a hazard, but this is the country and that thing is already on somebody's grill. Glad someone got some enjoyment because it almost totaled my fairly new Grand Am!

I think it's safe to say wild pigs are a major problem, but how do wild pigs not suffer the same fate as the deer?

I wish him the best. He represented LSU in a first class manner during his time in Baton Rouge, so I hope he knocks it out of the park.

Prolly will make more at LSU than that league....
There's no doubt she will make more money in college, but in these crazy days of NIL/TP, there are no guarantees any player is returning to the same team! Do I want her to come back to LSU? Absolutely!
The problem is when there is complete silence about such a big announcement from both the player and HC, it's a little concerning. The reality is loyalty means nothing to players anymore and it's all about money! We all know that FJ is an extremely talented player and I can see another team that's missing that one key player throw a lot of money at her. It's happening every day in college athletics!

I think a mid major beating a power 5 is bigger deal than a lower level national championship. Everyone remembers App State beating Michigan.
Valid point, but you're talking about a once-in-a-lifetime event, whereas chasing a NC every year would give all the smaller schools a realistic chance of accomplishing something that is clearly out of its reach right now.
Many, many years ago, my middle school team won the Catholic school championship and we still talk about that today. We knew if we played against the city league teams we would get demolished, but that didn't take away the excitement we got to experience and a memory we will never forget!

Posted by homemadeshine on 4/4/25 at 3:49 pm
I'm not trying to stir the pot, but I haven't read one comment from her or Mulkey about the situation. Myself, like most of you, thought that meant she was coming back to LSU, but this is all about money and we know a lot of money is being thrown around. Not hearing from either FJ and Mulkey is a little concerning because this is huge news for the women's program moving forward, but silence of the other end has me a little worried!
