If you want to be precise about what that was. 1

Every young man has the right to do what he thinks is best for he and his family. You and I don’t have to agree with their decision or the method to their decision. This is the NIL world now.

If you want to be precise about what that was. Shane Beuschele did the same. So did the Clemson QB when Trevor got anointed. And other Texas players quit during the regular season in 2020 when the conference championship was off the table. 2

It was Nico this time.. and he's been hated and scrutinized since he took the pay for play deal they tried to hide under NIL. The reason they are so pissed is because they had state officials sue the NCAA to protect Nico and the university with the deal they did, to argue it was legit. They got him on the premise of money...the opposite of how we recruit here. Why they expected him or his family not to hold them hostage over MORE MONEY when the market dictates the ability to possibly earn more, i do not know. They essential got what they paid for. You can say they got a raw deal... but only they made a CFBP with him as the qb. I'm sure they made more than the 5-7 million he's gotten over the years. Chill... it's Amerikkkan capitalism and the Amerikkkan way... just new characters have the advantages, and the Pilgrims are ready to burn down the town.🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏿 What we can be happy about in all of this... Sark ain't going out like Willie Lump Lump..🤣🤣🤘🏿 I agree with much of what you write. You lose me with the kkk thing. But appreciate the rest. NIL is a form of professional model. It’s not an amateuristic model. Long past due imo. There is waaaay too much money in college athletics; so much so that the cost of a college education as form of payment is no longer commensurate with how much is generated for the schools by the athletes. Just my opinion.

If you want to be precise about what that was. Are you referring to the uNLv QB? If so, you’re leaving out a big part that was/is NIL related. Unlike Nico, who appears to have been asking for more NIL money; Sluka did not receive what he was promised by one of his coaches. And because he didn’t receive promised NIL funds, he decided to save a year of his eligibilty (to have another year of being able to earn NIL). Edited Sunday at 08:54 PM by Migas & Fajitas 1

It was NIL related because he wanted to transfer from UNLV and he also wanted to preserve his red shirt. Hilarious though that the backup to Sluka came in and played better than Sluka. And honestly out of all the deals that gets done(thousands upon thousands) you're going to hyper focus on two situations that the player completely quit on his their teams and put themselves above team and is 1000% NOT the "new norm" that you're trying to make it. Is 817 going to be brain damaged and say it was race related for Sluka as well because Sluka got just as much scrutiny for quitting on his team as Nico is getting.

You need to use google or something. He only wanted to transfer because he wasn’t getting the $100k he was promised. By preserving another year of eligibility he has opportunity to earn more money as it is very unlikely he will get paid in the NFL. Could be similar reason Nico wants more money now; does he project to make more money in the NFL? Im not hyper focused on anything. Stop projecting. The NIL is creating an evolving new norm right in front of your eyes when in comes to college athletics. You’re welcome to live in denial if you’d like. Athletes putting themselves ahead of their team happens frequently . This isn’t something new that was created by NIL. Pay attention more. Edited Sunday at 09:11 PM by Migas & Fajitas 2

IN SEASON? Nico has been tryna get this bag since December. So... Tennessee waited until he no showed 2 days before the spring game to cut bait.. why not back in December, when they came asking for 4 million? Then you can applaud Tennessee like they made the right decision. Nah, they tried to appease him and hymned and hawed and thought it would subside. Now they're going yo pirate the F out of some other team for a QB... and guess what... YOU WON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND TEAMMATES HE LEFT... ONLY HOW MUCH THEY PAY HIM! WHY?? BECAUSE U WILL NEVER HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY...!

Sluka never made 8 million and nobody really gave a damn about UNLV or Sluka. Nico was a 5 star recruit.. and his 8 million dollar deal made history. Definitely a different level.. which explains your ignorance when it comes to the outrage. Nico didn't just ask for more money this week, fella! Since DECEMBER!! So why didnt Tennessee cut bait then if they knew they weren't paying Nico? Why allow yourself to be in such a position? They should've cut bait then! You guys are ridiculous! Tennessee recruited on 🐂💩 premises ..... lead with NIL. This is what happens when the kid(family) doesn't love the school, they love what the school provides. Can't take your girl to Mickey D's and you met her at a Michelin star steak house.

The Left had their abortion protections and lost it. Why? They wanted more, killing born babies, ripping aborted babies apart and making a business out of selling their body parts, aborting babies in the ninth month of gestation. I agree with you the federal government shouldn’t be involved in NIL too. Nobody aborts babies at 9 months...that was just to get your vote by being outraged, just like these guys are outraged a kid who came halfway across the country for 8 million dollars are now pissed because his family wants more, and the market is bearing the possibility of it being made. Folks like to say what Nico is worth.. but if Duke had a choice between Nico and Darian Mensah before this situation became public... who you think they're taking? Better yet... let em both be recruits in the same year... would Duke pay that 8 for Nico.. seeing as though they did for a SHORTER TIME for Mensah?? 1
