IMO the unlimited transfers is the one thing that really needs to be fixed, and it turns out it's quite easy to do so: just allow players to sign binding multi-year pay for play contracts. The attempts to identify "legitimate" NIL just brings us back to a system where we reward cheaters. Only this time it's even easier to cheat because there are many legitimate avenues to launder the money through. (If you think about it rules were much easier to enforce when players weren't allowed to take any money whatsoever).

The day TOF goes straight to the AD is the day I stop contributing. The AD needs to fund the $20M on their own from ticket sales, media payouts, etc. The purpose of TOF is to be additional compensation beyond the $20M.

No doubt but there was an order of magnitude difference between the typical handshakes and the bag drops SEC schools were doing pre-NIL. And now there is another order of magnitude difference between those bag drops and the "NIL" today. For players in the UT roster they are probably literally making 100x what they were before NIL... (Talking in terms of pure cash, not counting the value of the scholarships and whatnot).

If true they spent way too much money for a mediocre QB

The Rockets have a ton of talent but they were one of the worst teams in the NBA in half court offense. Clearly they got KD with the idea that he'll help solve that one weakness, and he isn't gonna do that by standing on the 3 point line like Ray Allen on the Heat! That's all I'm saying.

Yeah whether he can stay healthy is a big question for sure. Hope it goes well!

Of course they will keep his minutes down in the meaningless regular season, but you gotta be kidding me suggesting Sengun would be the #1 option on offense. He averaged 19 ppg on 54% TS compared to KD averaging 26 ppg at 64% TS. KD is far and away the best offensive player in that roster and got him specifically because they needed a number one option down the stretch of close games. It's not at all like Ray Allen standing on the 3 point line watching prime LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. That's just silly.

Uhmm, who do you think will be the #1 offensive option on the rockets over Kevin Durant? I'm sorry but Ray Allen on the heat is not a great comparison. Maybe more like Shaq when he went to Miami.

So is this guy 100% Tech, or is Texas still trying to get him?

Fairly unlikely that Bell gets two years with Arch. He may not even get one year with Arch.

That was a redshirt year so that didn't cost him at all. It's not like he was going to redshirt in 2022... Quinn could have come back and probably would have if not for Arch. The issue was that UT wasn't going to take him back as the starter and he didn't want to end his career at a different school, which I respect a lot!

The hunting stuff with Quinn has always been cringey but that pic takes it to a new level.

I think Quinn with the dolphins is similar. That might be the single best team for him to be on. Maybe the one saving grace for his slide.

I think Majors, Bond, and Quinn all have a decent chance in the 7th round so it could be up to 14. Maybe even Bolden.

Colt made almost $30M! Not bad at all.
