Nearly guaranteed now, Brock will transfer out this spring.

[Rockfly78]

I'm afraid Cutter will transfer.....during the off-season open period there will be several SEC coaches contacting him and offering him $$$$ and telling him you don't want to play in Stoopid's 1980 offense and lose all the time, when you can come play for us and play for championships. Auburn, Ole Miss and a few others will be QB shopping. They see Boley's potential

That’s a pretty lofty claim that sec schools already see his potential and will be offering big money for him. What are you basing this on?

 

[TankedCat]

First off, I didn't say NIL was ALL a joke. I said NIL " obligations" for players are a joke.

There could be a mutual parting of ways, but, again, where would he go??

Have you seen a worse QB at ANY level this year??

I haven't. And I watch a lot of FB.

And if CMS committed the starting QB job for 2 years with a 7 figure NIL deal to BVG, do you think CMS would go back on that commitment??

And if he did renege, do you think BVG and his dad would just accept that and transfer out??

the staff has to see what everyone else saw all year.

that is Calipari level coaching malpractice.

Stoops doubled down on a bad year by not committing to what he saw in practice

News flash: the roller coaster has come to it's end.
We need a new roller coaster.
Changing of all the carts is likely soon

Players want to be paid like "employees", then players can be "fired" like employees. If BVG isn't performing up to his NIL deal, then cut him loose.

An "employee" with a written employment contract is not terminable at will.

An "employee" with a written employment contract is not terminable at will.

The players can’t sign contracts. It’s all a wink wink nudge nudge deal. Reading the wiring on the wall, BVG may decide is best to go elsewhere.

 

[Stretch98]

Whether he plays or not will be up to CMS AND whatever the commitment was made to get him here. Was probably promised the starting QB job for 2 years.

I have not seen any NIL contract but the terms are likely similar to this:
1. UK pays X dollars per season for Y seasons.
2. Player must fulfill certain academic requirements and stay out of trouble.
3. If player leaves voluntarily after a season, he receives no money for future seasons.
Doubtful that any such contract would include a guarantee of a starting position irrespective of actual performance. One, that term would be against public policy and void. Two, it would be in conflict with the existing contract of the head coach to exercise his best efforts to win games for UK.

Brock can't be forced out early (which is OK because we need an experienced backup in the QB room) but he can choose to leave early (and terminate UK's payment obligation) if he is not satisfied with a backup role.

 

[secrules3]

If he wants to stay due to the NIL contract then he can be Cutter's backup or 3rd-4th string.

He has no business on an SEC team.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

He can choose to leave. But if anyone representing UK backs out of a NIL commitment, the opportunity to recruit quality athletes from the portal will become very slim pickings.

This. Whole lotta this.
