Sounds like negotiations for extra NIL for one more game underway:
And for recruiting and bragging rights as well.I think all sides really see this match up vs a good Clemson team, and relatively recent mini dynasty/top tier championship program as a real opportunity for CMS and program.
A win would be huge for moral and momentum.
It's amazing what's happened to athletes these days.
I was hoping he'd come around. 😉
Labor expecting compensation for services rendered is indeed amazing.It's amazing what's happened to athletes these days. I'm not sure when it became expected/commonplace to just say "I'm finished. Not gonna play the last game. I'm outta here!"
Sad.
Well lets see the contract then. Management is usually prettygood when it comes to its employees especially when there is no union involved🙄Management expecting labor to complete activities for which they have already been paid to complete is indeed, amazing.
No, I’m not saying this is what is happening here, but the point is still relevant.
Indeed, a contract would be a solid solution. Currently everything is simply implied, at least in my view. Players expect to be paid to show up and play, and universities (or at least me as a fan) expect players to in fact show up and play, in ALL of the games on the schedule. Pretty simple, really.Well lets see the contract then. Management is usually prettygood when it comes to its employees especially when there is no union involved🙄
This problem could be solved by good contract language, and payment scheduling,Getting in to the business of “negotiating” payment to bother to play in a bowl game is a bad precedent to set.
High school will follow soon.Good college players are professionals now.
And now we have a decent chance of winning.Hell yeah. 1 more game! We need you out there Ray!
Thought I read that Boley is already drawing nil money.High school will follow soon.
They already are . Reed had a deal his senior year.High school will follow soon.
For realThat would be great if it happens.
It's crazy the NIL money he already received wasn't enough apparently though.
He’s already been compensated well tho. His whole goal was to win as many games to get to a bowl, now you need more to play in said bowl? That’s like saying at your job, ok I’ve worked 11 months but for the last month ima need a huge bonus to finish the year.Labor expecting compensation for services rendered is indeed amazing.
I agree, NIL should be contract based and include incentives to reach the full deal. Maybe bonuses if certain thresholds or team success is met.This problem could be solved by good contract language, and payment scheduling,

I’m still waiting for this phenomenon to move into the regular season.It's amazing what's happened to athletes these days. I'm not sure when it became expected/commonplace to just say "I'm finished. Not gonna play the last game. I'm outta here!"
Sad.
Boley has one as wellThey already are . Reed had a deal his senior year.
Good. Afterall, this is America and no entity or organization should ever be able to prohibit a person from earning a living.Boley has one as well
Only private entities can be involved. These may be coops formed to narrowly fit the description of "private," but I doubt Leary received 30K a month with no written agreement.But, if I am a business owner sinking considerable $$$'s into having "Tommy Football" endorse my pizza joint, I would want every detail in writing. But, I'm thinking purely from a business perspective.
This kind of crap is going to make me find other things to do with my time than watch UK football. If I wanted to watch professional football, I'd watch professional football.That would be great if it happens.
It's crazy the NIL money he already received wasn't enough apparently though.
Your employer asks you to work an extra shift without compensation and you say “Sure”? I’d say pay me I don’t work for free.He’s already been compensated well tho. His whole goal was to win as many games to get to a bowl, now you need more to play in said bowl? That’s like saying at your job, ok I’ve worked 11 months but for the last month ima need a huge bonus to finish the year.
A bowl game is part of the season. It isn't like someone caught the players by surprise and just told the players they have another game to play. They knew it was a major goal for the entire season and team.Your employer asks you to work an extra shift without compensation and you say “Sure”? I’d say pay me I don’t work for free.
I bet his contract was just through regular season.
What kind of fool would negotiate a contract for a player to only play the regular season but not include the bowl game (or playoffs for other teams not named UK)? I don’t watch sports only for the love of the game, there needs to be some sort of payoff at the end, a bowl or a playoff. If UK football gets to a point where they’re just playing twelve random games with no payoff at the end because guys are sitting out or transferring, I’m not wasting my time any longer. If UK only puts 85% of the team they played with all year in play at a bowl, I'm watching something else. I'm damn sure not going to a bowl to root for 85% of the team I watched and rooted for during the regular season. I’m replacing the time spent watching and going to games with something else.Your employer asks you to work an extra shift without compensation and you say “Sure”? I’d say pay me I don’t work for free.
