Transfer decisions are dropping

Obviously I have no idea how this young man would view the UK program.....
Well, if Levis goes first round . . . and we get a body or two on the line . . . .

We aren't Bama, but we are SEC, and we do not have to rely on risky or fluke offenses to win . . . we annually are top 3 or 4 in the SEC in defense.

We have as much TV exposure as any Big Ten program.

The women are better looking, the whiskey is spelled with an "e," . . . what's not to like?
 
This! If a player signs a NIL deal then require at least 2-year contract.
Better yet, make it a three month deal, with an “up-front” payment of X amount of dollars. Then ad that the buyer pays an additional $175.00, or $25.00 per quarter for a two year quarterly option that it may exercise (or may not exercise) in it’s sole discretion. Each Q. thereafter, should the buyer excercise it’s option, it will pay X amount of money on the first day of the quarter. Should the buyer decide not to exercise it’s option, the contract has been fully fulfilled.

Hence, every three months, the “buyer” can walk for any reason it chooses, and does not have to specify a reason or reasons it might walk in the initial contract.

Think a player would not sign? If the amounts of money we are hearing are correct, the first payment and the quarterly payments, thereafter could be as high as 250K to 500K. Paying up-front for a defined option for future payments is pretty common, and is binding upon the parties.

So the player gets homesick, gets injured, gets arrested, tranfers, or quits. The “buyer” is under no obligation beyond the first quarterly payment.

Contracts are not rocket science.
 
Listened to Cover 3 podcast released yesterday - discussed Wisconsin hire and Fickell replacements - and they said going rate for HS five star is $3 million for four years.

Portal transfers may be a way to Moneyball NIL given these market rates.
Sounds right. I'm 100% guessing, but I think NIL contracts are like NFL only from standpoint they announce the total amount. Yet, the total contract $ rarely happens.

I don't think collectives are naive enough to guarantee $ even if player leaves. Some of the top 50 recruits may get more $ when they step on campus, but most players get their $ throughout the year. You know two of the higher amounts are paid out in Feb & Aug to entice players to stick with program after the 2 transfer portal dates.

Texas QB got millions from Ohio State and bolted to Texas. Buyer’s beware but if you can play the portal right it’s an instant fix for programs like KY.
This isn't true. Look it up the big money came from a Texas sports card company. He could have signed with them in HS but texas law prohibited it. So he bypassed his sr year and went to college early. He got a truck from a Columbus dealership and the owner had it structured like a lease. It was tied to him doing ads. Once he left he had to give the truck back
 
Michigan QB Cade Mac would be a solid option for QB Next year! Wonder if we even have a shot at him. Bet Kirby tries to get the guy to campus.
