Maye will be the #1 NFL draft pick in 2024. If eligible he would be #1 in 2023. 99.999% of college players are not at his level of talent. And couldn't draw $500 in NIL, much less $5M.
Which proves my point that only the richest programs that can/will shell out 5 million for 1 player will continue to get the best players and the other teams will fight each other for scraps.
And yet with the best QB in CFB UNC went 9-4, lost to Georgia Tech with an interim coach, barely beat awful Miami & Virginia.
Or Russian collusion
And folks, this is how socialism works.
Again. This would be illegal under the law. You would get sued by the more valuable players. It would also be impossible to get all schools to abide by it. When there were rules in place about paying players those same schools cheated. Why wouldn’t they cheat with this agreement. It still kind of blows my mind how in America, we can’t get our public institutions in charge of education to stop cheating. The people in charge should have very high moral standards and immediately fire anyone that breaks the rules.
After winning 3 straight Heismans and 3 straight NCs the guy will bolt to the NFL after 3 years. And with it being TN I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't $8M/yr.
Are you scared of socialism? Do you enjoy the police and fire department? Military? Any public service? That's socialism too.
Sounds good when you don't share all the "benefits".
As has been pointed out in this thread, Knoxville paid guaranteed $8M for 4 yrs for a freshman who hasn't played 1 second of CFB.
Should all be decentralized and privatized. Government monopolies are the worst.
Or like a Trump guy lecturing on Hillary.
Tennessee would whore their own mother out for an SEC East title. Paying players is no issue whatsoever. Dirtiest program in the entire ****ing country.
Socialism is for losers. Just doesn’t work. The reason China is eating our lunch right now and should surpass us economically is they finally adopted a capitalist economic system 42 years ago to go with their autocratic rule . They don’t call it that intentionally but that is what it is .
China's economy is certainly not capitalist. I'm more for democratic socialism, which does work.
Yeah, works great in Europe if you have a sucker like the US to provide most of your country's defense for you.
Good memory. It was actually 12 months ago, right after the bowl before Coen left. We made a damn strong bid to get the reining Beltnikoff award winning wide reciever. He turned us down, we got Tavion Robinson instead.
Dialo runs the biggest hedge fund. In the world . He has spent a significant portion of his life in China and he says the economic system is capitalist but Xi laughs when others point that out to him and responds “ what difference is it it if a cat is black or white as long as it is healthy “ .
Agree with your comment . Several major corporations I have worked with all expressed frustration over the socialistic work rules in Europe . Everybody taking off August particularly drives them crazy .
Cal has his own issues, but he’s right about a segment of the UK fan base.Or Russian collusion
It's a distraction technique to deflect blame from yourself. Cal is doing the same thing blaming fans for the program's failures.
We haven't seen the contract and know one way or the other. I read that his contract is like 2.3 mil a year but is based off of his mkt value and him doing appearances and so forth. It isn't 8 million guaranteed if true. He was getting around 1 mil this year b4 he enrolls for appearances during visits and during the spring
