Who cares what Finebaum wants to do?
What he went there for the school He went there for the money we know who's lying
No one hates the NCAA 😂🤡
He absolutely doesn't have plans on playing after college
Money has ruined college football…. Take Sanders for one. All I had going for me was college football.. now I won't watch…. It makes me want to puke
Personally hope the NCAA and NIL just turn into the UFL getting money.
They aren't student-athletes, and that's ok. Nobody is getting an education and going to class when kids are transferring 2 or 3 times in 4 years.
Its all about money, and for players… getting to the NFL. Let's call it what it is. This fake "student athlete" stuff has to go
Before the season no agent. After 2nd game, he gets a representative. After 3rd game, he is outta here.
Always get them to sign the oh paperwork first. Then, they would not try this on him. Bottom line.
Or, how's this, he nor any college athlete needs to be or deserves to be paid. They are getting everything else for free anyway. Once this Pandora's box was opened this kind of mess was inevitable and now you can't close it.
Exactly why Saban retired, I wouldn't want to put up with these demanding kids either. They are getting a full ride for an education, free meals, free travel, free flights, ect…
oohhh molly 💦
Anyone who did not see this coming with NIL is an idiot. NIL should never have happened. It was never going to change early draft options or bowl appearances for seniors.
THESE 2 IDIOTS GOT THE WHOLE STORY WRONG….GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU BLAB YOUR LIPS……THAT WOULD BE TO MUCH LIKE RIGHT AND WE ALL KNOW DISNEY IS A JOKE…ESPN IS GETTING READY TO CRASH JUST LIKE THE STOCK MARKET……. BUCKLE UP !!!!!!!
DELETED MY COMMENT???????COWARDS!!!!!!! JOKE!!!!!!
This sounds about Vegas lol.
I mean, he ain’t making it in nfl so get that money before career is iver
Pay the man. I don’t see finebaume foregoing his check and that nerd just writes. Never taken a hit in his life.
This not a NCAA issue
The NCAA signed a $8 billion dollar contract for college football. And they won't allow players to negotiate and sign contracts with their schools for fair financial compensation. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA, and forced them to pay student athletes thru NIL collectives.
Major college sports will eventually implode.
The school tried to say the deal was for $3k a month for 4 months. He’s a Northeastern kid who was going to a Northeastern school. He’s not gonna transfer to a school across the country for $12k.
College football is a sham
Absolutely disgusting
Power 5 schools like in the SEC are already getting ready to set a salary cap for it's college football programs. It's coming, whether NCAA purists like it or not. And when you add in merchandising, ticket sales, and even sponsorships with sports gambling that the "non-profit" NCAA organization is cashing in, you get an idea how much loyalty costs.
How stupid to not get it in writing! His fault imo
Let’s be honest he sucks I wouldn’t pay him either
Kid had paltry stats. Nothing lost. Next man up.
That brother would be welcome in a MI wolverines jersey
They literally scammed this kid..
