    Caleb Williams (Okla): Is this portal insanity or playing the NIL field?

    The frosh OK QB that replaced Rattler is now in the portal. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/caleb-williams-enters-transfer-portal-oklahoma-star-qb-exploring-options-after-standout-freshman-season/ I can see this really angering fans, especially if it becomes a trend. It is one...

    Anyone seen the A&M NIL rumors?

    The schools are still not-for-profit. They don't distribute earnings to shareholders. Not-for-profit does not mean you can't make money. You just need a tax exempt purpose to qualify. What the IRS has contemplated is making certain donations and payments non deductible. (I think they were...

    Anyone seen the A&M NIL rumors?

    NIL $$ goes to the individual, not the school. If I donated $10K to Garnet Trust in the past, it was divvied up to benefit all student athletes. As one comment above indicates, some boosters would rather affect one or two male sports. So I take my $10K and put it in a pot with other boosters...

    Anyone seen the A&M NIL rumors?

    Sure, but that money would be divided up amongst the various sports. While that is a good thing, I'm not sure it is what many boosters want. If you want to land the number 1 football recruiting class, you don't send $$ to the equestrian team or to women's tennis. "Donors" will now be able to...

    Oh snap! Get'm Coach!

    There must be some nervous people on this board if Coach Beamer is going to start calling out the haters.

    Shawn Elliott

    That 1-5 run was a good time, wasn't it? Muschamp came in and won 6 games the next year and some people here think Elliott could have done better? This is one schizo group.

    Rutgers in?

    So if we had lost one more game, we maybe could have gone to the Gator? Fire Ray Tanner now!!

    TAMU out of Gator Bowl

    Gator Bowl is looking for an opponent. Short flight b/w Charlotte and J-Ville. Would be epic.

    TAMU out of Gator Bowl

    What about letting them decide whether to play and keep them in a bubble afterwards. That should address the "spreading" concerns. Has any CFB player become seriously ill after being vaccinated? I know there were a couple in the early days and I think a HS player died. So I'm not trying to...

    So Barham's High School Coach Called Beamer a Liar

    Seriously. May be some serious NIL $$ involved, which is cool now. No good football reason why you would choose Maryland over any SEC team. But we may have dodged a bullet. If the kid approaches relationships this way, he does not fit the culture that Beamer is building here.

    Rumor is that Spencer Rattler is on campus.

    But can't someone now pay him $15,000 for his autograph or for a selfie. I doubt anyone is on their own dime anymore. Maybe school can't foot the bill.

    Beamer's recruiting is killing the haters here....

    You might be on to a really cool business idea. Portal stars. Like HS stars but with some benefit of what they have done so far. An old 5 star may drop, and a 3 star might rise. Good idea.

    So, former Oregon players tried the same " hire this guy, he's one of ours" we tried successfully. It did not work.

    We also need to change our perspective on the whole player coach thing. Back in the old days, you didn't give a crap what the players thought after they signed a letter of intent. Conform or quit and play nowhere. Coaches knew what they were doing and players didn't know squat. We're not in...

    Mike Leach talking my language

    And this is why players rightfully conclude that many (maybe most) fans don't care about the players as people. Bowl games are a reward for players. They love them. And its an opportunity for more players to get reps as the coaches assess needs and the portal/recruitment strategy. For...
