With that being said, we're all a bunch of whores.

Is this all legal now? It used to be called tampering. I was under the impression that one had to be in the portal to be contacted. Maybe I’m wrong.
Lolololol

there are no fucking rules anymore. This shit is the wild fucking west. It is 1000% more fucked up than people even realize. It is one smalllllllllll step away from having a dedicated group of young college girls that fuck recruits when they come from visits. The entirety of college football is a whore house at this point

Jacobs would suck, but our D was pretty damn good without him for most of the year. Get Benson to come back, plug in Higgins, and add Kueter, and we're fine.

Why the fuck would Benson come back? He'll be drafted somewhere in the 4th-5th round and probably be about as good as Niemann or Hitchens.

The D was good in large part because it had the best linebacker in college football. HHH Jr. is good, but Jack Campbell he is not.

The greatest sport in the world is being completely ruined right before our eyes.

What an absolute fucking joke all of this is.

And all of this is supposed to be paid for by the fans/boosters while the universities themselves get billions?

"Oh, we can't contribute to the buying of players. It's against the rules."

While generous, and very supportive….they’re good people; with character and dignity. These wars are being fought with/amongst people who don’t have a shred of either.
The unfortunate reality is there are battles going on with schools whom, to use my analogy above, the head coach has a roster of a dozen 10’s….and can pick up the phone and say “come fuck this recruit.” They don’t ask questions, they just ask for the address and get dressed

I'm with you Stink, this entire NIL thing is fucking garbage and I laugh at anyone who give a penny to these players or the NIL. No fucking chance I would waste a dime on them while the University reaps literal billions now.

Again, the NCAA or whatever thing they are going to form together has to figure this out quickly. It has to be organized like a true pro sports league now. Players unionize, salary caps, collectively bargained benefits, rules on free agency, etc....

If they don't do that and quick this will be the new norm. It will be rent-a-team every single year.

College football and men's basketball need to lose their non-profit status so they're actually run like businesses.

This will require congress and the SCOTUS to acknowledge that football is more valuable than women's lacrosse, which is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Title IX is fine if you remove men's football/basketball from the equation, its absurd that we're still trying to pretend all college athletes are equal and that men's football/basketball programs are non-profit enterprises.

Where’s Campbell projected to be drafted? 3rd round? 3rd round salary is around $800-$900k. Booster pays him $1 million and you have your 2023 starting middle linebacker.

I mean.... that isn't the worst plan. You are in the thread with the NIL guy. Find $1m for Captain Jack and get it done.

Well he’s being pretty cryptic about everything but I get the sense that it is something that is actually being looked at.

Also true, but I can't remember the last time we weren't at least above-average at MLB, outside of Dillon Doyle playing Wisconsin 2 years too early and Amani Jones being dumb as a box of rocks.

Even Jack Hockaday was serviceable.

He’s going higher than that.

But hey, if you want to pay him to stay, I’m here for it

What happened to the last 3 or so years of recruiting at LB? I thought Sharar was supposedly pretty decent. Then there's Sullivan, Harrel, and Twedt. Do they all suck?

Unless you are in the running for the national title will bowl games even be worth much with everyone jumping ship.....I don't care if our second and third team beats someone else's second or third team.

Literally everyone you just listed only finished their second year on campus.

They have Jack Campbell and Seth Benson playing in front of them.

To actually answer your question, there's been plenty of buzz on Sharar, Twedt, and especially Harrel. Sullivan idk, but he might always have been destined for a move down to DE.

The only thing I’d be more concerned about iowa developing than good linebackers for their system, is defensive backs.

I have heard/read zero buzz on Harrell. I don't think he's fast/quick enough to ever be an LB and if I was going to guess, he'd be the one moving to DE.
