Similar to that Bama receiver. He didn't want to go there and all of a sudden it was "we pulled his offer".To be fair, the hawks think that about everyone
There's a definite psychological difference between being paid hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars when your teammate makes more and being paid nothing while your teammate makes a lot of money.Somehow pro sports make it work without jealousy becoming a huge locker room issue (maybe I'm wrong about that and just don't hear the stories?) College aged kids aren't as mature though, so not surprising it would be a bigger issue there.
I mean everyone gets paid and it's a professional business environment that has collective bargaining. Very different from "amateur" sports with absolutely no rules.Somehow pro sports make it work without jealousy becoming a huge locker room issue (maybe I'm wrong about that and just don't hear the stories?)

Correct. I mean imagine going to work, which we all now know and acknowledge college sports are a job, and you don’t get paid while some members on your team are getting paid. Seriously that would piss anyone off. Especially when you do work that contributes to the team’s success and those that are getting paid.There's a definite psychological difference between being paid hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars when your teammate makes more and being paid nothing while your teammate makes a lot of money.
I selfishly really enjoy hearing stories like this. I want total chaos, destruction, boosters losing alot of money, and players infighting in the locker room.You have to pay the entire team in some fashion or it will eventually crumble.
Exactly. How would it feel to be an upperclassman O lineman at Iowa and some backup Michigan QB comes in and gets 6 figures to your $0? This isn't a shot at Iowa, it just happens to be a good example. Plus he seems to be good at shooting his mouth off a little bit. So maybe it is a shot at Iowa.In the pros they are all getting paid. That’s the difference. Hell even league minimum is nothing to sneeze at for playing a game for a living.
reminds me of this tweet I saw last nightI selfishly really enjoy hearing stories like this. I want total chaos, destruction, boosters losing alot of money, and players infighting in the locker room.
Burn it all down.
I thought foreign guys couldn't get NIL deals? What's the exact rules with that?Would be a little surprised if Fardaws returns to play college basketball next year. He's almost 24 years old and a foreign guy. Likely could go start making money professionally. Not sure what he has to gain by coming back.
This was the guy that Mad Fran wanted bad?Fardaws Aimaq will be transferring from Texas Tech.
I'm guessing this will get brought up every time someone transfers now - but this may be relevant:
That's a good point. I've seen this in reference to Jaz a few times. This could get really interesting. I'm sure no schools would be paying foreign athletes NIL money under the table though. That would never happen.I thought foreign guys couldn't get NIL deals? What's the exact rules with that?
Don't show this to Tre King
True. You have one guy getting paid $40mill and another getting the like $600k though.I mean everyone gets paid and it's a professional business environment that has collective bargaining. Very different from "amateur" sports with absolutely no rules.
Everyone in college gets paid. You're right, though, getting tuition + room/board + stipends is not the same as $600k or whatever the league minimum is plus all the other benefits that comes with being a pro athlete.In the pros they are all getting paid. That’s the difference. Hell even league minimum is nothing to sneeze at for playing a game for a living.
