Either way, it's an ugly look.

Won't be surprised if, in a few years, this kid and the Rashada kid are filing for bankruptcy because their advisors took everything and ran when the money train stops.

Can you imagine this board if we had a Nico Iamaleava situation? [LINK] - Curly1918 - 4:50pm 4/14/25 (28) [View All]
- Funny how the kids are getting the negative wrap when college's took Billions a year for decades. - oldirish - 8:36pm 4/14/25
  - A guy who finished well outside the Top 20 statistically wants $4MM. - jakers - 8:02pm 4/15/25
    - He wants to set the market for a top 25 QB, maybe top 5 will want 8 million for 13 games [NT] - holybull101 - 9:12pm 4/15/25
  - Absolutely. I'm less sympathetic to non-FB sports, but football is brutal. Get paid youngsters. [NT] - LanceManion - 3:25pm 4/15/25

  - Truth. And they getting HIT [NT] - KWIRISH - 3:42am 4/15/25
  - This ^^^^^ [NT] - NDQuebec - 11:08pm 4/14/25
- That’s a really poorly drafted NIL contract if it didn’t include the possibility of playoff games. - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 7:06pm 4/14/25
  - How would this contract be enforced against the player? - Curly1918 - 7:38pm 4/14/25
    - Hmm. Fundamental question: can the contract go beyond name, image and likeness. - NedoftheHill - 8:07pm 4/14/25
  - Exactly. Weird, huh? Imagine an NFL contract not contemplating the playoffs/Super Bowl. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:29pm 4/14/25
- Congress needs to fix this now. - AlbanyIRISH - 5:57pm 4/14/25
  - They should be able to fix this without government control or "help". [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 7:21pm 4/14/25
    - Seems the only impetus to really fix this will be when it starts to fail to the point that it hurts - TakethetrainKnute - 4:19pm 4/16/25
  - Delete. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 7:20pm 4/14/25
  - why should the govt get involved? [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 6:57pm 4/14/25
    - Agreed. They can't fix their own budget, nor anyone else's. But... they do know how to waste $$ [NT] - oldirish - 8:37pm 4/14/25
  - Some rules would help. A complete set of rules would be best. - ndphysics - 6:07pm 4/14/25
    - NCAA can't do it because the courts won't let them. That's how this all started. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:19pm 4/14/25
      - So we either need a collective agreement between 2 parties or some legislation which sounds silly. [NT] - ndphysics - 7:57pm 4/14/25
        I think that is right. Anti-trust exception/collective bargaining....? - NedoftheHill - 8:15pm 4/14/25
        Either way the whole free agent go to the highest bidder each season shit needs - ndphysics - 11:24pm 4/14/25
        The NIL folks need to stop it by contract. - NedoftheHill - 4:29am 4/15/25
        "Nico Iamaleava signed a four-year deal worth $8 million with Spyre Sports Group, the NIL collective - TakethetrainKnute - 8:22pm 4/15/25
        I get the holding out part but should not be able to walk away and sign - ndphysics - 9:44pm 4/15/25
        I agree. The party you contract with has to be compensated if you take your services elsewhere. - TakethetrainKnute - 10:14pm 4/15/25
- If he were a superstar, the consensus would have been to pay him - ndunabomber - 5:27pm 4/14/25
- One man's leverage is another man's BS. This can all be addressed through contracts. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:07pm 4/14/25
