When was this? I dont remember anyone who wasnt paid when i was there.

If his degree is more important than the money, he can still go student route, go to Auburn get his degree and not be paid outside if the said graduation bonus. He can still go pro, gets his education, and all the other current benefits. Or if he would rather money, he can always take the cash and go to school after his football career.

If the league is run like a business with a draft option for the top talent introducing league minimums and a scholarship track for the less talented you can fix that. The draft guy can't transfer and can be cut. You can offer an incentive graduation bonus for the transfer option players and bar them from moving up to the paid tier even if through transfer.

Hell, the students who work for the AD are paid. From admin to coaching assistants to film, they are all paid at the big universities. The big schools also give the student assistants the same access to resources. I worked out with the team, saw the team doc, met with Dr Andrews, was able to get the team tutors, etc.

Auburn has a major dedicated to passing idiot athletes. Student athlete hasn't been a thing in your big sports for a while. Usually the ones with real degrees weren't your stars, starters, or studs. Add in the nearly infinite on demand resources given to athletes and even during the season there is no reason for issues.

The difference level of talent between then and now is crazy. Both in an Auburn to Auburn comparison as well as Auburn vs the rest.

Check out Mike Leaches idea. In all the chaos, it seems to be the best idea I e seen yet

Many here laughed and said never gonna happen over the last year when I've said it's inevitable.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34414293/college-football-playoff-board-discusses-possibility-potential-restructuring-how-college-football-governed-sources-say, The 11 college presidents and chancellors who make up the College Football Playoff's Board of Managers met via Zoom on Monday and began a discussion that could reshape the future of college sports, sources told ESPN. Multiple sources told ESPN that the Board of Managers briefly discussed the possibility of restructuring how college football is governed, with the idea presented of major college football potentially being governed outside of the NCAA. The most logical place for the sport to be run outside of the NCAA would be under the auspices of the CFP, which was discussed on the call. The CFP currently oversees the sport's postseason playoff and has contractual ties to other marquee postseason bowl games. Sources cautioned that these discussions are in such early stages that it could be considered the first steps of a complicated process that would resemble a marathon. The sources added that the group spoke about the idea for only about five minutes, as it was raised as something the group should think more about down the line.

We had 60% the last 2 years.

K guy

He is a 60% completion guy. He couldn't run. He was barely their best guy in 2020 and was 3rd in line this season before he quit. I watched his film with a D1 OC and QB coach when he entered the portal last year with the US potential of offering him. Idgaf what some random fan says. Especially since you own screenshot talks about him being strung along when better QBs were on the team.

This isn't a discussion about bo. Irrelevant and useless to the discussion on the ability of TJ. Especially considering that that same loser to USC Bo throughly beat TJ out of the starting job essentially twice last season. Both as opening day starter, then again after the Ga St fiasco. I'll speak no more of Bo in this discussion. He had 1 football injury and a fishing accident. He was talked out of transferring by Kelly. He wasn't some broken person who was a shell of his former glory. You're making excuses. Had he been in line to start he still plays for LSU. He quit because he lost the job. Finley wasn't competing with Brennan prior to his 2020 injury. He was competing for backup with Max Johnson now at TAMU. Brennan was the brightest in a box of 10 watt bulbs. As far as his lack of spring, he has 2 seasons of real game playing time and practice reps. Spring is very important but not near as much so as actually strapping it on. His issues are not ones which are fixed in spring ball.

He was behind Myles Brennan(4*) who has now quit football because he wasn't going to be the starter at LSU this year and split time with Max Johnson(4*) who transfered to TAMU He did not have to play behind anyone of quality, especially not a 5* at LSU. He was a freshman in 2020 so it's expected he wouldn't light up the world. Then last year we got a good look at a kid in his 2nd year of college look just as pedestrian as his time at LSU. TJ, as he has performed in games up to this point, is a career college backup.

Folks are anti TJ because they have seen him be a 2nd tier QB at 2 different schools now. If something clicks and it all comes together then he will show it and people will love him in the improved state. If it's the same ol TJ, we all know what we're getting and it isn't good. Just like the last few years when people decided to hate Bo the person and not Bo the QB, one can hope and pray TJ isn't our best option without any personal attacks.

If he goes the feelings route, this will be his last season.

I didn't say it never happens, just that it is rare.

The fix is simple. The big boys break off from the NCAA and form a league. Hell, even using the Leach plan would fix most of the issues.

A Diamond in the rough is being found. It's hard to be a quality player and not be known in today's age.

A 3* with a year or 2 of decent college film will almost always be taken over the 3* out of highschool.

IDT this does anything for the QB race. Not unless they are literally even, no difference at all. If he is the best chance to win, Harsin isn't going to not play him in a year when his neck is on the line.

It is no better or worse than those discussing the right if wrong of TJ running. That being said, I said what I said, and I have nothing more to add or to say about that.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
