penguin149 391 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Not sad to see this….we REALLY need a bowl win!! Of, AU has a tendency to make a backup QB look like a Heisman hopeful!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,331 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Bizarre. He isn’t expected to be drafted. What’s the benefit of opting out of possibly his last chance to see the field? I’ll take it though. Should be an easier game without him. Edited December 19, 2023 by ScotsAU 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigeraddikt 1,610 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Not sure how this doesn’t swing things wildly in AU’s favor. I felt good before about running it down MD’s throats, but now, without their forever starting QB to keep things interesting, I think MD will kinda roll over after getting shoved around for a while. Just a guess, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 7,852 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Generally speaking, I wonder if programs will start addressing bowl games in one year NIL contracts. Or if they already are? If I pay for a guy to play for one season, I want him for the bowl game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get paid, you don’t owe it back. Not a lawyer and no Holiday Inn last night. Donate at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he was still on the team, attending meetings and practices, etc. When you opt out of the bowl game, you are essentially leaving the team before the season is over. Player's decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great point as most other NIL points similar to that are as well. Coaches’ decision. Players’ decision. Would become a he said / they said. If they (Universities) want lawyers filing against them, start claiming that players owe money back. Would not be a good look. And how’s that going to look to future recruit prospects? Law suits are a reason why the transfer rule had its collar loosened. NCAA hit the eject button. Edited December 27, 2023 by Viper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how’s that going to look to future recruit prospects? Law suits are a reason why the transfer rule had its collar loosened. NCAA hit the eject button. Why not structure a NIL contract to pay out a certain amount of money for regular season games and a separate amount of money for the bowl game. If you don't play the bowl game, you don't get paid for it. Would also include a clause that if the player walks out on the team during the season, they don't get paid. Seems fair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a lawyer here, but my understanding is that some of the NILs are already strengthening the clauses in the agreements. So in the near future it may be more than them claiming that the athlete owes money, it may be in an enforceable and signed contract. It would be ugly for both sides. Headed to a nasty showdown I’m afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly don't know how the payments work. Maybe they are already getting monthly NIL payments that would cease early if they opt out of the bowl game. Just thought it was another interesting wrinkle to this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will still be others elsewhere opting out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
