OregonDucks No. 2 Share Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM (edited) This is getting ridiculous. Paying an unproven 17-18 year old $10M to come to your school? Edited Saturday at 07:34 PM by OregonDucks 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanLduck No. 3 Share Posted Saturday at 07:36 PM Moves like this are not good for anybody. Can't make the NFL too happy either. Remember, MSU was one of the first schools to sign a 10 year 95M coach contract. How'd that work out! What is wrong with this state?!? Brain freeze from the cold north winds? Oey vay! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is it might set the market for future top QB recruits. I would be surprised if Oregon’s collectives were willing to spend that much for an unproven high school recruit. Might as well get a proven veteran transfer QB. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 8 Share Posted Saturday at 10:42 PM Potential will get you fired. Look at Nico and Tennessee. Won't result in a firing, but that guy was not worth the money either. The question now becomes: will proven vet QBs start getting north of $3-4M? I'm not sold on that either quite frankly. I hope character still matters, and that OBD emphatically emphasizes that. Arch Manning was smart. He understood talent is only the beginning. You must grow into being a clutch QB in an elite conference. I believe our collective grasps that simple concept. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittDuck No. 9 Share Posted Saturday at 10:56 PM So you blow 10M on a QB, how much you gonna pay for an O-Line to keep him upright? How much for WRs & TEs to catch his passes? How much for RB to keep the heat off him? Then you gotta get a Defense, cause everybody knows the “Defenses Win Championships!” At what point does somebody rein this in? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone pay $10M for some HS kid when that will get you a Top 10 proven QB in the portal?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck Author No. 16 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:00 AM Oh, the good old days. Used to be a player would get in trouble if he got a job at a car dealership; now the player can buy the dealership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman60 No. 17 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:03 AM A couple questions; would said quarterback be allowed to go into the portal at some time? Would a coach be pressured to play a high paid kid? If they sign a 5 year deal would they have to stay at that school for the whole contract or be allowed to go into the draft? Do they sign sign multi year deals? All these questions and many more will need to be addressed or I see the system becoming more broken then it already is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 20 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:39 PM NIL isn't a salary and can never be capped. LeBron can only make so much in the NBA before running into a salary cap but can make whatever he can get from endorsement deals. NIL is the college equivalent to endorsements and not affiliated with membership on a team . Sure it's implied that NIL relates to playing for a school but there is no legal requirement to do so.
