DanLduck No. 1 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I've heard that is a saying in the SEC. I've also heard that Texas A&M coach said that NIL has been around for a long time, only now its legal! I'm seeing some hesitancy in new coaching hires by Lanning. Worries that infractions may occur. So what. If Texas can pay Olineman $50k/year, anything goes. We want a Natty, at any cost. Right? So, let's get to it! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 2 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I too feel the change in CFB is not for the best. But change is inevitable. Buckle up and play to win is my motto. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KingT No. 3 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Fair point. The sooner we all admit that the college football most of us grew up with is no longer -- the game has changed and we better keep up or pack up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyToBeADuck No. 5 Share Posted December 28, 2021 For certain the burden of the rule book has been lifted. Especially for boosters. Just bring a good proposal that entices players. Coaches and administrations will have their arms wide open. Can't you feel the love. All warm and fuzzy. Whatever under the table deals were done in the past, we may never know about. Doesn't matter, the future of football is upon us. If there were any prior shenanigans at Alabama, Georgia or Memphis, well Coach Lanning may have learned a few tricks. Glad he would no longer have to hide any. Here's wishing Coach Lanning has learned the best from those coaching staffs about....... Player development In game coaching adjustments Building a CFP worthy team that all Duck fans can be proud of. Go Ducks...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 6 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Integrity matters. Usually I blather on about subjects. This time I just want to say I don't want my University tarnished going after that elusive title. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDuck No. 8 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Bringing in Klemm and Lupoi is a definite signal from Lanning that we will henceforth have an SEC mentality. I’m not certain that’s a good direction to go. However, it does fit nicely with “If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.” 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer No. 13 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Many of the star players in college football have received under the table compensation in the past. University of Washington running back Hugh McElhenny once claimed that he took a cut in pay when he went to the pros. Granted the pro game is much more lucrative now but you are naive if you don’t think this has gone on at all programs in some form or another. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
