It was posted by the GA Insider reporter that QB Carson Beck is asking for $4 million in NIL to return. If true, then NIL has jumped the shark with multiple high profile qbs all making or asking for the same range of money. Allegedly. Might as well just form a NFL minor league and call a spade a spade.

If we can pay a HC $76MM to leave, we can afford to buy a QB for $4MM.

The only word I believe is "allegedly."

Then let's end all the fake trappings of studentship. Let a university keep around their 30 year old journeyman QB for as long as both find the arrangements workable.

Extortion?

smart business man (kid)

Beck is not worth that money. Georgia would be smart to let him leave and then get their pick of the top transfer QBs.

They should stop pretending student athletes have any association to the student part and just make it a minor league for the nfl.

Unbelievable, meanwhile Brock Purdy out here making $900,000. These college kids are thieves and who ever is willing to pay that is dumb.

If Raiola is as good as advertised, they can save the money.

I don't know numbers but the eye test told me he's not that special. Tremendous surrounding cast.

Yep. No need for them to even sign up for classes. Look at the savings on unused textbooks and supplies.

So if he doesn't get the 4 mil what happens next...

I would guess he enters portal. If he doesn't get it from someone else, then he enters NFL draft.

Did you guys hear that The Ginger and Carson Beck f***ed an ostrich?

Allegedly

Who could have seen this coming?

NIL was/is a terrible idea without any structure or limitations. Combined with the wide-open portal, it's a disaster.

It's been that way for decades.

The days of Johnny having to sign autographs and lie about it are all over.

Probably straight to the draft , he is worth more to Georgia than anybody else. UGa not in the playoff so he's trying to get paid for the bowl game and to come back one more year

On a related note the Ags should have used some NIL money and figured a way to get some of the maroon goons to play one more year iirc because of Covid exception they all had eligibility

One more of Jimbo's poor decisions

I don't think you understand what "jumped the shark" means. It may have reached a silliness point where you won't pay any attention, but most people are going to continue watching. This is just getting started.

Didn't tu pay Ewers similar money?

. Yes. Allegedly.

If he got drafted today, would he command that salary?

QB transfer from Wash St. better upside (betting he lands at tOSU). Beck looks like he should be in Deliverance, but definitely not worth it. Ewers is overpaid, but tOSU wishes they ponied up now.

There have been some posts that Marvin Harrison Jr. wants $10M.

If all true (or even a small amout of it), CFB is done (if not already). Even if bag men before under the table, no CF player was making millions per year for any of this.

I mean do these guys even still need to go to class and keep their grades up?

What were A&Ms football revenues last year?

In the NFL, players get 48% of revenues (with QBs taking by far the biggest share)

. I used the phrased properly. I follow my Horns through thick and thin because I have an affinity for things connected to the school I attended. I met my wife there, lots of memories associated with my youth, etc. The moment I feel like the players are all mercenaries and don't care about my alma mater, and I am close to that, I'll just find other things to do. I don't really follow the NFL. This is feeling too much like a perverse version of the NFL with no salary cap to maintain competition.

This NIL crap......A fool and his money are soon parted

At what point does it end

Texas has been paying lots of player plenty of money for decades. This system just changes the mechanism.

The NFL isn't having to fund the NBA, MLB, WNBA, Team USA Olympic sports, etc. Football revenue in college funds almost every other sport on campus.

Who is footing the bill for this stuff? I love A&M football but I'm not giving these kids a dime

Elite players are/will be making more money than their position coaches.

The guy lost to a freshman QB and now wants big bucks. Win something first.

What a dbag.
