I have no hate for the kid. Key word...kid. His mom is the problem. I wouldn't want to be hated for every dumb decision I made as a college aged kid with a lot of money in front of me. I live in NC and hate the Panthers, but hold no I'll will long term for ETN. Justice was served in the Notre Dame game. Moving on.
Just FYI…most folks believe UGA comes in low in the NIL market. Lost 5*’s recently to Texas and it seemed money was the deciding factor. OSU bought a championship last year. Everybody pays but consensus is UGA isn’t a top bidder. ETN clearly had a bone to pick with UF and went to the school with a chance to win a Natty AND stick it to his old team. Didn’t work out for him - injured and pretty much a non-factor. Who knows (or cares) about about Rashada? Another case of hurt feelings/monetary issues?
NIL money is important but there is a balance. If you get a chance, listen to Tom Brady's comments on NIL from the Joel Klatt podcast a few days ago. What Billy is doing is the right way and aligns perfectly with what Brady was preaching. It just reinforces the process we have going on.
The Jack Pyburn defection to LSU really stings. He's a Jacksonville kid, everyone thought he bled orange and blue! Now he's Gatorbait!
