When was that EVER an argument?


Dude, CFB has ALWAYS been this way! Its just now the numbers are out in the open. Do you really think that many players wanted by choice to just play for a team in Tuscaloosa, AL!?! An amazing education isn't luring kids to Norman, OK or Eugene, OR. You can't think top 10 out of state players just had so much love for OSU. Money has ALWAYS been in play. And the fact that it was done in the shadows and can't be 100% proven was the goal. These kids deserve every dime they get and then some! If we ever thought these were truly student athletes then they wouldn't be playing in 60-100k coliseums, with every amenity known to man kind. Even before NIL, these kids played in better environments than some of their NFL counterparts. A guy like Joe Burrow is playing in front of less people now than when he was in college. If you couldn't take college seriously now, then why would you have ever taken it seriously? These guys were always contractors, its just that fans were happy with being blissfully ignorant and acting like Player X signed with their school out of pure love and wanted an education from that institution :confused: Its like people wanted to read the article about The Bagman and wanted to play sanctimonious like it wasn't ever going to be their program who paid for players, only those degenerates in the south :roll1:
PAWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLL!

He was about all they had that fateful eve... ill give him credit for some toughness too. But, I agree with the sentiment here. Figure including osu is for negotiating purposes. Guess maybe he thinks he's proven more than that kid going to scUM. What's his name... that guy
I dunno if it's toughness vs being blasted so hard he didn't realize the game was still going on.

So, was at the Total Wine and More to pick up some cocktails for the room. Ton’s of baby-shit orange in the store, so may opportunities to ask. The person I talked to confirmed everything that we’re hearing is what they are hearing as well. The speculation among them is that it’s either pay me or I’m going back west to play.

The person I talked to was a bit indifferent about him. He said that another couple of million dollars spent on a kid who didn’t live up to what he as paid last year would be bad business. I don’t disagree.

All I know is that I’m glad it ain’t us… and for as easy as it would be for it to be us some day, I’m not going to wish anything on anyone for Karma’s sake.
