If they have NFL aspirations, they won't think they are giving up playing time at their new school. Those 2 thoughts probably would never coincide in a person's mind.
Is this hypothetical or do you think any of the transfers to Penn State have almost no chance to play again?
Blum might know for sure, but I'm guessing the payments these athlete's receive are getting taxes withheld.
If they’re not employees how would that happen? Maybe it does - could be wrong - but I don’t know how that would work.
I see you’re not a true fan then. This is how you treat the greatest coach who elevated our program for 10 years? What more do you want?
Couldn't agree more. That is exactly how Matt felt about his own players who entered the portal. Well, Matt chose to enter the college coach's portal, so why should we feel any differently about him?
Huh? It os clearly my take if I would take an extra couple hundred thousand to sit on the bench.
Well…at one point Universities were supposed to help people create a better life and future for themselves…
I’m sure there are people on staff they can go to with questions if it makes you feel better.
These players also have agents and while it’s cockeyed optimism that they should be doing their job, they should be instructing these kids.
This. All the hand wringing over whether or not these young adults know how to pay taxes is silly. It's as if no other young person has ever gotten paid before. I promise everyone, these are not the first group of young people who have gotten lots of money before and they won't be the last. Most will figure it out, some won't. Whatever. They are adults and it's none of our business how they handle their money.
To be quite honest, CMC made his bed in 'how' he left. I'll never forget the adage: "One f**k up, erases a thousand attaboys" On paper, you're exactly right. He elevated the program to unprecedented levels. But, it was the unified effort of several elements from AD, to staff, to fans.
A player might choose to be a featured player at their position rather than being slotted as a reserve at a "better" school especially if they're a senior.
