Utah Player Offered 1 Million To Leave Utes

I'm taking the million.
 
I read this as Utah was wanting to pay someone 1 million to leave their own team. Which got me thinking, wish we could have gone back to pay Cullen Harper a milli to leave before the 2008 season.

1. NIL offers aren't allowed to come from the schools.

2. Limit the number of times a player can enter the portal. No point in someone offering NIL money if the kid can't transfer.

3. A player shouldn't be allowed to be contacted if he's not in the portal, but I'm not sure how you police that.

^^ THIS ^^
 
I wonder if a player had to pay back money if they leave as it relates to a school or local booster if they would still agree.
if they brand themselves no problem. big brand no problem.
local restaurant or dealership gotta pay back.

we got the player we wanted from the portal Jaheel Billingsly

Bama needed to replace him, thus the TE offer to Utah

What if you never have any Heisman candidates like Michigan State?

Or why he would tell anyone.

Take the money. Fuck the schools, they’ve been making money on free labor for decades.

Utah AD Says Player Was Offered $1 Million To Transfer

A member of the Utah Utes was allegedly offered $1 million to transfer. Who was the player? Did he leave the team?

“We had a player who was offered, I believe, about a million dollars to pull him over to another team. I called that AD and had a discussion, right? And he’s frustrated. Everybody’s frustrated. Because this was a friend, it was a friendly call. It was just to say, ‘Listen, it happened.’ My colleague was—embarrassed is not the right word, but he was frustrated,” athletic director Mark Harlan explained to Sports Illustrated.

It’s noted the player did not leave Utah.


Ok so no one is shocked by this and everyone suspected this type of stuff was going and the truth is it is only going to get worse. The only way to fix what has happened is to literally put all the players under contract and pay them a set salary and each team has a cap. We've created a system where top players are going to put themselves in the portal every year in order to get offers. College football has created a system that has unlimited free agency with no salary cap and that isn't substainable.

It's sad that we have gotten to this point.

You mean to tell me that NIL in an unrestricted form has some serious negative consequences? Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Good question. The next organization won’t be able to enforce rules either…imho.

Genie’s out of the bottle and that sucker doesn’t want to go back in that dark and smelly place.

That may be something to look at too. From what I can tell, the collectives are basically a way for the school to make an offer without the school making an offer.
