NIL hot talk
Comments

They are still talking down NIL.Former Alabama Crimson Tide players under Nick Saban have gone on to earn $1.94 billion.
Name, image, likeness (NIL) may have changed the game, but if you want a career in the NFL you still go to Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban has dominated college football over the last decade, especially when it comes to the NFL draft. -
I will go to my grave thinking that paying the kids now is fucking twash and shit as fuck.
But if we have no choice have but to pay the poor, exploited little shits, can we, at least, try and pay them like the NFL does- i.e., some sort of salary cap and only the kids who are good get checks? Think of what Sam Huard should have been paid coming out of HS. Christ. -
Mario Baily is over Jimmy apparently. The change the culture shot
Welcome back Stan Emptermann

>50% chance that that poor ass state is funneling public dollars to an NIL collective because their fans are too poor to come up with $20M every year instead of the traditional $2M. If Mississippi politicians tried to do this for shit ass Southern Miss and limp dick Brett Favre, my imagination runs wild in the shithole that is Alabama.
But still, there are limits, hence the poors in Bama needing to sell the future contract $s still. -

1861. The year the SEC "left" so they didn't have to start paying the kids.

Derek can confirm, but Mario racebaiting Husky fans that thought Jimmy should be canned for the Montana loss is what brought me to the boreds. How tim changesRaceBannon said:Mario Baily is over Jimmy apparently. The change the culture shot

I will give Mario a pass this one time. He was a great player and a big supporter. Besides it’s not like he killed anyone.

I wonder if he’d ever identify Willingham as that guy.RaceBannon said:

I don't remember...was there a sense that Sark wasn't welcoming to former players? I really don't remember but it wouldn't surprise me. I could see his ego getting in the way.dannarc said:Sarkingham

I remember Empterman being the Husky legend at halftime during the willingham era. It was apparent UW was going to lose the game. Don't remember the opponent, but it was probably 06/07 season. I was standing next to him on the field. He was supremely unhappy that the school had dragged him out there for that bullshit. Don't blame him. But always stuck with me. Would be fun to see a happy Empterman around the program.

Here's the thing with NIL that NOBODY talks about ...
The more that a University's AD can fund their entire funding through media rights, advertising, and ticket sales ... the more that donors can contribute to NIL collectives to "fund" the program's players (at least until players become school employees - which is coming).
But in the interim ... the above is the path forward.
Problem is that Jen runs the UW AD fat and as a result with UW's cash flows it becomes effectively a double ask for donors to fund both the programs on the whole AND NIL. -
Friend of a friend is buddies with Empterman, still Iives out in Cheney if I’m not mistaken.
He was a huge CP fan, but did not take to Sark or Willingham, and I’m sure he wasn’t thrilled with Jimmy after losing to Montana.
He’s an interesting dude from what I’m told, still runs some local camps but not under his own name. Also has a massive farm. He’s good friends with Best at EWU and has helped out at their camps in the past, would be great to see him involved in UW football in a bigger capacity no doubt. Out in Spokane he’s almost a Mythical Football God, not many people have got to meet him and if they did they probably wouldn’t even know it. -
As someone who has been called racist multiple times because I publicly criticized a terrible football coach, having Mario imply that people who didn't feel Lake was a good fit were racist was highly disappointing. What disappointed me the most was that Mario didn't even have the courage to say it outright. He put it out there just enough but then acted like he was above such talk. It was terribly disappointing.FireTheJanitor said:

But no, he didn't kill anybody. I'm glad he's supporting DeBoer. -
I told the story a few years ago but one day during the Sark era I was talking to Emtman. I haven't talked to him in years, but this was in 2013 I think. I mentioned that I was disappointed in Sark's House Money comment. Steve was like, " What? He COULDN'T have said that." I was like au contraire and texted or emailed him a link. He read it and said something like HOLY SHIT. THAT MOTHERFUCKER.theLSkid said:Friend of a friend is buddies with Empterman, still Iives out in Cheney if I’m not mistaken.

What was the shitty bowl game at the end of Sark? Fight Hunger against the Mormons in a baseball stadium in SF.
Anyway, I grab a beer and walking back to my seat when I saw Emptman and what looked like 2 other former players. The only thing I could manage to say in my drunken stupor was “holy shit, it’s Steve Emptman”

Which Sark didn't corch in. I can't remember whether it was reported or rumored, but Wilcox shouting "Eight wins!" leaving the field after. Lulz. They had radar ears.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:What was the shitty bowl game at the end of Sark? Fight Hunger against the Mormons in a baseball stadium in SF.

Emtman was friends with my landlord in the mid 2000s. I saw him a couple times...never talked to him, I think I was in a hurry to get to work or something
cool story, Bill -
