Ewers visiting TCU tomorrow…
- Thread starter Moose Stuff
- Start date
The whole NIL situation is crazy enough, but it’s absolutely bonkers that anyone would even consider giving that kind of cash to a kid that hasn’t even demonstrated success at the college level yet.
Of course, NFL rookies are given big contracts without proving themselves at the next level yet, but it’s a little more predictable than coming out of HS. Just about every player on Ewers’s team in high school was better than every player on the other team. Also better training, better facilities, and better home lives than almost everyone they faced. I would be very hesitant putting so many eggs into a basket that has never once faced superior talent, at any level, at any position…

Because someday you might need a job after playing in the XFL.
The NFL is a business with a player draft, a players union with a negotiated agreement, salary minimums, salary caps, etc etc etc. This is entirely different.

That’s an interesting take. I thought he was really good on the SiriusXM radio show he did for a few years.
Unintelligent is the last way I would describe him. He was quite humble, too.

They do. NIL athletes at the top tier pay levels are maximizing retirement contributions if their financial advisor has 1/12th of a brain.

He's a kid. He gets to make his decisions and learn from them. I hope he finds his perfect landing place.

I guess we didn't offer him enough money.

there is that. My humble opinion is that money is involved with the decision. Could be wrong.

Money is 99% of the reason.
Don't underestimate just how much John Sellers and Cody Campbell want TT to be good at football...Don't know that we have anyone at TCU desperate enough to get into an arms race with those dudes and the biggest cigars at UT.

Going forward we do not need to be focused upon star athletes as much as upon building a strong base for our "new" team.

Fools Gold. Texas is going to do this just like they do everything else: Spend a [ Finebaum ]-ton of money(again) on the assumption(again) they can buy their way out of mediocrity. It's doomed to failure because, Texas. They will have the #1 payroll in CFB and will be a perennial .500 SEC team. Going to be delicious to watch, once the reality of it all sinks in and the big cheese donors begin to wonder where all their money went.
