Ewers visiting TCU tomorrow…

[geefrogs]

Do any developmental leagues make money?

Minor league baseball?

Whatever the latest developmental scheme the NBA has?

Minor league hockey?

Maybe that'll make a takeover of college football by the NFL a tough sell. Who knows? Not me.

the NBA is playing chess. everyone else is still playing checkers.

How is his autograph worth anything right now? Unless you are a Southlake fan. Even then ...

It's worth as much as when he signed the deal.

How much are expenditures?

bro i have no idea. I just know its been around 20 years. Minor league baseball has been around 120 years and is a complete disaster.

Kittley is now at Tech, which if you wanna put up big numbers as a qb will have to be a draw for this kid.

He can come in, throw some crazy numbers and still get drafted even if they aren’t any good. Figure TCU is at the back of the pack for this guy.

Well they ran their first developmental league, the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), into the absolute ground. Or rather Isiah Thomas did, naturally. The CBA was kinda cool back in the day and people actually paid attention to it more than this G-League thing it seemed.

I think they run this one a bit better but who knows.

and on top of everything, he bleached his hair.

That’s a Southlake Dragon thing, the whole team looks like that this time of the year.

If you think $1 million at age 18 sets him up for the rest of his life, brother, you aint lived to be 90 yet.

The rumor was that it was $3 million.

After taxes, let's say that's $1.8 million. If he only earns 6% annually on that original investment of $1.8 million, he can take out $9,000 a month for the next 60 years. I guess he could live off of that. After age 79, well...there's always social security!

I think TCU should greet Quinn with the entire band and cheerleading squad when he arrives. Like full on marching band parade. And a list of potential endorsement deals that we are ready to fund.

So basically Johnny Be Good? Great movie by the way.

And that doesn't even take into consideration the new massive NIL deal/s he is about to receive.

The pregame prayer is hilarious.

Will he want to compete against this kid?

H.S.? Or College? College is at least a little forgivable, in that there is little loyalty flowing downhill at a Big Time Program unless you are paying the bills. And, he was not.

Ditching H.S. to chase the Big Money is just weird. I read up-thread of a $1.5 million contract, but what services does this entail? What are his rights and responsibilities? It's for damned sure they didn't just hand the kid a sackfull of money and say, "Hey kid, mention our name from time to time!" Granted, I am not a social media creature, and, in fact, avoid it all like the plague. Yet, even in that sphere, the kid was being paid to pimp a service or product, same as any mook on TV. If he never plays a down, what happens to the flow of money?

a number of kids have done this in other sports so why should he be viewed as different

 

[BedfordFrog68]

What's the story on why he's transferring from Ohio State? Did he get beat out and doesn't have immediate playing time potential? Or does he just want to move closer to home?

Cynically, I think he's made as much money as he will at OSU since he won't get much playing time, so transferring to a school where he could reestablish his NIL value is the attraction....

The only ones I know of are the blonde twins from LSU. Ye Gods!

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Did we let him dance with our dates today?

Michael J Fox playing it would be best.

There was a line between Pro and Amateur for a long time in American sport, as we played by the "rules" and nobody else bothered. Then that line was erased, and the rules have slowly evaporated. The last remnants of the old system have been swept away...

Don't think he's available....
