A smart coaches view of the NIL

[oldhorn2]

I am not sure where to put this so I start its own topic......Jeff Traylor is going to do quite well. We liked him when he was here and he has UTSA doing very well. I heard him interviewed and he said this about the NIL......He has counceled all his players to be sure and explore all the tax angles of this because they could quickly get into trouble with taxes if they have not done due diligence tax planning. Then he told his team to be aware of how the NIL payments affect the team as a whole. He said if the star players become prima Donnas over the other players it could be a problem. He said he told them to remember that the guys blocking for them might not even be getting payments. He said nothing could shatter a locker room quicker.

Right then I remembered why he is thought of as a players coach. I only hope our coaches are bright and aware enough to have had that same talk with our team.

I think this whole NIL stuff is bad for college football.  Players are now open to harsh criticism for their play; same as professional players because NIL college players are now professionals.
 

More pressure to compete on a high level for a longer time.  More distractions from actually being a college student.  More temptation to make bad decisions regarding your career and reputation.

Somewhere, right now, Rhett Bomar has gotta be pissed off with the NIL Rules. *smh*

Bijan is apparently looping in the OL on his Pinkerton BBQ deal and a shoe deal. Smart kid right there!
