Brock Morris is playing a lover’s game with the follow but don’t contact strategy. Make her come to you. Brilliant.

I guess it does just say “including” lol

Instant want.

We could do a lot worse than this guy. Never ceases to amaze how many good — or at least serviceable players — are available.

I’ve asked around enough to be confident that the mystery player is real. I do not know who he is and have sent out the attack dogs @StoopsBros with all that I know. Pretty sure everyone is being coy because it’s a delicate situation and sort of a long shot.

And I do not know if that’s who Trae is referring to but I admittedly haven’t listened to the interview yet.

Cooper Flagg one year in the Midwest

All these players who should, by all rights, be perfectly happy where there are (there are exceptions, of course) being convinced by "agents," family and/or friends (or their own misguided conviction that surely the grass is greener out there, right?) chasing bags year after year, establishing no roots, no loyalties, no enduring communities and probably receiving half-assed educations while they're at it.

Yes, I know that some student-athletes never did care about the education but many did, and how strong an education can one receive if you're at a different school every year?

How many people in America have deep “roots” or feelings of loyalty to their old college? How many people make it a point to attend reunions or stay in touch with classmates or professors? Some do, sure, but not many. I don’t think most of these guys are going to miss out on any amazing life experience if they transfer, make more money, and give themselves a nice nest egg before they are done with basketball.

not all that impressed with the Twitters that say : scored 13 points against ranked or "name" team.

We will eventually need contracts in some way. Maybe give both sides ways to exit but there needs to be contracts agreed to by both sides.

Can’t make players sign contracts when you are going to continue to claim they aren’t employees.

"Contractors" sign contracts with companies/employers all the time. There has to be a fix for this. The current status isn't sustainable.

They aren't employees...never have been. That idea is dumb. I know you didn't invent the idea and I'm not calling you dumb....but this is a ludicrous idea.

 

[cowboysooner]

There many issues, but wichita is exact right. The red line for colkeges is the unwillingness to make the kids employees. Millions reasons this is a non negotiable.

As a non employee can’t do contracts and ncaa rules prohibit linking nil deals to a specific university. They all do it on a handshake but unenforceable. This open lie and fantasy that kidd aren’t being paid to play is the root of countless problems and every court loss by the ncaa.

One of the primary benefit of the house settlement is the schools will be able to directly contract and pay kids. These contracts for rev share will have breach provisions and non compete clauses for the year. This won’t solve all the issues but prevent year round free agency. For example this would prevent the Tennessee nico situation. Then if you eliminate the spring pirtal except for graduates. Colleges can live with things. If they can also get the clearing house deal on nil. They are good. In my legal opinion it will never stand attack.

In the end, the only real answer is federal legislation. I would think the survival of college athletics at the expense of limiting kids income a little related to their time in college could be sold to most folks with even a little common sense. Naturally that leaves out virtually every political

If you could renegotiate your salary based on market value every year, wouldn’t you do that? For you and your family? If someone is willing to pay you more, it’s definitely worth considering. I don’t blame the players. It’s the adults running the system that have screwed it all up with their own greed. All the adults do it and you’re lamenting 18 yr olds that are following their example? SMH.
