Too much wild Wild West in nil.

Too much wild Wild West in nil.

Was it Wild West when coaches leave midseason?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Wait, so did he start playing before signing a contract or something? Promises mean next to nothing without a wet signature.

Nice seeing Kessler get smacked back to reality, as always seems to happen to him.

How often does that happen? It's usually in bowl season or close to it.

I think we see the shift coming here though. However, it's only a matter of time before the WNBA can catch up enough in pay to get enough talent to leave early.

NFL recruiting impacted by NIL

“Some guys have already gotten money and they may not feel like the future of their lives is hanging on interviews with teams anymore, or they might even think they’ve already ‘made it’,” he said. “I can see more of that since NIL has become bigger and bigger. And that attitude really pisses some people off. So I wasn’t shocked when I saw [the reporting] that Shedeur was supposedly arrogant or not connected in interviews. Personally, I didn’t feel like that. But I also know that there are [people in the NFL] who are starting to automatically think it’s NIL type of entitlement if a kid comes in and is maybe a little overconfident or cocky in a meeting.”
