Dillon Theineman committed to Oregon

We don’t. We have one of the lowest funded collectives in P4.

You’re an old man screaming at clouds at this point. If you gave of any significance you’d know we don’t have this kind of $

If that’s the case … and the National reports I’ve seen suggest that outside of about 20 programs most schools are paying comparable nil ($30-60k average in football) with Purdue at the lower end, but with other B1G programs that didn’t just toss an entire season below and around us…then what are you suggesting?

Maybe (and this is just hypothetical) Purdue provides the kind of conservative education that makes people think about the value of their money and paying 18 year olds to play a game doesn’t strike us as a good value. You’re not going to convince people to give on a free message board, and if you think that shaming them here is a good strategy then I may really know why our nil collective is crap.

LOL. Conjecture much?

I think it’s stupid to spend money on these kids. They aren’t worth it.

That said, if we don’t we will absolutely lose kids like Thieneman to the ones who are willing to spend. You have to be realistic. We’ll spend enough to field a roster and hopefully we have the coaching to make them competitive. If we do t spend big $, we won’t keep the guys like Scourton, Thineman, etc who are looking for a payday to leave. It’s not a complicated premise.

Again, I’m not advocating for it but if we don’t we have a ceiling for sure.

That was before revenue sharing. Next year Purdue is expected to pay $13m-$16m for football plus what ever the collective pays. I hope they give everyone $150k flat and then let the collective pay more to some players. It takes all the pressure off Purdue athletics and the coaches and If anyone wants to complain they can go to the collective.

If teams do this, do players get to keep the money if they opt out of a bowl game?

They shouldn’t!

Revenue generated by the game, going to pay the players is the way it needed to be from the moment the ncaa lost the lawsuit.

There was also talk that some of the players that stayed last year were upset some of the transfers were getting more than them.

Bingo. And folks on here wonder why Painter isn’t spending big bucks on portal players…

If it was because of a much better NIL money, can’t blame him. If it was about jumping to a winning program only, good riddance.

No I do not unless it applies to other threads!

If you're going to fault one, you have to fault the other. And if you do that, then you fault the entire process as a whole. Guys are going to move for whatever reason that suits them now that this system is in place. Money, playing time, winning, getting closer to home, getting further from home, girlfriend/boyfriend, scenery, education (gasp!). This is a new world of college sports. I hate it, but to complain about it at this point is like the old man yelling at a cloud. Nobody is going to hear you. We just deal with having a 30-50% roster change every year and hope for the best.

I don't blame any of these guys for taking a bigger payment day. Ideally, this leads to multi - year contracts that doesn't completely close the door on transfers. We're already seeing teams back out of bowl games because of transfers (Marshall) so something will be done sooner than later. The NCAA is kind of pointless, but maybe they could muster a solution.
