Too bad no one goes to their games USD and SDSU play in Brookings this week so we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Five Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 9 hours ago, gfhockey said: Wow they don’t reven review a good catch by sdsu and instead call a penalty on them The ball came out of possession. At the end of the play a Jackrabbit player standing in the end zone picked the ball up because it rolled to his feet. ESPN did an awful job of rolling the review on that one. I had to rewind and watch myself, but also explains why the SDSU receiver didn't object. I don't think the officiating affected the outcome of that game whatsoever. Biggest question mark to me was the NDSU player on the punt catch by SDSU, but when the play rolled out live it looked like the NDSU player got shoved in the back into the punt receiver. Another situation where ESPN didn't do a great job of rolling the full replay. It was a defensive slugfest. Kind of old school, ugly football. Both are beatable teams on the right day, that's pretty clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Miller as he made some great throws when needed but Gronowski was awful.....and he looked like Dan Marino compared to what I saw on both sides at the Alerus yesterday. I mean when you lose the likes of Tommy Schuster to a big ten school it's tough to recover. 5-5 against Oregon with a 162 RTG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder how talented Gronowski really is when he doesn’t have nfl talent surrounding him at every position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyalty is one thing, but 1.2 million in your pocket at age 22 is life changing. Especially for a guy that isn’t guaranteed to make nfl money. Hate to tell a kid not to stay loyal to his teammates, but in this case, I think he should’ve taken the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he just took that money and put it in a S&P 500 index fund and didn't touch it that alone would fund his retirement in 25-30 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every situation is the same. The world has changed. Imagine if Joe Burrow or Quinn Ewers had been “loyal”. Burrow would’ve been a high school coach somewhere making 60k/year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically taught these kids to be quitters and that they don't need to put the work in to be successful,"I am taking my toys and going home". Look at Trey Feeney. Didn't get what he wanted and quit on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Trey Feeney. Didn't get what he wanted and quit on the team. That’s one way to look at it. Another is treating them like people treat their career. Have you ever left a job for more money? more responsibility? Your own happiness? Your home situation changed? There’s a million valid reasons why a player would want to transfer and their punishment is to lose a year of eligibility? Horribly punitive. Some players will abuse it, just like some employees bail on their employer when they feel like it for a better situation. Why should the player be held hostage at the university? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Football Fan Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 What happens a lot I think is, a kid being offered more. Team A offers 80,000 NIL and kid verbally commits and then Team B offers 150,000. So kid decommits and commits to 2nd school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is such a bad take.. why should we hold kids to a higher standard than the coaches who can leave whenever they want. they clearly need to fix some things around the edges.. but kids should be able to get paid a reasonable amount, and they should be able to transfer at least once without any punitive issues. feeney gave 3 yrs to UND.. Barely saw the field.. I have no issues with him leaving and trying to get playing time before his clock runs out. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't employees until the NCAA passes something where they can actually pay athletes until then they aren't so they shouldn't be allotted the same freedoms as coaches. Feeney probably isn't as good as he thinks he is and there is probably a good reason why he didn't play that much. If Simon beat him out that really says something.

All for being allowed to transfer when you earn a degree, go down a division, coach leaves etc. don’t know if there is a better answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are adults, if they want to leave for a better opportunity they should be allowed to. Separately, if NIL money is involved, I expect some sort of contract situation to get involved moving forward. eg. A portion of your NIL money is vested each year you are on the team or something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two different offensive coordinators agree with your take so I would guess it’s a reasonable perspective, Which is even more reason for the portal.. let a kid go to a team where they will get to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
