I wonder how getting taken to the woodshed on National TV affects their lawsuit? They have no business even thinking about playing in the SEC., though I do think the B1G might envision them as Rutgers South, Just shows how weak a conference the ACC really is, and to think how Clemson struggled against a 7-6 SEC team.
I find it amusing that the college playoff and conference championships have turned into a joke.
Why would the orange bowl care? They still got the ticket sales and tv money. If anyone needs to complain are FSU fans
There is no difference between any bowls except the cfp ones.
Give each player 50k each to play, beli v me the orange bowl can afford it, if they don’t wanna play that’s fine they just don’t get paid.
Can you imagine March rolling around Clingan injured and Samson, Newton, Karaban and Hawkins opting out. That is how an FSU fan must feel. Bowl season now sucks. I think big NIL contributors should add a clause, you opt out you pay me back.
How? And why is it the school's fault for the players going their own way?
Or you get paid partially as a weekly or monthly paycheck with playing through any bowl as a requirement to get the bulk of the money. On a 50k deal, say $1000 per week for 15 weeks and then 35k lump sum after all games are completed. Something along those lines.
Sounds like you’d be paying players to play instead of just allowing them to benefit from their own name, image, and likeness.
Yes. That’s a given. If the school is coordinating the pay they can coordinate the payment schedule.
You could make the case that by opting out, they may be tarnishing that image.
Sort of, 26 or so players bailed when they didn’t make the playoff. Their Orange Bowl performance is irrelevant.
Missouri is going to finish like 7th in the country. It's absurd to think Florida State and Clemson can't compete in the SEC.
Since CFB is basically becoming a minor league, might as well add some monetary penalties. In the pros if you sit out, you lose your pay for that game. Something should be put in effect for these NIL deals which are basically salaries.
That was Dave Portnoy who said "what an idiot." He is the founder of Barstool Sports. He is not a professional announcer or analyst, but is a multi-millionaire who basically says what he wants when he wants and doesn't really give a F. What he said is on brand with the Barstool culture. Their demographic is 18-34 year-olds.
Thanks, that explains a lot. It was a rough listen even for the short amount of time that I watched. They stepped all over each other and didn't glance at the audience like most announcers. I am definitely not in their demographic.
