2 Schools Reportedly Offered Drake Maye $5 Million To Leave North Carolina
Earlier this Tuesday, North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown accused several big-name collegiate programs of using NIL to tamper with standout
Maye will be the #1 NFL draft pick in 2024. If eligible he would be #1 in 2023. 99.999% of college players are not at his level of talent. And couldn't draw $500 in NIL, much less $5M.I just don't see this being a feasible model for 95% of the schools if a guy like Maye can get offered 5 million per year
Which proves my point that only the richest programs that can/will shell out 5 million for 1 player will continue to get the best players and the other teams will fight each other for scraps.Maye will be the #1 NFL draft pick in 2024.

And yet with the best QB in CFB UNC went 9-4, lost to Georgia Tech with an interim coach, barely beat awful Miami & Virginia.Which proves my point that only the richest programs that can/will shell out 5 million for 1 player will continue to get the best players and the other teams will fight each other for scraps.
Or Russian collusionSaban was disingenuous when he criticized Texas A&M. Like Hillary Clinton lecturing on corruption.

And folks, this is how socialism works.All of the NIL money needs to be pooled and distributed amongst all athletes of a school.
Again. This would be illegal under the law. You would get sued by the more valuable players. It would also be impossible to get all schools to abide by it. When there were rules in place about paying players those same schools cheated. Why wouldn’t they cheat with this agreement. It still kind of blows my mind how in America, we can’t get our public institutions in charge of education to stop cheating. The people in charge should have very high moral standards and immediately fire anyone that breaks the rules.All of the NIL money needs to be pooled and distributed amongst all athletes of a school.
Bama and UGA is my guess
If TN's willing to pay $8M for an unproven HS QB, $5M for an experienced college QB is a drop in the bucket.
After winning 3 straight Heismans and 3 straight NCs the guy will bolt to the NFL after 3 years. And with it being TN I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't $8M/yr.I agree, but technically, UT's deal is a 4yr/$8M deal I believe, while this would be 1yr/$5M.
Are you scared of socialism? Do you enjoy the police and fire department? Military? Any public service? That's socialism too.And folks, this is how socialism works.
This. If he were offered $5 million, he'd be gone.No one offered him 5 million dollars.
And if anyone is that desperate, why aren't we hearing 2 million dollars for Leary or McCall
Sounds good when you don't share all the "benefits".Are you scared of socialism? Do you enjoy the police and fire department? Military? Any public service? That's socialism too.
Lol. No.All of the NIL money needs to be pooled and distributed amongst all athletes of a school.
As has been pointed out in this thread, Knoxville paid guaranteed $8M for 4 yrs for a freshman who hasn't played 1 second of CFB.This. If he were offered $5 million, he'd be gone.
Should all be decentralized and privatized. Government monopolies are the worst.Are you scared of socialism? Do you enjoy the police and fire department? Military? Any public service? That's socialism too.

Or like a Trump guy lecturing on Hillary.Saban was disingenuous when he criticized Texas A&M. Like Hillary Clinton lecturing on corruption.
Tennessee would ***** their own mother out for an SEC East title. Paying players is no issue whatsoever. Dirtiest program in the entire ******* country.In spite of what osu has said UGA is not into the bidding wars to get kids to sign, just won a NC with a walk on QB, why offer a kid from a run of the mill ACC team 5m?. OSU writers/fanboys just spewing sour grapes that a southern school beat them for a kid. UGA promotes the NIL for current players and getting developed for the NFL draft not to sign.
If I were going to place a wager, one of the teams would be AU, Mr Yellowwood wants to win the SEC and Freeze came for a bargain compared to other coaching hires. Bama could be the other, but vols are into buying QBs so I wouldn't dismis them.
Socialism is for losers. Just doesn’t work. The reason China is eating our lunch right now and should surpass us economically is they finally adopted a capitalist economic system 42 years ago to go with their autocratic rule . They don’t call it that intentionally but that is what it is .Are you scared of socialism? Do you enjoy the police and fire department? Military? Any public service? That's socialism too.
China's economy is certainly not capitalist. I'm more for democratic socialism, which does work.Socialism is for losers. Just doesn’t work.

in those 42 years China has brought more people out of poverty into the middle class than any nation in history . Read Changing world order by Ray Dialo .
On the other hand countries like Venezuela show us what socialism brings .
Yeah, works great in Europe if you have a sucker like the US to provide most of your country's defense for you.China's economy is certainly not capitalist. I'm more for democratic socialism, which does work.
Good memory. It was actually 12 months ago, right after the bowl before Coen left. We made a damn strong bid to get the reining Beltnikoff award winning wide reciever. He turned us down, we got Tavion Robinson instead.I mean UK was accused of offering Jordan Addison 800,000 by Pitts coach before he entered the portal back in May. Maybe it was stoops and Co.
Dialo runs the biggest hedge fund. In the world . He has spent a significant portion of his life in China and he says the economic system is capitalist but Xi laughs when others point that out to him and responds “ what difference is it it if a cat is black or white as long as it is healthy “ .China's economy is certainly not capitalist. I'm more for democratic socialism, which does work.
Agree with your comment . Several major corporations I have worked with all expressed frustration over the socialistic work rules in Europe . Everybody taking off August particularly drives them crazy .Yeah, works great in Europe if you have a sucker like the US to provide most of your country's defense for you.
When that teat runs dry, spending most of your gov monies on social programs becomes unmanageable. On top of that, any observation of history would tell you that depending on the benevolence of government over their subjects/ citizens is a fool's errand.
Cal has his own issues, but he’s right about a segment of the UK fan base.Or Russian collusion
It's a distraction technique to deflect blame from yourself. Cal is doing the same thing blaming fans for the program's failures.
We haven't seen the contract and know one way or the other. I read that his contract is like 2.3 mil a year but is based off of his mkt value and him doing appearances and so forth. It isn't 8 million guaranteed if true. He was getting around 1 mil this year b4 he enrolls for appearances during visits and during the springAs has been pointed out in this thread, Knoxville paid guaranteed $8M for 4 yrs for a freshman who hasn't played 1 second of CFB.
I have no doubt the $5M is real. A high level QB is worth $10M to Bama or Ohio or Georgia, that is literally the 1 thing those 3 schools need to win the 2023 Natl Championship.
Why didn't he take it, simple, UNC matched it or came damn close.
