THAT Scotch. MAY HAVE been the worst...when its on the shelf next to Mad Dog and Absinthe...you should avoid it. There is a reason it was cheap enough for college budget
This barrage of recruit announcements (portal and HS) is JMFF's version of this.....
The Never Ending Story II Electric Boogaloo level fantastic!!!!
So many DTs, we use them as DEs.
Use the DEs as LBs
Use the LBs as Safeties
My FIL swears he hates scotch.
When he was at Tech in the 60s, he walked to Cburg for booze before a game, bought the cheapest thing in the store (bottom shelf scotch) drank the whole thing before getting to the stadium, and puking by half-time.
Swears that scotch is the worst.
We won't need an OL because we're going to sign every DL in the country. Top notch thinking.
It wasn't needed....
Syracuse bound
LB Will Johnson portalling out
BRING ME ALL THE BEEF
Another HUGE defensive lineman at 6-3 308. Redshirted after two games so he has four years of eligibility left...played at Miami Central High School in Miami...rated as a four-star prospect by Rivals and a three-star prospect by 247Sports, On3 and ESPN...rated the No. 19... https://t.co/P6j0yEshSq— Dave Scarangella (@DaveScarangella) January 13, 2026
Keep em coming geezy
LFG!
I should have added a sarcasm tag.
If we lose a recruit over a Letterkenny gif, I wouldn't have wanted them here in the first place.
Randy Adirika, PSU DL announced he committed to Hokies. Don't have titter so nothing to link
Are these creepy too? Have they lost their luster? Should I stop?
Recruit: Should I play football for a school and get paid, and play for a respected coach, or should I not because interested fans post memes on message boards? Tough choice.
To expand on your speculation, I am thinking (hoping, maybe) the rejected deals had more to do with the terms of said deals rather than the outright ethics of NIL vs pay-to-play. Rejection for deals that contain language that isn't enforceable, is too restrictive, grants rights to the collective outside the scope of N/I/L, etc. Not so much that XYZ school is trying to outbid all other schools just to get the athlete to play there, and hence why the overall number seems pretty low. But I could be wrong...
Ah interesting, thanks. Are these deals subject to the $20.5M per school rev share cap? Or in addition to it?
Without any knowledge but based on pure speculation, I'm guessing the majority of the rejected deals are from smaller Universities and lesser sports. P4 football has the money to hire the right people to get it done correctly.
I don't think they're endorsement deals anymore, at least the ones from the University. Instead, it's more along the lines:
"Your NIL value is $X. In exchange for your NIL rights for year 2026, University will pay you $X. University retains the right to use your name, image, and likeness in the year 2026."
Essentially, the University is paying the player for their rights to their "fair share" of the media and ticket sales that are valued for playing for the University.
I'm sort of surprised that the average cost of the rejected deals is 28.5k, I would have thought it would be much higher. Presumably, there are several big number outliers in these deals which means the median is probably well under that 28.5k mark. I also wonder how many players those 524 deals are spread across. I bet the collectives and donors have tried to sign players to dozens of 5k deals to better fly under the radar.
Our front 4 is going to rotate after each play! 4 plays on 8 plays off. Fresh legs all game long
