    Dude this kid should’ve transferred. It’s guaranteed money and there is no promise he will play in the league.

    It's amazing that the only player to talk about the NIL in detail is the one that doesn't agree with the NIL. Hmmmmm. Interesting

    I can’t stand this NIL bs….it’s so sickening

  4. Ernest Walker

    All of this got started because of a Lawyer in California and the NCAA is weak, they should have stop this in the beginning

  5. Zaza

    Stop trying to make it seem like if the kids take the offer is bad last 2 drafts every top 100 pick had nil deal he just chose his path others maybe need the revenue and money

    I respect his decision but what happens if he get hurt and can’t play anymore, will Boston be loyal to him?

    We wanted athletes to get paid now some are compiling asking for more restrictions cause they’re school can’t keep good talent. Money talks and if some athletes are transferring to get it good for them.

    Because he has Phil Jurkovec the best QB in the country

    He may have turned the down because of the terms or BC gave him just as much allegedly

    Just because he did that doesn't mean the other young men are not exceptional as well. ALL THESE YOUNG MEN HAVE TO DO WHATS BEST FOR THEM BECAUSE THE LIVELIHOOD OF PROFESSIONAL IS NOT GUARANTEED

    Nice to hear this conversation, my school, ASU, is being ravaged by guys jumping into the portal and they recently lost a soph LB Eric Gentry (Freshman AA) to USC thru the portal and I am sure he was lured into the portal by friends or contacts from SC waving NIL $$'s in front of his face. NCAA put their heads in the sand and ignored, now it is like wildfire. Props to Zay Flowers.

    This young man is a rare breed, he knows he’ll make it at the next level. The NIL thing is gonna destroy college athletics, he did the right thing by listening to his father . Honor thy mother and father and your days will be long , seeking GODLY council is the wise thing to do. He’s a star ⭐️ he’ll make that and then Some in the Pros . Job well done son well done !!!!!!.

    NCAA gotta do sum abt this… NIL wasn’t created for these reasons it was created for businesses and companies such as Beats,Outback, etc things and places like that to give players endorsements

    I love the NIL deals. Smaller schools like UTSA with rich boosters and alumni are now competing more against the bigger universities.
