"By contesting Umanmielen's request, Ole Miss is signaling a willingness to test whether signed NIL agreements actually carry weight once the window closes. In a sport that has largely operated on timing loopholes and mutual understandings, Ole Miss is choosing a harder line — one that could set precedent, or at least slow the momentum of rivals willing to pay their way through contracts."

I’m not saying they are wrong for fighting it, but good luck getting players to re sign with you early going forward.

aren't they actively taking a player from clemson that already signed there and enrolled in classes?

They’re going to have a much tougher time in the future I’d imagine.

Purple glasses set aside, it certainly is insane that someone can sign a contract then try to dip a few days later.

I still want him, though

He declared for the portal before the window closed.

Yeah, that is a weak argument about the portal window

In a perfect world, I would never have to read another tweet from Ben Garrett, Tom Mars or Matt Bowers...

If said contract has a buyout that we are comfortable paying then Ole Piss can pound sand.

Ben has been constantly wrong about things throughout the last 2 weeks so I just assume he's wrong about this too

Sounds like a medical redshirt if he is not allowed to leave! First day of workouts he pulls something in his back. Done deal. Just collect the OM pay check and see them later.
