still doesnt explain where the loss of 300k in this situation would be deducted?
We don't know what Ole Miss was paying him, but it's obvious they're low-balling some of the current players. If his fair market value is high enough, our deal could exceed theirs and pay off the buyout at the same time if he agrees to that. If he wants more money that exceeds his fair market value, it would have to be paid out of Rev Share.
It could go either way.
One other thing is schools can agree to pay a buyout via installment payments which could spread out the obligation over, let's say, the next 2 years. Knowing Ole Miss, they will want it all up front.

I don't agree. This is free agency, but the players become free agents every off season, and have to be re-signed. That's a horrible model.
I'm pulling for us to get all the best players in this wacky market, because everyone is in the same boat, and it's what you have to do to compete. But this isn't sustainable. At the VERY least, it needs to go back to the one free transfer rule. If you want to be a TJ Finley and play for seven different schools, you'll be in your 30's, and still in college. But with this unlimited free transfer era, and the NIL driving up the market every year, it's killing the sport.

Well I'm not enraged, I just don't agree. And if he's only looking for a reaction, I have no way of knowing if that's what he's doing. There are plenty of fans that think every new thing is great for college football.

the only people who think this version of college football is better was born after 2005. It's like saying Covid was the best time in our lifetime. Makes zero sense
This has nothing to do with the sport we grew up watching.

Yeah, it clearly makes no sense. And yet, like I said, there are plenty who think it's great. We're in a world where lots of things people say or believe don't make sense. So when someone says something outrageous, I can no longer assume it's satirical or sarcastic, unless it's written in a way that makes it obvious.

One contract every year means players play hard every year because they have to keep their stock up if they want to renew or get a raise in the portal. Opposed to NFL where they get a 5+ year contract and sit on their arse until the last year when they start playing hard. Or opposed to before when we didn’t have any contracts and good players like Chase would just sit out ride bench all year.
Saying it isn’t sustainable just makes you sound like a retard.

I think there’s some sort of competition to see who can say “this is unsustainable” the most.

I understand your point about Umanmielen not "officially" being in the portal. Perhaps "official" means the 48 hours had not expired at the time the AI answer was given (BTW, AI gives a LOT of bad answers on things but that is off topic). But 247Sports has him in as of 2 days ago. They do not put players in based upon rumors or hearsay. And that would be an obvious loophole to hold paperwork if a guy announced within 2 days of the end of the portal window. I know the NCAA is dumb but not that dumb. There is too much news/fire about the guy for him NOT to be available for transfer. So respectivefully, I think AI is either out of date in this case or flat out wrong.

Appreciate your perspective.
Like I said I don’t know, because to my knowledge, the NCAA doesn’t have a page that lists all players who are “officially” entered?
If they did it would solve a lot of problems.
Just wish we didn’t have people relying on sources, rather an official list that would put and end to all of this speculation.

deduct the fee next year from his funds. IF he wants to come to LSU, then he should have some skin in the game. he signed the paper with OM. I hope he sees the validity of coming to LSU over staying at OM. It cost LSU 300 and him 300. Seems fair to me.

In the event that you are actually serious about what you just said, I'll respond with this basic logic: No matter if your contract is for one year or 5 years, if you want another contract when that one is up, you better perform. The fact that some people get money and immediately mail it in is a character flaw, and not about the length of the contract.
So what is the difference between an NFL contract, and these year by year deals being given out in college, and why do I say it's unsustainable? Because in he NFL, when most contracts are multi year, you don't have the entire market reset ever single year driving the price way up. Even then, NFL salaries are enormous, but they can afford it. With players leaving whenever they feel like it every year in college, looking for a raise, the cost to acquire players is not going to be affordable for long. These aren't single team franchise's, but institutions that have to pay for all kinds of different athletic programs. Boosters aren't going to be able, or willing, to sustain this model.
And also, as for players not playing hard, what do you think happens every year when players don't get the playing time they think they deserve, right away? They stop playing hard, and start looking for other places to go. They wouldn't do that, if they knew they couldn't just transfer whenever they want, as many times as they want, without having to sit out a year.
