Wants $2 mill per season. USC is not willing to go that high from the various reports coming out. Bailey is visiting Texas Tech. TT is probably the biggest portal spender right now.
Nah, Bailey is good but not worth $2 Mil, no way Jose. I say $1 Mil tops. Freaken agents pushing the envelope. Greed and stupidity... Can't blame USC for saying No to his asking price. Players & agents need to be reasonable. Too bad. Glad we have a smart GM in Bowden. Next player. Thanxs Bruddah Ballss.
This is why Bowden doesn't like the portal. He has an incentive based system so kids who start at the bottom and build up are rewarded and make more each year. Parents like it and kids think it's fair. Doesn't apply as well to portal and kids on roster don't like being recruited over. I posted this might become a problem for USC when they went wild on portal early on, and indeed it has been
Thanxs Bruddah for sharing Bowden's NIL thoughts. I did not know that's his stance with pay to play for the TP and HS players. I think it's a smart plan and approach... Cheers
Otherwise thereās no way they could bring in this much talent.
But it also creates a big portal problem as you can imagine. Imagine running a company based on seniority. Production. Then hiring an outside hotshot and making him the highest paid guy.
So I was hoping as you were for Bailey and the kid from Boise. I was also hoping for a nickel and a OL.
Instead it looks like Bowden is content with letting this team take its lumps and keeping the runway open for all these recruits to land
How long until the system cries Uncle and just lets these guys go straight to the NFL and let the league figure out how to deal with them instead of using college as a way to weed out the bad ones?
