After I saw those UTEP players take NIL money and then choose to sit themselves after exactly 4 games, I don't think any of the parties are acting with honor, and this greed will see to this system's undoing if nothing else will. The greed is accelerating to unsustainable levels.

I never called honor naive; those were your words. You are naive to think coaches, boosters and agents act with honor. Get your head out of the sand.

I applaud (and support) Jacob and TrueNU for doing things the honorable way. We are fortunate to have them. Hopefully the system levels out and the rules are enforced; if not NU will be at a significant disadvantage.

If you're not playing by the rules, that's a good way to land your ass in court.

And if our coaches are promising such things that they're prohibited from promising, then they will lose my support immediately and I'll call for them to be marched right out the door.

How disgusting that you call honor naive.

You’re not that naive are you?

This whole system is built upon a legal fiction, but if the parties at play don't adhere to the rules of the fiction, this whole system is going to fall apart, and it's going to be ugly.

The coach cannot promise NIL payments. NIL are third-party payments for the right to use a player's name, image, and/or likeness. They are not payments from a school or a coach in exchange for playing.

If the coach was promising such things, I think that's probably against the law.

He accepting the scholarship with the understanding he’d be receiving an NIL payment of $100k; when the UNLV collective renigned on their deal he decided to save his final year of eligibility and look to play elsewhere. He did not want to play for a coach that lied to him.

The school that he plays for supplies his scholarship, not his NIL payment. If he's taking the scholarship then he should be playing.

Not his scholarship. His NIL payment.

What? UNLV took away his scholarship? (Maybe they should.)
