Michigan Tuesday: Wants a $13M Contract

Here is a tip for highly rated players and NCAA Football Coaches.  This is not real money.  Do not be fooled.  If a coach or program is willing to pay a high school kid $13M to play football at their school for maybe 3-4 years, it's a scam.  There are a million things that could go wrong where that player never sees the field.  What do you think the boosters are going to do, if the kid pulls a hamstring or looks bad in the Spring Game?  That check will not show up.  


Jaden Rashada a former top ranked QB is suing the University of Florida and coach Billy Napier claiming he was defrauded of millions of dollars in NIL.   Jaden had a $9.5M deal with Miami in June 2022 and decided to flip to Florida for a 4 year $13.85M deal with $1M due at signing.  When no payment came, Rashada asked for his release and signed with Arizona State.  He is at Georgia now. 

Let me be very clear:

$9,5M from Miami - Fake 
$1M at signing - Fake 
$13.85M for 4 years - Fake 

Paying high school kids before they preform at a collegiate level is a really bad transactions for both sides.   Best bet is to ball out at wherever program you prefer and the money will come from legit sources.   Anything else is fools gold. 

  • In news that is hard to believe, Graceland is up for auction on Thursday. 
  • Ryan Day made this recent quote, (the bold changes are mine) "I have a vision in my head of us holding up the national championship or celebrating against the team up north and everyone in buckeye nation, $12 Million (in the transfer portal) strong, singing the fight song".  I don't have to vision it, my team just did it! 😉 BTW- More fools gold but at least they saw these players preform at a colligate level before they broke the bank.

Ryan Day is a buffoon. I can't imagine Buckeye fans endorsing this clown. I'd love for Michigan to administer the knock out blow with another win this year to end this guy, but at the same time, I kinda like having a punching bag like him around.

House vs NCAA anti-trust, revenue sharing lawsuit might have a ruling this week. This could mean billions in payouts and open the door for contracts and salary caps in college football. Big heads up on this one.

If the contract with the player was verbal, the player has been had! But a written legally enforceable contract between two parties exists, he can sue to enforce it and will surely prevail. (So much for your back seat lawyer talkin)

Brady you are scaring me, If it was not for us winning, I would say "muck football & muck Ohio State And John Day (not necessarily in that order).

Ryan Day not John Day.

You'd think Day would just keep his mouth shut and let people think his a fool, rather than opening it up and proving them right. After the past 3 years, you'd think the guy would just keep quiet and do the talking on the field. Talking smack is great when you're right but you look like a real dumb ass if you're not!

Brady, I'm ready for contracts and salary caps. Think that might be the future of college football, where conferences or BCS are based on the amount of money the schools can afford to pay. Not ideal, but better than the wild west show that's going on now.

Scotty, both sides deserved to get screwed. Kid passed on $9M for $13M. Greed gets you no where. FL was out of their ever flipping mind. $13M for a kid that's never play a down in college. There's a HUGE bust rate with highly ranked HS players, especially QBs. I've made it no secret I wish Michigan was more active with NIL and had a better program. But $13M for one kid? No way man!

Chowman- Ya, im ready for some law and order too. I dont even know what to believe anymore. Salaries, kickbacks, false promises. It's pure greed. I've heard the B1G and SEC want their own playoff, including their own rankings. NCAA is useless as usual.
