- Thread starter Bigred2467
- Start date
Some of these college guys are gonna start looking like Nolte in "North Dallas Forty"
COVID year and a redshirt year as well.
Probably making more money at Miami then he would in the NFL or civilian life. Business gonna business.

That's true for 95% of these players in this ridiculous world we're living in. Just think about a guy who simply wants to teach and be a HS football coach. Put in five years in college. It could take them 10-20 years to make that much in the real world. And that's if they even earn a degree. It's potentially life changing money.
No, no he’s not but he will take a look
He’s not going to make more money this next year at anything else.
His check next yr is likely from the Florida department of Welfare:
This could be fixed tomorrow: 5 years to play 5 seasons. Dont care if you are injured, redshirt, leave to go play in Europe, etc… no exceptions.
I'd guess maybe he's getting paid more by Miami than he believes he could get in the NFL.
If anybody could enforce rules this wouldn't be a problem. Lets say a guy gets hurt in August, he could just be "dropped" from the team and still get rehab through the team and then just resign the next year and not lose eligibility. Same thing for a redshirt. Just put the kids on a JV roster, and have some JV coaches work with them and their clock doesn't start. The only way to manage is through number of games, which is the current system.
The best part about college freshmen: the older we get, they stay the same age.
