Some might be interested: Beau Pribula update
- Thread starter DaytonRickster
- Start date
Filled up? He went to Mizzou to compete for playing time--that would have been an option a month later.
So if that was the best available at the time for him it would have been much more slim pickins later.
Based on what? He has an agent--they could have negotiated that before he entered the portal like everyone else does.
This argument is illogical and ignores how things worse--kids were transferring after spring ball and getting starting jobs--he didn't even get a starting role with Mizzou
He waited to see if Allar was coming back. Once that was decided he had to move quickly. This the predominant thought by BWI at the time too. If you don’t want to believe it that’s fine with me. You seem to have a greater understanding of everything and everyone here including the beat writers. Carry on.
He didn't wait for Allar. He believed Allar was leaving then reacted emotionally. That was the reaction by the majority here because most didn't under the rules about the window because Beau and James provided false information. Some still dont understand it. Many here like rewriting history and blaming the NCAA for things. Beau's decision was not logic based. He was angry.
Hmmmmm, for decades the NCAA allowed many schools to pay for play under the table and they turned a blind eye to it. It wasn't some hard secret to figure out. They had every opportunity multiple times over to either enforce it or fix it with REAL STIPENDS and they didn't want to rock the boat as they needed those $$$'s coming into their pockets. This is all coming from a non profit that has a billion dollar a year revenue and a president that makes 3+ million a year while running a "nonprofit" system "for the kids lucky to get ships". Yet the people...mainly 2 sports with some exceptions were told they were just lucky to "get a free education" and they needed to shut up when it was already being raised they should be getting a cut of the pie.
So they failed to see what was coming or somehow were oblivious to it or they simply ignored it on purpose....take your pick. The athletes had to beat them in court as people were making money off of them. Video games, jerseys.....all of it, none was getting back to the "employees" who were the actual product we are paying to watch and still are. I understand that you cannot comprehend anything wrong there with a non profit making a billion in revenue without kicking it back or at least enforcing it, but their greed/lack of leadership has absolutely led to this wild west atmosphere. I get some people have zero interest in fairness and it's ok for people at the top to crap on people, but we'll say praise god to everyone and just ignore the fat cats lining their pockets....as it's just fine to some. That's just "the way it is" until it's not. It's fine to turn a profit, but the greed they have is pretty hard to ignore for decent humans.

Why? As it turns out Allar got injured early last year and Beau would have become PSU's starting QB for most of last year as well as this coming year. Of course he didn't know that at the time.
What you don't understand is some PSU fans think these kids in today's NIL world/free agency need to be almighty loyal to PSU. If not, they are bad people who dare to look out for themselves and families first. PSU wasn't going to match that offer from Mizzou and I'm sure Mizzou wanted this done quickly on their end too. I don't think the conversation was take your time, we'll wait for Beau to decide whenever and won't look elsewhere.....or it was here is the offer, we need a decision in X amount of days or we're moving on. That milk was spilled a long time ago, but some fans need to be butt hurt all of the time as this impacts them the most you know.....that is honestly what is going on in their warped heads.
He wanted to start, not wait for an injury to happen to Allar.
Whoa...I dont think he needed to be loyal. The issue is he lied about it instead of owning it. Players should do what is best for them but own it.
You're the one that doesn't like the timeline because it doesn't fit your narrative. Sorry about that. Your post above this one was good.
I didn’t care if Beau stayed or not. I didn’t create any narrative. I just explained what he said his reasons were at the time. He was looking out for himself which is what he should have done. The kid just wanted to play.
He loved being at PSU but he just wanted to on the field more and no one should blame him. If he could make more money, more power to him.
It would be really great if you would chill on the accusatory tone and create false motives for other posters.
Also, how do you know James lied to him? Were you in the room?
His reasons didn't make sense. Beau continually lied about the timeline. He didn't want to play. He was angry and wanted to leave. If he wanted to play, like all the others that stayed and entered the portal after the playoff run, he would have.
I agree...he wanted to start and make money. He should have left. And he shouldn't have lied about that.
Where did I say James lied to him? James used him but never lied to him. There's a different.
Accusatory tone? Interesting
This is all simple
Beau was right for leaving. I'm glad he did. He should have maximized playing time and income.
Beau also never tool ownership. Repeatedly falsely stating when he had to decide by while the rest of his teammates left after the playoff run.
Beau didn't want to face the ramifications of being honest.
James was thrilled by this...see the changes that occurred regarding the portal.
You said this above.
“That was the reaction by the majority here because most didn't under the rules about the window because Beau and James provided false information.”
I read it wrong. Essentially you were saying that Beau and James lied to the media I guess or lied to us.
My bad.
All good...James and Beau repeatedly used the deadline excluding the exception for playoff teams. Either they didn't know (which is a problem) or were misleading people to help create change.
How and why does this impact your life that a young man changed schools for more money? In what way do you think he owes you an explanation?
Didn't impact my life at all. I'm glad he left and cashed in (though it's significantly overstated regarding what he received) but it gave him a chance to compete to start so good for him
I dislike anytime someone doesn't take accountability for their actions and tries to blames others. It's a cowardly move.
