Just One More Example of the Insanity in CFB

[Spinal Tap]

This is from Sports Talk. I don't care whose site it's from. Look at this dad's thoughts.

USC offered OG Keyshawn Blackstock (6-5 315) of Coffeyville JC, KS and Covington, GA on November 2nd and immediately became a major player for a player regarded by some as the top interior offensive lineman available in junior college this recruiting season. Blackstock included the Gamecocks in his top 12 and took an official visit the weekend of November 16th.


After the visit, Blackstock spoke highly of Shane Beamer and offensive line coaches Greg Adkins and Lonnie Teasley. He said relationships with the coaches was a big part of his decision. But the Gamecocks did not make his top five which he released earlier this week. He settled on Oregon, Southern Cal, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Tennessee.


NIL opportunities are important to Blackstock in the recruiting process, and according to his father, what USC showed him in that area did not match up with the competition.


“He’s not necessarily all about money. He’s not one of those kids,” Keith Blackstock said earlier in the week before his son released his to five. “You’ve got all these schools offering all these opportunities, and you’ve got South Carolina that’s literally at the bottom of the whole crop when it comes to what they can offer a kid. It kind of sucks, you know. It may be a great school. It ain’t about money, but one injury and you can never play football again. That’s one of the things at South Carolina, they don’t really have opportunities like some of the other schools do. NIL stuff. NIL opportunities.”


Schools have been warned by the NCAA that using NIL as a recruiting tool is forbidden.


“Other people are using that as a recruiting tool,” Keith Blackstock said. “I’m not downing anyone. He did like South Carolina a lot. Other schools are offering opportunities for it and giving you examples. South Carolina just doesn’t have those things. It’s nothing against them. Other schools are using that as a recruiting tool, and me, personally, I don’t think that should be done. Nothing is guaranteed. With any kid, you can’t really guarantee them NIL money, but they just give them examples of people who played their position or who was their size, something that can resemble that kid that gives them some intimate idea. That’s some of the other schools whole selling point. It’s not Keyshawn’s selling point, but when you have a coach that he really likes and then they bring that up, it looks good. But the main thing with Keyshawn though is depth chart. He’s more concerned about a depth chart than anything else. Even if you’re offering him two million, if he doesn’t get to play, what is two-million dollars? But because he is who he is, he knows that football isn’t guaranteed. He knows the chance of going to the NFL is slim, and you want to be compensated. He wants help his mom out. He just wants to be in a position to take care of his family. I told him he shouldn’t have to think like that, but he wants to.”


Keyshawn Blackstock has taken official visits to Illinois, USC and Michigan State. His father said he is going to try to visit Oregon or Oklahoma before making a final decision next week.

It used to be a facilities race, who's got the best weight room, academics center, athletic dorms/playground, etc.
Now it has moved straight to the money - on the table instead of under the table!

 

[Uscg1984]

One line from his dad's comments jumped out at me: "It ain’t about money, but one injury and you can never play football again."

Hmm. If only college athletes had the opportunity to earn something (for free) from the colleges at the end of their athletic and academic careers that would allow them to earn a nice living if their football careers don't pan out.

Yes, they used to ask us to give to these facilities to help in recruiting, but I suspect much of it was mostly about vanity projects for the ADs and coaches. NIL is a game changer for the schools. Why give money to the school when the payoff in recruiting is tenuous at best when I can give money directly to the player and see direct results?

Well, there you have it, right out in the open and laid bare. And it it all adds up to one thing: in this environment, we will never be in a position to excel. Enjoy your eight-win seasons, if you can get 'em.

Here is a simple list that USC Club scholarship $$$$ helps pay for but no days is not enough.

Full College Degree
Room and Board
Cable tv / internet
Tutoring
Computers and Access
Medical
Dental
Physical Fitness Trainer
Coaching to help showcase player’s talent
Alumni Access for life after FB
Counseling / Mentorship to help life development
Nutrition personnel guidance / Food

I’m sure I left out a few. Look at that small list.
How much do you think 1 player would have to pay for that type of access? Yet we are told that, THAT list, is not enough

It is up to the player to do what they want to do when presented the opportunity to use it. At the same time, as the poster stated, enough has been provided so he shall step aside

 

[Tngamecock]

You rich folk better get more involved.

It really breaks my heart that we can't make these kids rich off possible one day in the future potential without them having to reach said potential. I'll pull for whoever runs on the field in a Gamecock uniform in any sport...........but I won't be supporting your "possible" future financially at age 18. Per his dad.........it ain't about the money, but it's about the money. Gotta love the slant.

You are correct....unless the universities give the NCAA the authority to investigate and the ability to compel the schools to turn over records, documents, etc...or the student-athletes begin turning in the schools who have made NIL promises to them (which we know neither will ever happen).

Plus they recieve stipends from the school and they can also get Pell Grants......but the Supreme Court basically ignored all those arguments.

Kind of like it's OK to pursue a passion or hobby, "but don't quit your day job (or your education in this case)."

 

[KingWard]

Plus they receive stipends from the school and they can also get Pell Grants......but the Supreme Court basically ignored all those arguments.

Well, that which was crafted to guarantee what was seen as a basic right - to control and sell one's own name, image, and/or likeness - has now morphed into a competitive recruiting enticement vehicle with a life of its own. Some, a miniscule percentage, will dominate. Most others, including us, will languish in hopeless futility. This piece allows for no other conclusion.

True, so when will HS players ask to be paid? ESPN televises and promotes HS games. Why shouldn’t they be paid with the notoriety they are bringing to the HS?

I’m sure, as parents, we are all familiar with Traveling Baseball / Basketball, Competitive Soccer and 7on7 FB that “Showcase” the players in tournaments

As a parent, why are you not telling these leagues to pay you for your kid to play for them? Aren’t these leagues making a ton of $$$$. Can’t the players get hurt at this level just as easy as they can at the college level?

We can keep going when it comes to all this $$$ talk. All the while this is wrapped in this mist of required grades to play of college education / degree.

That will probably be the next thing to drop, if you get a certain amount $$$$ on your NIL class is optional

Completely agree.....but the Court could have simply noted that the individual chose to participate in AMATEUR athletics and must comply with their rules and regulations. The right to say what you want is also a basic freedom, but workplaces can also limit those...and have for many, many years.

Those athletes who have reached the age of majority they could also choose to play professionally....and there are more decisions by the courts striking down age discrimination laws.

Heck, all I'm doing is making the same arguments the NCAA made in the case....and lost. I just believed they had the better arguments....and also believe that they have been proven correct. They CHOSE amateur status instead of choosing professional status and challenging the age limitations.
And

Could be that SC does not rate him as high as some others. Even if they do rate him high, it could be that his services will only be a one year deal. It might be better to put the big money on a HS 4 or 5 star.

Yeah, it would be nice if a college degree mattered anymore.

 

[18IsTheMan]

I said it in another thread but I’ll repeat it: I would rather see us shut down our football program than get sucked into an NIL arms race.

As much I love college football, I won’t cling to something that’s college football in name only.

It aint about the money, but the money is exactly why he scratched USC off the list.

 

[ReadR00ster]

1. Anyone who "Just wants to be able to take care of their family" should probably either, get a job, or be more concerned about getting a degree to help you get a better paying job and you don't have to worry about getting injured.

2. If you want to see examples of the kind of opportunity to make money in NIL that info is public and you see on this site for free that Rattler's NIL deals are worth about 850k. Not shabby.

3. A lot of these NIL deals are shams. Some of them pay monthly and all of sudden the money stops coming in after the team starts losing or the player isn't playing well, or they just don't feel like paying any more because its not being regulated.

If South Carolina wants to be ahead of the curve on all of this insanity, they just need to say no to it all. We offer scholarships for student athletes and a montly stipend. It isn't like we are ever going to compete for a National Championship and the University should not get dragged down into this corruption infused morass. Universities should no longer be a vehicle to put athletes into professional sports careers. I've seen a lot of posts on here about competing with China. Their kids are not using college to go to the some professional sports.

If SC put its foot down I doubt we'd be the only one, others would follow. Noone likes this, even the successful programs.

They should set a cap limit much like MLB has per team. Schools should have a limit for total NIL contract.

You. Can't. Cap. NIL.

I thought the purpose of a university was to prepare students for future employment. Sports careers should count - the compensation is great if you can make it that far.

Resources are very valuable if the deep pockets are willing to spend. With the college football climate as it is, I am not sure I want to put a great deal forward.I will wait and see. Considering pulling out all together. Nothing new but thinking about it.

Lots of people are thinking about it. The disaffection is running ahead of the fascination - way ahead. People don't know what this is that we used to know as college football.
