Lsu is saying Zavion will transfer to them

Guys this is the new college football for now.
Until the NCAA or some governing body steps in and puts some parameters around this, the rich are only going to get richer.
It’s inevitable.
I believe it’s also inevitable that it becomes too outrageous and someone with half a brain figure out that it’s bad for college sports and does something about it.
When that happens, I don’t no but I just can’t see this sh#+ as the new norm long term.
I hope not anyway.
My give a 17’s are almost used up now with this BS!

Who gives a ****. What has he really done other than return a couple kicks. With a good QB and our new system under lebby hopefully it can be plug and play.
Well fact is that the players I will get behind are the ones that want to stay here. Anybody else, kiss my fat! If he is working it trying to get more.. BYE BYE, let's purchase somebody else.
Let's not be in the business of begging a player to stay here.

I thought it was pretty obvious he was our best WR as the season went on (some would say Tulu but in 4 years he never impressed me much as a receiver, outside of the SC game).
I'd prefer to lose any other WR on the roster before him.
I can't imagine there being a ton of fan bases tolerating many seasons of this before checking out. Something will have to be done for better stability. We may come out a net win in all this when the dust settles for this season, but will we be able to raise $10M or whatever the number is reliably every year to participate in this new normal?
And even if programs figure out a way to navigate the financial aspect, will the average fan just lose interest when they can't name key players on the roster? I can watch NFL and feel a better connection with their professional athletes. There are trade risks and expiring contracts but that's at least transparent and somewhat predictable.
I'm with you in theory but I've got serious concerns that Lebby is that guy.
Everyone can see how ridiculous this is. However until the blue bloods have players bought out from under them (State buys Milroe from under Bama for example ) N O T H I N G will be done.
Hell this system benefits the blue bloods and some players.
It's over. There is no "building a program" anymore for the Mississippi States or Ok States or Iowa Sts etc etc. (interesting I don't see OM or Kansas players in the portal) Anyways....We are going the way of USM I'm afraid.

If he wants to go, then go. Save some $ for another play maker. Tired of the $ grubbing Pre-Modonnas.
If this is really the reality you see, then we need to just say that. We will take the welfare check from the SEC, and commit to building basketball and baseball.
Because we aren't competing in football if we aren't planning to build a program. We will have to be innovative about it, but that's what we have to do. Or just give it up, and go be the whipping boy like Vandy.
We will never be able to move the needle by going out, throwing down in the streets, and overpaying players with NIL or black market bagmen. We can get a few, most likely defensive players. But that's not our game.
Cohen knew these things.
Drake Stoops was OU’s leading receiver this year. A true SPS G5 Talent. Hoping for plug and play as well.
As long as the sheep fans in crimson and white, purple and gold, scarlet and white, blue and maize, etc fill the stadiums in December and January, what does the NCAA care and the networks care? They are all fat and happy and could care less about the Vandy, MSU, Iowa State, Rutgers, Wake Forest, Cal, Ilinois, and Cincinatti's of the sport.
Unfortunately, yes.
I don't know how you accumulate enough talent when you lose your best receivers to schools on your schedule, each year.
Maybe that doesn't happen in this case but if it does...... two years in a row
I didn't want Lebby then I got excited a few days around his hire, and now I'm kind of like "Oh ****". Hope he proves me wrong.

I think it's here for a lot of people already.
Quoting someone above "My give a 17’s are almost used up now with this BS!"

This is called Tampering by NCAA rules if they have reached out to him and he isn’t in Portal.
What NCAA rules?
When I hit the pick 6, I’m just gonna pay the top players on other teams to quit mid season. I mean I’m going to pay them to endorse my company at in person events the same time as their biggest games of the season. Or I’ll just pay LSU OL (1st-3rd string) to be at my used car dealership during the LSU/Bama game and do the same for Bama OL during the Iron Bowl. Burn the system down

Ok, here is what I think I will do with my fandom. I'm just going to pull for MSU and we may as well take the names off the back of jerseys because I'm about to stop caring about the players. When the season rolls around I'll shout "throw it to number 82!". Don't hate the player, hate the game I guess.
If you buy them out of the portal they are here to stay unless we change coaches, they graduate or they sit out. Save that money for Portal Guys.
Obviously you have not followed this sport closely because if you did, you'd know. Those individual coaches and ADs that left are not appreciated any longer either.
You can't say that! I was chastised a couple weeks ago about saying we'd be a CUSA school. Hell we've done more with less than less with more, but the hens are coming home to roost in this new era. Hopefully I'm wrong and we start swinging a big enough stick to stay where we are.
That’d be the official NCAA rulebook, chief.
Same rulebook that says explicitly what happens if you send disguised spies to the sidelines of opponents games to steal signs and gain an advantage by knowing their plays ahead of time.
What happens you ask? You get an embarrassing media wrist slap on your way to being the #1 seed for the national championship tournament. Its all very serious.
