Quinn Ewers' $6M Deal Highlights Lack of NIL Regulation in CFB | THE ODD COUPLE

[@pidouble145]

I love that these college players have so much money coming there way

[@dataghost9925]

They deserve it. Just like a chemistry major can switch schools, so can athletes.

[@johnsimon4263]

​@dataghost9925Yes. Rich people paying for it. I dont get a say when they buy a third home or new car.

[@bobfoster687]

@dataghost9925Chem majors don’t get HUGE SALARIES!!!

[@davideanes3425]

We're gonna see a lot of 6 and 8 year players trying to milk the NIL money as long as they can...And I'm here for it.

[@pidouble145]

@ same!!!

[@KingKCA]

Arch got 7 and doesn’t even start. This is Quinn’s last year at Texas either way and he knows it.

[@davidcruze111]

Arch Manning would not have stayed at Texas if there wasn’t a guarantee of him starting next year. Quinn.Ewers knew that and so did arch.

[@Dryltd]

I see no problem here. Colleges have never been equal. Stop the delusion.

[@GhostPalace79]

Brou made this show so much better. Tough to listen to now.

[@DrPhill96]

Bye!!

[@kassandralondon9849]

Love hearing this show over the ones with Calvin in it

[@Juice5823]

Yeah I have to agree, Calvin is good but sometimes it feels like he has way too much energy and talks a little too much. I definitely miss Chris almost as much as I miss my ex 😂

[@kassandralondon9849]

@ you hit that right on the head that’s exactly the way I would describe it! lol

[@kcroyal5249]

He is to loud

[@realspitter2727]

Kelvin just agrees with Rob and is soft

[@Dominion-1]

1. Nahhh. 2. It's Kelvin. 😅

[@davidhampton5813]

Ohio State been paying 20 mil a year for players😂

[@NickCager]

Manning starts next year for Texas... should've started this year.

[@davideanes3425]

And should be playing more now in the playoffs

[@marcuswashington461]

Charles Barkley said he took a pay cut going to the NBA!!lol

[@Symbiote52]

Here is something that is misunderstood. Usually, coaches just can't leave the contracts without penalty. There is usually a "buyout" clause on both sides.

[@itismydump]

FYI for College Fans on the Full Ride Scholarship train.....the scholarships are privately funded through several athletics/alumni organizations. In fact, at the largest D1 institutions, the entire athletics department is privately funded. The scholarships are neither state nor federally funded. Only the department employee's salaries are paid with state funds if the school is public.

[@bennywatts4174]

Will he even get drafted if he declares? 😅

[@flyguy7825]

Yes why wouldn’t he?

[@nsd_respect]

He’s a second round pick at best.

[@metpach]

​@@flyguy7825because he'll be 24 years old. He's losing out on prime development years in the NFL if he waits too long. The money is nice, but he can make more in the nfl, but you're not going to make more of the nfl, if you lose out on years and reps.

[@flyguy7825]

@@metpach bro, not everybody is cut out to be a pro in the NFL. His career is not guaranteed in terms of success in the NFL guys who have won the Heisman have been some of the biggest bust ever or guys who are projected to go high never reached the potential people thought they were why not stay in college earn a check and build generational wealth before you get there I mean 24 years old is not old at all plus if he does sit, it’s only gonna be for maybe a year or two or three tell that to Jordan love tell that to Aaron Rodgers

[@metpach]

@@flyguy7825 We've turned college sports into something it was never intended to be. If he wants to stay and get paid that's fine. This is another grain of sand on the mountain. Everything about the system is flawed and breeds disloyalty, distrust, and will actually hurt the athletes in the end. But instead all everyone cares about is getting a bag and getting out.

[@drums3269]

Texas fan here. Manning is our starter next year. Ewers has had plenty of opportunities to prove he can win a Natty.

[@davideanes3425]

We thank him for his service and wish him the best on continued success.

[@petepyeatt6909]

Thank Goodness no more Chris Broussard.

[@redhood444]

Man ewers better stay in college and take the 6 mil he won’t see that in the nfl at his draft position he can always go to the nfl next year and get drafted in the 5th round

[@flyguy7825]

If I’m a college player Like Quinn Ewers i’m competing for national title every year. I’m on a loaded team of guys that will be 1st to 2nd round picks and they’re offering me that much money in a state that has no income tax and I’m sitting in developing in the pros. Hell yeah I would stay in college or consider my options and get my draft status up listen these guys are employees now I got no problems with that

[@davidcovington1046]

I agree

[@TechNHC]

I assume you thinking he’s going back to Texas…….not happening. He’s going to another school if he goes back to college

[@Ken-e4t]

I like the new format, with more call in auaduice,interact with the public..hmm

[@chrischilds368]

Let that man make his money. Get every dime you can get because you have a finite amount of time to earn that money.

[@lilmotown8109]

I’d be a 8 year senior 😂😂

[@sammaffey3565]

The old guy talks over everybody

[@jamesasmith2494]

First time watching and will probably be the last becaue he talks over everybody. He should value others opinion on an opinion show.

[@givem110]

Interesting how you chose him as an example and not the 6 different 5* qb busts of the last 4 years that got paid for absolutely nothing. At least quinn is a good QB and was the qb to bring Texas back.

[@franklee6746]

Yo, wasn't the time to have this conversation back when the NCAA was disallowing players from getting paid, and not after they got smacked down in federal court for doing so, and now risking hundred million dollar penalties for trying to impose rules on the situation unilaterally again?

[@brucewatkins2779]

Quinn Is Not Ready For The NFL**** One More Year*** Play-Out Your SENIOR YEAR*** Somewhere Else!! Take The DEAL…Enter The Portal…Elevate Your DRAFT STOCK Go To Colorado **** USC****Miami**** Get Yourself In A Good Successful System For That One Year!!

[@PleaseUseWashClothes]

You're correct he is not a NFL QB

[@YBtv12]

The House Settlement has set a cap for all Division 1 programs.

[@luddite4change449]

He would need to be the #5 pick or higher in the NFL draft for his first year rookie salary to exceed $6M. Is he going to be the #5 pick in the draft? Probably not. He might be the third or fourth best QB, but the top five teams don't all need a QB.

[@alexanderdawson476]

He needs to hold out for 8 million

[@herohour6496]

Who's paying these athletes 6 mill? Coca Cola?

[@tru3dialect]

Kerry rhodes cardinals legend

[@ejay2075]

I would love to see how much money my brother wouldve got paid when he played major college basketball.

[@qhamarii0]

I luv the free market ppl always looking for the institutions to tell what they can do smh im a person that believe the market will fix any problem

[@JoRa-rb9kz]

If they can make it legal, i think money colege football players earn through NIL & eventually revenue share should be tied to how many years they spend at the same university so teams are built with more players invested in that program's long term success. So freshmen qualify for the low end pay while.seniors are granted the hihjest pay. Nothing stopping a player from transfering to another school, but they will get dropped down to freshmen earning.

[@skywalker2759]

Man STOP IT lol you sound dumb If you are good enough as a freshman to get paid 4 million dollars then another school offers him 7 the next year he should be able to make his money Stop trying to control everything

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

My head explodes listening to Rob who knows nothing. Gymnastics have some of the highest nil deals in history. So no it's not just basketball and football.

[@jeffcrayton9596]

Quinn Ewers go to Ole Miss

[@ROBSTV813]

No more Chris??

[@TT-dv9er]

Arch is gonna want a pay raise for being a back up for 4 years. 3.6 million to be the back up.

[@jrgvsqz]

Arch is already a lock to be Texas' starter next season. Quinn will have to transfer.

[@Anthony-id6gu]

Its pretty awesome tho they are making money legally tho.

[@Nick-fc9xy]

Ewers won’t make 6mil in his entire NFL career

[@Solrac81]

Ewers played better when he had the mullet.

[@ektran4205]

ewers talent probably already topped out

[@MrMaloty]

Take the money 💰 10:15

[@lorinlovely4947]

He is trying to refer to collectives.

[@THEBIGFISHNEMO]

Old men talking about how much young men should make is comedy. Whole life revolves around gossiping on what others are doing. Ranking people’s abilities when no one ranks your is wild.

[@ejay2075]

Exactly. What are these dudes talking about

[@trushitmydog1420]

Gossiping? Man this is a professional environment now. It's public. Stop just talking just to talk. These things need to be discussed. Stop hating on people

[@jakelong6860]

Nil needs no regulation if he going to regulate anything. Regulate the whole tournament. It's just a money Ponzi scheme but you guys always focus on the players

[@kenyattaclay7666]

Do these guys not realize that what they are talking about is illegal & what hit the NCAA in trouble to begin with. The ONLY way you can set up any rules pertaining to salary & many of the other things they are talking about is for the players to have representation in the form of a union & have that collectively bargained otherwise it’s an antitrust violation.

[@metpach]

I'm all for nil. But, there has to be some sort of regulation that the NCAA and all these colleges have to agree to. We can't be having guys red shirt in the middle of the season, keep their eligibility, transfer and play until they're 24 years old. There needs to be some sort of cap on players, there needs to be some sort of parameters as far as eligibility. It's a clown show in the wild west.

[@JonathanRodriguez-li9jg]

Why should college athletes get paid

[@francisyang9997]

Ewers is guaranteed NFL bust if he goes 1st or 2nd round.

[@TeezyHadaBaby]

Yall sound really dumb with this Ohio State 20 million dollar roster crap. Outside of 3 players all of our starters have been there for years ANDDDD Texas and USC by far have the richest alumni and fan bases so Ohio State isn’t playing with more money than anyone.

[@nsd_respect]

General Booty will get more than $6 million

[@andreeldridge8457]

I’m glad Rob stopped the one caller because a player would gladly give up a $200k scholarship for a $1m NIL deal!

[@LEG2023]

Wow, you sound crazy everybody make exactly the same makes no sense whatsoever definitely un American that’s for sure so you’re saying the kicker would make the same as the quarterback or the third string offensive car would make the same as quarterback you sound insane

[@fromdeathtolife1993]

EWERS IS OVER RATED ...HIM AND THE COACH ALMOST COST THEM THE GAME... CUTE PLAY CALLING AND QB FORCING HIS PASSES TO PEOPLE THAT IS COVER AN NOT CHECKING THE BALL DOWN...

[@TechNHC]

Manning should’ve been starting for Texas from the beginning of the season

[@andreeldridge8457]

Oh the Hypocrisy 😳😳Rob always talks about pro players not having loyalty to their teams and how much he hates it. He said he was glad that Pat Riley shut down the reported Jimmy Butler trade request. Don’t the teams sign contracts with the players.? If you feel the players should honor the contract they sign, then shouldn’t the team honor it as well? Or it’s ok to trade them before the contract is up but they can’t request a trade🤷🏽‍♂️

[@JonathanRodriguez-li9jg]

Do you not see how bad player empowerment is in the NBA is right now no leadership just do what you want sitting out games kicking fans out left liberal leaning political bullshit and the play on the court is ass

[@2002S40]

Transfer and demand for the bag. He won't be able to make that much in the NFL.

[@johnvaters3353]

He needs to go pro. Arch is ready to take over right now. Quinn had issues with picks and fumbles. Sark had a weird loyalty to Quinn which is gonna get them smashed by Ohio State.

[@juan.ramiro.vasquez]

Agreed. I don't have a team in the CFP. But around these Austin parts, it seems as though Sark is proving to Arch that UT will stay with HIM in the future no matter what, therfore helping keep that kid in Austin. I do not agree with this approach if it's true, but as a B1G guy, I think it should get interesting. I learned to stop counting Texas out. Their ability to win somehow, with AM and Vandy, then Clemson and ASU, is shocking. As a retired fighter, no real men care about sloppy stats ( you know, " Moral Victories").... Ac win is a win. And somehow they win. Stats don't matter = does anybody care that Quinn Ewers had "so many more passing yards " than Georgia in the SEC Champ Game? No. Because they can't kick a field goal to save themselves and win the SEC in their first year. Instead, we ALL remember that UGA won. If Texas wins it all now, lots of people will need therapy. AND UT will be relieved. If they lose, it's almost like they're just waiting for next year. It's weird.
