If a player signs an NIL deal and decides to terminate it, they are ineligible for NIL for one season. |

Every year is a new Free Agent period for the entire football team these days. I just don't know how you're doing anything but rooting for laundry at that point. But for my affiliation with the University (went to school here, grandparents taught here for about 80 years between them, wife works for them) I just don't know that I'd care at all. I don't understand how T-Shirt fans still exist at all. |

I don't think it's enforceable, especially now considering the FTC basically did away with them. They really need an actual regulatory board for college athletics that sets a standard across all college sports.

It’s a loss, but I’m not sure there’s a better WR room in the country than can absorb this as Mizzou’s. I’m bullish on Marquis Johnson. I think he’s the best receiver in the country that doesn’t have a potato chip line named after him.

I agree with what you're saying though. It reminds me of a line from Mass Effect 3 of all things. When the protagonist asks why he's been chosen for the mission, his commanding officer tells him, "You can pay a soldier to fire a gun, you can pay him to take a hill, but you can't pay him to believe." That's what the open system of payment and athletes as employees has laid bare-a transactional relationship where the players are mercenaries not part of the campus. You can pay a guy like this kid, but you can't pay him to rep the school the way Sean Weatherspoon did. |

And Ennis Rakestraw -- same story. And...{sigh}...Brady Cook. Kid's gonna be a 5 year player and 3 year starter who's probably going to throw for 10,000 yards as a Tiger. He'll be comfortably 3rd all time in passing yards for the program. But I worry we'll get fewer and fewer of those guys. And hey, a TON of credit to Luther Burden. He's gonna give us 3 years and go in the 1st round, which is all you could ever ask. And Theo Wease, who didn't start here but was a huge mentor for the young WRs and is coming back for 2024. Mookie's never quite broken out the way I expected but he's gonna play 4 seasons here. The current Mizzou squad has quite a few guys that seem to love the program. The new NIL laws in Missouri help us get guys in the door out of HS, but once they're here we're on the same footing as anyone else. And Drink deserves a bunch of credit for apparently having these guys really buy into the program. My next "trueson" candidate is gonna be Brett Norfleet. I think he's a guy the fans are going to love and he's gonna be here for the duration. |

I'm so excited for Chiefs and Mizzou football! I'm tempering my expectations on Mizzou though lol. Mizzou is probably the most cursed school in college and would hate to get my hopes too high just to have them crushed. |

The thicker kicker lost out in the Panthers kicker competition and was released. Will he kept picked up elsewhere?
