I would keep Grier's and the rest of their pictures up in a prominent place explaining how they abandoned their Teammates, Coaches, University, and Financial Supporters(boosters, fans, taxpayers, etc.).If I ran WVU football, Grier's picture would appear nowhere going forward. He's the QB and he's jumping ship. Wow. And Holgorsen seems okay with it.
We’ll, count me out of that last group. I’m not THAT desperate.No, devalued as in, no one cares except for the people making $$$ on the games (and us desperate fans wishing the season would last forever).
Do these rookie contracts cover the five years? So, in essence, their “yearly” salary would be that figure divided by 5? Subtracting any signing bonus first?Contract $$ for 2018 NFL first round draft choices.

I have heard of no players in the playoffs not playing.Someone from a CFP team is not playing?
The fifth year is a team option IIRC.Do these rookie contracts cover the five years? So, in essence, their “yearly” salary would be that figure divided by 5? Subtracting any signing bonus first?

Not sure. Some of the contracts seem to be for 4 years. Divide the total by 4 would be my guess.Do these rookie contracts cover the five years? So, in essence, their “yearly” salary would be that figure divided by 5? Subtracting any signing bonus first?

The entire college football culture shift probably plays a part. When players and coaches move around as much as they do today, it is no wonder that the sense of "family" has been eroded. Grier, for example, is a free agent. He never wanted to play for WVU - he just landed there. Gary, at UM, was an NFL player waiting for his turn. He went to UM to prepare for the NFL, not to become a Wolverine.I know people hate to hear this but this is a result of not paying players. I’m not about to get into what I think about the paying players issue but with the way players are viewing sports as a business now, this is a result.
That makes sense. Last year they can either renegotiate a longer term deal or take the same salary for year five and then become free agent.Not sure. Some of the contracts seem to be for 4 years. Divide the total by 4 would be my guess.
I hate to see players jump ship before their final game.
I may have a new favorite non-Bama player
Is it just me, or does it seem that LSU produces more of these guys than other schools?I hate to see players jump ship before their final game.
(sez a lot about the player)
LSU puts a lot of talent into the NFL. They don't always have the best attitude, but they can play footballIs it just me, or does it seem that LSU produces more of these guys than other schools?
