I understood they were two different kickers. Malphurs was great in first half kicking south to north (all were out of the end zone). Kicking north to south were only to goal line. Then he started over compensating and kicked two OB going into the south and another one (last KO) going north. The OBs are the second worst thing that can happen putting the ball at the 35. That is why I thought he was also inconsistent like Morgan was on FG/PATs.
Short of a couple balls he pushed in the first half he showed excellent accuracy and touch. He didn’t get rattled in the pocket, nor did he panic and make stupid mistakes getting rid of the ball. All in all a very promising start.
I liked your analysis.. edited to save space..
I still think the NIL rules need to change, by adding a compensation to the school that signed, educated and trained up the transferring player. If you sign our player out of the portal, you pay us 50% of the NIL payment.
Allow the school to set the transfer fee like the European Soccer Teams do.
Transfer payments are a great, great idea. Signing contracts needs to happen. This is getting out of control.
I don't remember us kicking any out of bounds also.
If you do that then you will need them to sign an actual contract. Those release clause terms are contractually agreed upon by the team and player. And I'm fine with that as we are headed to a place where the athlete is considered an employee of the university (IDK, maybe that has already been settled in a court somewhere). If the NCAA limiting the number of scholarships is a violation of antitrust then that basically means the athlete is a contractor and thus employed by the university as such. TU could set a minimum limit that the NIL needed to release a TU athlete from their contract with the school is $100k but that a transfer fee equal to the NIL fee offered is required to release them. Instead of a player signing an LOI, they sign a 4 year contract with a school option for the 5th to cover the RS year if needed. You add the release clause, the value of the scholarship, the value of NIL, and the value of the total cost of attendance as terms. This of course would mean TU would have to up its NIL game to players off the bat. I mean, TU could be the trendsetter and do it now as this is where pro college athletics is headed anyway. I'm shocked we haven't seen contracts yet at some of the bigger schools saying the same thing.
It is what it is...
Correct! This NIL garbage isn’t being handled the way it should have been. Instead of taking part of the proceeds of the money coming in from your name image and likeness they are just putting players on contracts. The P4 can pay more out or I should say the boosters of the P4 can pay more so they will be able to poach the talent.
Two kickoffs went out of bounds. Coach Wilson chewed the kid out a bit after the first one, but not as bad as he chewed out the other kicker with the missed PAT.
