Huard and the other backups were terrible last year (Huard wasn't done any favors by that trash offensive scheme and play caller) and Penix is more of a playmaker and has experience in Deboer's offense from Indiana.

He was always gonna be the starter there.

Whoa! Had no idea he transferred to Washington.

I remember first seeing it and thinking he was making a bad decision since it didnt feel like he was guaranteed to start. He was magical that one year at IU.,

Don’t think Cade is Trevor but if DJ is only marginally better, you have to roll with the freshman.

Cade ain’t Trevor, but DJ ain’t even Kelly Bryant either.

Welcome to the party

 

[witnesskb24]

Penix had a great year and then was very mediocre, I can’t remember if he got hurt or something

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Think he got hurt every year

Welcome to the party

Whoever is running this generic *** program has to be making bank. There have been so many teams with the exact same “Player Statement” under a generic “Region-Specific NIL Club” name all off-season.

I’m really curious know what percent of the contributions actually end up in the pockets of the athletes.

Wasn’t Huard supposed to be U-Dub’s savior?

 

[casper90403]

Thats all I kept hearing. Huard is a legacy. Its his job to lose. No way he loses this job.

The percent thing was an issue with usc actually. We had a massive nil program but the fine print said you could only designate 50% of your donation to a specific sport and not to a specific athlete. The other 50% went to a general NIL fund that paid athletes in other sports and for NIL staff salaries and overhead.

Boosters revolted and started a separate collective and the USC fund/program immediately changed it where you can allocate 100% of donations to a specific sport or athlete.

That was the word all 2020. アミーゴ and I watched some of his high school game highlights and decided he wasn’t it though and that’s proven true.

However アミーゴ is a BIG fan of Ty Buchner and Ty Buchner’s mom.

This group in particular with the new UCLA “collective” has a pretty clear copy/paste website where all of the money goes directly to the football team.

Looks like the group is called YOKE and takes an 18% cut of all proceeds.

Spoiler

Looks like USC’s isn’t live yet based on the look of the page, but they have their own version coming soon.

Hmm. Los Angeles NIL club isn’t our big NIL program. We have two: “BLVD” and “Student Body Right.”

I’ve never heard of Los Angeles NIL club so it could be something a random collection of fans or boosters put together. It could also be a scam. Those all could be, as I’ve heard some of the SEC schools have already been hit by those.

 

[witnesskb24]

I sure was about to buy tickets to Ohio State/Notre Dame to go with the homie that’s a ND fan. $450 for nosebleeds before all the extra fees

 

[newbs24]

Michigan players just launched their YOKE website as well... Interesting to see if it will work

Exactly why I said “whoever is running this generic *** program has to be making bank”…this “NIL Club” isn’t anybody’s big or main NIL program.

It’s not even boosters or fans putting these together, it’s just some random company trying to get fans to donate at least $50k per month and taking 18% off the top.

 

[newbs24]

Mick Assaf and Nic Weishar who played at ND are 2 of the 3 founders...

Calzada lost the Auburn job to TJ Finley and Robbie Ashford...

Big oof.

 

[MVP]

Gigantic waste of money

Looks like Penix's biggest issue will be staying on the field, I'm looking forward to seeing him open the season as I haven't seen any highlights of his from Indiana.
