Riola's tape looks really good, but I dont think you pay a freshman that much.   NU probably has something to say but not the final. I'm guessing we don't have $2m to pay any qb. 

I believe we do have that type of money it's just the decision if you want to pay that for the quality of qb you want to get.  Obviously Nebraska and the fans have suffered bc of the losing and piss poor choices Nebraska has made.

Like I said I don't think we have that much for 1 player.

 

I do think we have that might for one player.  It seems likely that we had something close to that number for two players.

This money goes out to several players in different sports - men & women. 

 

It does go to both.  But not equally.

Yep. You would definitely give him an extension and pay raise before it’s official if that was the case. SMDH

Not shooting the messenger.

 

Just saying that I doubt Syracuse ponied up $2M.  So it seems unlikely.

Did he sign with Syracuse?

What’s unlikely, that McCord was trying to get $2M from us?

Hasn't signed anywhere.

Well we were talking about McCord, not DR. And IIRC back at the first go with Raiola people were talking $8M+ in NIL for him.

 

I guess my whole point is, how are we supposed to have any idea what the pay scale is or should be. It’s all conjecture and hearsay.

Its about what someone will pay.

That was my point.

Trying to figure out what @Mavric thought was unlikely about what I posted.

And if that was truth that he wanted 2 million to be the qb we should have given that to him.  I love the White Sox's but they hate paying to get talented added to their team and try to go the cheap out which is why they love to lose.  More times then not the teams that spend win.

Agreed. So the idea is a team like Nebraska with no QBs to speak of, $2M is out of line for an experienced proven guy like McCord? 
 

If that’s really the case, I guess we can just prepare for another season of HH and CP.

I haven't seen another team linked to McCord that I would say can comfortably spend $2 mil on a one year rental.

I do not believe it was just about the money.

It was also probably the guarantee from the coaches that he wanted to be the starter and Nebraska told him well we got the number one qb in the nation that also wants the spot so whoever is the best will get the job and be the starter.  But I just think McCord should have been named the starter and it's his to lose the spot and the others to gain it from him not to be on a even playing field bc it's fair or the Nebraska way of doing things.

So is Casey Thompson in the mix or is that wishful thinking? Very odd to see him come back to visit friends in the middle of December of all the possible times to swing through.

We have only heard of one team(Syracuse) but there are probably several power 5 teams behind the scenes that are willing to pay that much to him and guarantee him to be their starter.

Shows he's a grad student.  Is this old or new? 

 

Or a different Casey Thompson?
