Rather than have different threads on players transferring, perhaps we can use this thread to list the UH players and other players who announce they are transferring.
The only UH player to date that I am aware of who said he was transferring is Safety Teagan Wilk. I am sure they will be others in the coming days.
A couple of interesting announced transfers from other schools.
Micah Hudson, 5 freshman WR from Texas Tech. Had injuries his first year at TT.
Jaquaize Pettaway, 4 sophomore WR from Oklahoma. Pettaway played his high school ball at Langham Creek. Not sure what the issue was, but Pettaway minutes seemed to dwindle in Oklahoma’s receiver rotation.
According to 247, UH offered both Hudson and Pettaway coming out of high school. It may be worth reaching out to them to see if they are interested.
If colleges are going to pay kids 7 figures then lets throw in the towel now.
I was one of the first around here that thought that kids shoud get weekend pizza and hanburger money when the coaches were making high 6 figures. Within a organized agreement but this is gong to destroy college sports.
At the same time, there are some Jokers here That are passing around the collection plate asking us to throw in 20 bucks a week.
This is not sustainable
Meanwhile, In La La Land we go for an offside kick At the beginning of the game.
Yep if it’s millions we should just shut football down we can’t compete, fan base is lacking and donor base is small. I don’t think NIL is sustainable what ROI are these so called companies getting on their investment?
Preventing players from getting paid is against the law. It will be millions, so we will compete at the level we can fundraise. Even if direct payments by the schools becomes normal, players can still pursue NIL money.
ROI is seeing your school win if you are an individual donor/cooperative member. ROI is media exposure for companies signing NIL deals.
Cam Newton was paid between $300k and $400k…officially to play for Auburn. This was in 2010…Newton’s example is just one of many. It came out but you can be sure that the so called blue bloods have made identical payments for decades. These “payments” used to be under the table now they are in the open.
QB and maybe OL are the only positions worth spending on. The production from a WR getting 7 figures isn’t going to be exponentially better than guys getting much less.
People giving away their generational wealth for “their football team” is stupid.
Politicians have to love this. Money is being transferred from rich to poor and there is no longer as much of a threat for a large number of self sufficient families because they are foolishly giving their money away!
The only return for NIL is marketing opportunities in huge markets like Houston. THAT is where we become an NIL King!
Very true. This is a rich man’s game at this point. There may be a few multi-millionaire donors that can’t buy a professional franchise and they decide to play in this “college” football arena. If they strike a merchandise agreement with school, they may can even make money at it. They essentially run the program in terms of picking coaches, player’s salary and NIL deals, and marketing. A new model.
Tilman would need to resign as Chairman of the BOR in what I envisioned happening in the new era of semi-college football. And
I’m not sure he would be the best at doing it. His tenure as owner of the Rockets hasn’t been spectacular to this point.
You’ve got to be a proven winner with a big reach before the corporate side of Houston starts throwing money your way. Reliant isn’t paying a guy from a Hallmark Christmas movie the same as McConaughey to voice their commercials.
Jamal Shead received a huge corporate NIL deal and YES if UH is back up to H-Town Takeover level of success, they will invest!
Again, I already pointed out that BOTH Chevron and Memorial Hermann recently signed huge deals with UH Athletics when they had many pro options to choose from yet SELECTED UH.
