His picture was on the stadium, but he treated me (a career backup) like I was the most important guy on the team. He was a top ten pick, but worked like he went undrafted. Luke is an inspiration. Grateful to call you friend

Edgerrin James was an amazing teammate. When guys struggle in the NFL (as I did in Indy) its often a lonely place, guys are focused on their own situation. Edge checked on me, listened to me. Real teammates are rare, Edge was one of the realest.

EVERY single recruiting expert I interview (which is almost daily), says NIL is the
#1
question asked by recruits. It is the
#1
driver of recruiting decisions. There are other factors, but NIL is far and away
#1
. A sad state of affairs.
🚨FAKE NEWS🚨”OSU didn’t MISS OUT” on any kid just chasing NIL money! Maybe that kid missed out on a opportunity to be apart of something amazing that’s going to last longer than any amount of money! Maybe that kid MISSED OUT on OSU! 🤷🏾♂️ maybe get the facts straight.

I really want to love this. But do we really believe he would stay if he wasn’t getting paid significant $? Pay for play advocates will say keeping Burke is a win. I see it as cheapening of “loyalty”. Don’t try and sell us on something it isn’t.

This is gross. Fans are being held hostage by their NIL collective? We are building a system that encourages gold diggers. Better buy this guys merch, or pay this collective or he’s going elsewhere?! Weaponized recruiting via NIL is exactly what we were told NIL isn’t. But it is
I will never tell anyone where to spend their hard earned dollars... that's not free market
But what I will say is that if OSU doesn't start raising more NIL $$$ nobody had better complain about not getting elite players
The game has changed in the last 5 years

Ole Miss is slowing facilities upgrades to buy players, while Kansas is spending $448M on a stadium upgrade. Will be an interesting case study in the coming years. (Despite my personal convictions against it, I think buying players is the logical choice). Great interview
Ole Miss’ AD recently discussed how the need for NIL $ (and potential direct revenue sharing with athletes in the future) has affected plans to renovate the football stadium.
We’ve seen a number of ADs say the same thing now.
Athlete comp is taking precedence over facilities.
