2 Indiana FB players have entered the portal, Tyrik McDaniel & Nahji Logan thus far. Neither were a factor for PT this season.
I think the UNLV kid was raked over the coals because he said he was doing it solely due to money. These are not starters and aren't doing it based on money. Or at least one would surmise.How come our guys who left after a few games aren't raked over the coals like the UNLV kid? Aren't they pretty much the same thing? Other than the no. of snaps and the UNLV guy may have had a case about not getting paid.

I'm just saying this is probably happening all over the country, guys leaving their team and saving a redshirt.
And there's no reason to say the UNLV kid owed his school any more than any other kid who's pulling the exact same stunt.
In fact, if the UNLV kid is telling the truth, he has an even better case to hit the road, if they reneged on a deal. It cost him significant money and (if his side is true) screwed him. Third teamers can't even make that case. Especially if they also had a NIL deal and it was paid.
Not bagging on our guys at all. I wish them well. Hope they find a spot.
OK - my OT crap is over. Sorry to veer the thread off. Back on topic...
What money?Was rooting for the guy. Oh well. I think it sucks.
Guess he keeps the money.
What are the specifics of that deal? Do we know or just assuming/guessing?His NIL deal.
I would guess it depends how we structure his payments. Seem to need milestone payments for not transferring.What are the specifics of that deal? Do we know or just assuming/guessing?
Yeah, dunno. Just saying he was paid or he doesn't return from the portal last winter when other schools were known to be bidding. Per Cig last winter when discussing him being back in the fold, 'word on the street was Florida State'.What are the specifics of that deal? Do we know or just assuming/guessing?
Would bet a large sum he ends up a Boilermaker. Seems that type.
Kentucky and Michigan were after him the hardest, visited them both. also had an in-home with Purdue.Yeah, dunno.

So, while he may be doing something different, to me it looks like - 'get paid to train, get bigger, stronger, faster, then take a redshirt year, leaving Indiana'.
I'm speculating. I can't knock him without facts. Speculating.
I am aware of that. That's why I said get paid to train, get stronger, faster, coached up. Then leave, taking a redshirt year....
He has a redshirt available if he stops playing right now. He's played in 4 of IU's 5 games, if he were to play another snap this year his college eligibility would be over at the conclusion of the season. Given that McCulley isn't in the rotation makes sense to redshirt and use his last year elsewhere next season. Could have theoretically redshirted at IU this year
If so, probably with a new coach. Walter's isn't going to make it.Nice. Takes the money, doesn’t meet the challenging from coach, bolts.

We would anyone willingly go to that shit show?If so, probably with a new coach.
If he wants to be assured of playing time he might be better off dropping to a lower level. Maybe MAC conference. If he's as good as he thinks he is, the pros will find him.Kentucky and Michigan were after him the hardest, visited them both. also had an in-home with Purdue.

Doesn’t matter. It was already allocated. Won’t hurt next up.Do we get our money back? Or, at least prorated over 4 games? I’m totally serious. I have no clue how these guys are paid? Lump sum, quarterly, monthly, weekly, by game? Please enlighten this old codger.
