It's a game. Working out and practice are part of that game. So is playing skool.

I'm "working" on improving my golf game. Work.. LMAO.

Your golf game doesn’t generate billions of dollars in revenues nor require one to risk life and limb and put in ungodly amount of hours and time into it does it?

And it’s still work….very hard, physical, dangerous, time consuming work- in a multi-billion dollar a year sports entertainment industry.

It's still a game in the NFL, but they are paid for it, because of the revenue they generate.

The problem isn't NIL, it's the total lack of guiderails.

Lots of jobs are purely entertainment.  Authors, film editors, artists.  Life would go on without them, but it would be a lot less enjoyable

Someone is going to hire that kid.  Lots of schools desperate for a QB.

For some of them, that work is their job training / application for the next stage of the game. That job might be playing a game, but it's a hell of a lot of work to play that game. 

For others, that work is the "job" that they do to pay for their education. You go to your job to pay for your housing/food/golf game. They go to their job to pay for their housing/food/school.

work, in [color=var(--link-color)]physics[/color], measure of [color=var(--link-color)]energy[/color] transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external [color=var(--link-color)]force[/color] at least part of which is applied in the direction of the [color=var(--link-color)]displacement[/color]. If the force is constant, work may be computed by multiplying the length of the path by the component of the force acting along the path. To express this concept mathematically, the work W is equal to the force f times the distance d, or W = fd. If the force is being exerted at an angle θ to the displacement, the work done is W = fd cos θ. Work done on a body is accomplished not only by a displacement of the body as a whole from one place to another but also, for example, by compressing a [color=var(--link-color)]gas[/color], by rotating a shaft, and even by causing invisible motions of the particles within a body by an external [color=var(--link-color)]magnetic[/color] force.

yup. teams are always going to be desperate for QB's....and will always over pay for them and over look obvious flaws just in the hopes of getting a competent one. happens in the NFL every single year via the draft where QBs are drafted higher than they should be. just the nature of the beast and shows you the importance of the position. in the game of football if you don't have a competent QB you are fucked, point blank period.

the way I look at the portal is it's good for plugging a couple of holes here and there- but that's it. should never be loading up on portal guys and should only use it sparingly to plug some holes or add a little depth.

if you are a program and you have players that are constantly hitting the portal that means you're probably recruiting the wrong type of kids from the wrong type of families or it hints that there is something very wrong with the coaching staff or internals of the program.

And if you're constantly using the portal to build your entire team....you're going to have a weak team filled with weak people that isn't bonded and will fold the second it faces adversity....see: Florida State this year or Colorado last year.

And if you're constantly using the portal to find a starting QB every single season like Notre Dame has been the past two seasons now, you're not going to have any kind of continuity, identity, or rhythm on offense. That stuff takes time to build with a QB, hard to build it when you have a new portal QB every season.

This thing is still all about recruiting the right kind of kids in HS that work hard buy into the team concept and are coachable and willing to put in the work to develop. And it takes a lot of hard work to develop into a great football player, it doesn't just happen.

Overall I agree, but Lincoln Riley is the case of a coach that can bring in a string of 1-year QBs and have great success with them.  But he may be the only one.

The guy who replaced Sluka went 13-16 for 182 yards, 3 TD and 0 INT, plus 119 rushing yards and another TD.

Ricky White had his best game of the season, 10 receptions, 127 yards, and 2 TDs, and then after the game said to pay that $100k to the OL.  Thinking Sluka's people maybe screwed this one up.
