Hard to believe but in his defense he made it thru the season uninjured and deep into the playoffs. So that might be worth something in his contract

who tf is offering the guy $8 million for one season? Bryce Underwood at $10 million for 4 seasons seems like a deal in comparison.

Not sure who Chip Brown is or if he's a rock of journalistic integrity

Final number once Ellison got involved was closer to $15 million.  Which still seems like a deal if it's a 4 year contract.  Aidan Chiles made over $2 million this year

Chip Brown is a local Austin guy, has been with Scout and 247 and and others over the years, not sure if he's currently affiliated with anyone of note.  He used to have insider info into the Texas program because he was tight with Mack Brown (no relation), but ever since Mack Brown left, he's notorious for being obnoxiously wrong about just about everything.

I sincerely doubt Quinn Ewers had a 1-year offer for $8M, or even the $6M earlier reported.  3-4, from a really wealthy program like Oregon?  Maybe.  I could see it.  But 6-8 is ridonculous.

FSU would probably offer a percentage of the gate for a decent QB.  Michigan, too.  Don't underestimate the desperation of these programs.

Lawyers in Miami had a lot more experience getting obviously-guilty defendants off back in the 80s than they do now.

Once again, I'll point out that revenue sharing/direct pay-for-play, and NIL, are two entirely different things.
