Yeah, I didn’t make that clear at all. Not insane for them to offer it. I’m sure they can. It’d be nuts for him to take it. Risking the possibility of making 9 figures over a career for a de facto guaranteed 1 year deal plus insurance should be a total non-starter for him.

So why can't OSU offer him an insurance policy funded by their NIL collective?

Why would someone at the tippy top of their sport want to play anywhere but in the best league?

True. True.

Can they buy it for him directly or would they have to just work it into however payments are made to the player? Seems silly not to be able to.

Ohio St. sucks too...

That’s insane if true. As the 4th pick last year, which must be close to Harrison’s landing spot, Anthony Richardson got a signing bonus of 21 mil over the life of the deal. So, what, 6 mil a year or so with salary included? Better be a stronga$$ insurance policy involved as well.

They would be short-sighted to stay, imo. More likely to hurt draft position than help and always the possibility of injury. They should go pro.

Agreed.  Plus that NFL pension is amazing.  Start on the pension plan asap

I think the NFL will need to change how they do guaranteed money on rookie contracts if they want to prevent this from being a real problem

I don't think you'll see the NFL be influenced by collegiate players decisions to stay an additional year. The inherent risk is 100% on the players and if they don't get injured they'll still be there the next year. If they get hurt then an NFL franchise just saved themselves $. Players would be making a bad business decision to stay if their draft stock is as high as it can be, i.e. Harrison.

Watt makes my point for me. You're essentially keeping yourself an extra year from getting the veteran contract which is where the even real-er money is.

8 of the last 9 Maxwell winners have won the Heisman. Looking good.

Still remember how Anthony Thompson got stiffed on winning the Heisman.   :-(

I agree with your sentiment, but he never would have achieved this success had he remained at IU.

Here we go again. When FSU got shafted I thought that would be what pushed them out of the ACC since they had already been looking to get out. At very least there would be rumors about it. Here are the rumors:

https://spartanswire.usatoday.com/2023/12/08/rumor-florida-state-working-to-leave-acc-for-big-ten-within-next-month/

If they do leave, CFP committee may have just killed the ACC if this happens. 1/2 of the ACC was already looking to leave and the ACC would become that much weaker without FSU and it was already weak enough that an undefeated ACC wasn't good enough to get into the CFP over 2 11-loss teams.
