Show Notes
The Athletic's David Ubben joins Andy to discuss a Georgia defender and wide receiver heavy first round of the NFL draft. Why was only one quarterback taken? How different will the class at that position be next year? Meanwhile, a situation involving Miami basketball gets the guys talking about how something like this will inevitably happen in football. The Hurricanes just took a transfer from Kansas State and a donor signed the player to a $400,000-a-year NIL deal. Now Miami's current best player wants to renegotiate and he's threatening to hit the transfer portal before Sunday's deadline if that doesn't happen. How soon until this very situation comes to football, and are NIL collectives prioritizing shiny new things over old reliable things in a way that will come back to bite them?
