Five-star WR Evan Stewart foregoing rest of senior year to prepare for college football
Five-star wide receiver Evan Stewart announced Tuesday that he is foregoing the rest of his senior year to prepare for college football.
Not that anyone thought it would. Is he somehow already getting NIL dollars from one or more of these schools?

I understand these thoughts, but things like this don't really matter any more. Does anyone in the NFL care that Bosa did the same thing in his last year of college (I know he was injured, but possibly could have come back late in the season)? Does anyone in the NFL care that Parsons didn't play last year? As long as they perform, the answer is no. If this guy goes to Bama and tears it up, no one will care, except maybe some of his former HS teammates. That's the reality we are in.
The next trend that is going to play out will be kids not committing early and waiting for the NIL bids to come in for their services. There will be agents representing high school kids, steering them to the highest bidder.Five-star WR Evan Stewart foregoing rest of senior year to prepare for college football

I am genuinely surprised this has not happened yet. Maybe it has and we just don't know it.
right...and why not? The schools can't do it directly but a local car dealership (as soon as chips are available) certainly can.
ohio state university. Respect my decision.”
well, it is not unlike the NBA's direct to pro without going to college program. There will be some fits and starts. There will be some successes and failures. In the end, we'll see some kind of programs put together.
well, that is no joke!“I am pleased to announce that I am taking my talents to Anderson Honda. I mean, THE.

These kids are just greedy. But hey, greed is good right?
I suspect the NFL would not be in favor of this; they don't want to establish farm teams for kids under 20 when they already have big-time college football programs which will help them develop.
it is! hey, while it may ruin my Saturday afternoon, some poor kid is making money. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So you are 100% in favor of NIL and kids leaving HS early? Based on your previous posts, it doesn't seem like it.
Yes, I am. it doesn't make me happy but who am I? Just some guy that may find some minor inconvenience on select Saturday afternoons. In the meantime, some 18 year old kid is making money off of old farts that are trying to exploit his NIL instead of the university.
I don't know how many are really going to get this treatment. Maybe 5 or 10 max each year? Maybe the big schools do this for their stud QB or skill position guy. We supposedly have a 5 star interior lineman in next year's class, I doubt McLanahan's is rushing to throw his face up around the store over a starting running back. Reminds me a bit of the NFL draft; opportunities for the first round skill guys, everyone else can get to work.
Agreed...this is going to end with college kids unionized and after a Collective Bargaining Agreement has been struck between that Union and what we now know as the NCAA
Very interesting observation. But honestly I think that it's just the tip of the iceberg. Just imagine a professor or coach having to deal with a handful of 20 year old athletes who were given mid-six figure signing bonuses while driving in brand new BMW's.
And dealing with those providing the bounty. What do you mean he's not starting? I didn't give him a Beemer to sit!
Mainstreaming bagmen and boosters...what could go wrong?
Bingo. College material athletes in Georgia are exploring ways to accelerate their high school academics to get to the money. I would reasonably assume that such an effort will include looking for the highest bidders at the college level. PSU had better get prepared or they will be run over by the top teams.
If it truly ruins your Saturday afternoons, this entire thing could kill the golden goose and take college sports in its current form with it. Therefore, NIL won't matter.
I dunno, I mean it makes sense. They are told that the chances of making it are like a gazillion to one, and now someone says, forget that, the odds of making some bank Now remove that uncertainty entirely. I think the buyers are a lot stupider than the sellers.
ahh...life finds a way. if it isn't college, it will be a minor league of some type. Too much money to be had. I really believe the players will unionize and we'll have a CBA within five years.
I could care less about someone (the NFL) caring or not. It is flat out wrong. It really does matter. Decisions like this should not be okay based on what someone else did. It tells me that he does not want to compete. That he doesn't have that fire. That he will not be there when needed. And, he is really selfish. He has to live with himself and his decisions. Of course, he might eventually do this with a lot of money. Does that make it right? No Does that make it acceptable? Maybe. Does that make it smart? Probably
You forgot the celebration of his 3 Heisman trophies.
