We have a "special" fan who is whining because he can't watch Austin play, and that Austin is ruining his bowl game experience. He is also arguing that there is no difference for Austin at all. So sad.

He's practically admitted he is not a Tigers fan.
I suspect he's an $EC frontrunner.

I don't know about lies, but your position and statements regarding Mr. Austin are offensive, insulting, rude, crass, unbecoming of a fan and disloyal. IMHO.

IMHO you deserve to be insulted because you have insulted the program. again just IMHO.

Please let me know if you don't feel insulted and I'd be glad to up the rhetoric.

Record and stats from the bowl game count towards the regular season. Try again Billy Bob.

So when you sign a NIL deal, do you automatically assume post-season play?
And the deal covers this? Or is there a post season bonus involved?
Not sure how these work, but you evidently know the ins and outs.

They do call it "POST SEASON" by the way.

Now if he decides to come back next season, then as a fan I'm not liking that decision - and as a coach I might not allow it.

If he sits the bowl game because of risk of injury----how is playing the senior bowl any different ---is injury in the senior bowl prohibited ? Just asking ?

No, I don't see much difference other than he's hoping the senior bowl is a try-out of sorts to help him at the next level that also involves association with agents, pro coaches etc. His decision is becoming more the norm, unfortunately, but I won't lose sleep over it.

One big difference is the Senior Bowl is played February 5th. That’s a lot of healing, recovery and conditioning difference. A friend on the staff shared that Calvin could not be 100% for Dec 24th.

Not sure the Senior Bowl carries a lot of weight with scouts but skill players do stand out.

One Draft site had him listed as the number 15 WR which would likely give a late round call. He has logged a 4.3 40. Evals give him good scores on all speed and skill drills. He gets high marks for his routs and above average on his hands.

He is short at maybe 5’8. Weight is maybe 165.

The numbers he has put up makes him an intriguing option to many teams looking for that extra 3rd down WR.

Again. Getting back to 100% is very important.

I do the tax and planning work for several college athletes with NIL deals. The deals cannot be pay for play in terms of “I will give you X deal if you come to Memphis”. But they can be tied to on field performance, games played in etc. once a player is on campus it really doesn’t become pay for play because they are already there. The business is paying for the player’s name, image and likeness which is driven by games played and performance.

RE: Austin Opting Out
Yeah, since it's supposedly market-driven value, the $$ would almost have to have some fluidity based upon performance. A starter with a NIL deal gets hurt in preseason and is out for the year, sees his value plummet (Gunnell). A player has a big year, and the team crashes the playoffs (Cincy football) would see his value increase.

But the only point I'm making is the goofy position that CA3 owes the Wing Guru a refund for sitting out a bowl game that they were never even guaranteed to attend.
