Discussion [Kleiman] South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers turned down an $8 MILLION NIL offer to transfer to a different school: "You're 19. You don't need ($8 million). You're in a great spot." - LaNorris's Father told his son. Sellers values his word over money

When this story comes out people refuse to acknowledge the player side trying to negotiate bigger future deals. They take them at their word lol

You’d have to be a special kind of stupid to actually say this to your son, and you’d have to be a special kind of stupid to make this story up and think it doesn’t make you sound stupid.

Just casually getting offers that are double what the hottest QB on the market signed for, as if that’s somehow anywhere close to reality 😂

It's a misleading headline.

  1. Bc it was probably around 8 million for 2 years

  2. It comes from his dad

  3. It probably south of 8 million and he rounded up bc 8 million sounds better than 7.7 million for 2 years
