For anyone that thinks Clemson is paying players...


May 9, 2019, 11:09 PM

Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, and Austin Bryant were all projected to get drafted last year. Some expected to go pretty highly. While we can’t speculate on hypotheticals, let’s look at the facts:

2019 NFL Rookie Contracts:
Clelin Ferrell - $31.4 Million
Christian Wilkins - $15.4 Million
Dexter Lawrence - $13.2 Million
Austin Bryant - $3+ Million

Now, no one can say that this is the position that they would have been drafted last year, but you’re trying to convince that ANYONE and ANY college football program can afford a “payday” this big for student-athletes? Get real. These men chose to come back for a reason, and it sure wasn’t about money. They came back because of culture, legacy, and winning a championship. They did all of those things. They did all of those things without dirty money.

No institution, no matter how dirty, could supply this financial incentive to players.

Coots gonna coot, and dawgs are gonna sniff butts. But be real. They all turned down this (expected) money for the result on the field. No donor has pockets that deep. No program has a culture as deep.

Go Tigers.

There are donors with pockets that deep, they didn't get the deep pockets by being stupid.

Why even start threads like this? You actually add fuel to the non issue.

Nobody rational/credible thinks Clemson is paying players

I'm not really sure why you felt the need to spend time addressing it.

Some people are just plain miserable, or crazy, or negative, or conspiracy theorists, etc...

They all have one thing in common......NONE of them are successful CEO's, Business Owners, Leaders, or successful in life, etc... They're life's losers.

Ignore the "little people" and don't let them rent space in your head.

Plus Dexter wasn’t eligible to go the NFL last year so technically he didn’t “come back”.
