No one is forcing the schools to sign the contracts that the coaches agent

Students chose to take out the loans. No one forced them either.**

Blah, blah. People - including me - have been saying this for decades.**

A buyout IS honoring the contract
Beerman • 10/27/25 09:32 AM ET
In what way doesn’t it document anything else?

every week they are proving you wrong.. at this moment in Time- Kelly's
bigbadbird • 10/27/25 09:32 AM ET
Can't argue with that...but then again I have no idea what your point is.
marcbvtgm • 10/27/25 11:38 AM ET

Incentive
jphelan133 • 10/27/25 10:13 AM ET

marcbvtgm • 10/27/25 11:42 AM ET
I just think its a different world now that schools are paying players.
kingofcassell • 10/27/25 12:13 PM ET
AD has to honor it. **
TomTurkey • 10/27/25 09:08 AM ET
not unless they sign half year contracts - they all deserve each other**
