How much would a third string freshman QB on a 3-9 team really command?  I guess the calculus is that he needs to see the field early, even if it is for a G5 or an FCS team, so as to show his value as a later transfer to a major school for the NIL money, but I have to wonder whether despite some very highly publicized exception, the modal pathway for players like this is bench on a middling FBs team to toiling in obscurity as a middling starter on an FCS team, and never transferring  back to the big time for big NIL money.

I’ve said it before, but we don’t need to be part of this.  It is sad to me that when modern collegiate athletics runs cross current to our academic mission, we are so willing to bend the latter.
