Now that Rhule is gone, Chubba knows he's not getting a second contract anywhere.

Honestly, I can understand the case for prior revenue sports stars. Chuba ran for over 2000 yards in a season at Oklahoma State. Had he been eligible for NIL endorsements he would've been able to cash in for some serious coin. A female track athlete though? That's a harder sell IMO. I know that LSU gymnast is making bank but let's be honest, it's not because of her athletic pursuits.

Chuba is an above average back. If he works on his catching, he'll be in the league for awhile.  So, the longevity of his career might be literally in his hands. As for his running, he had the exact same average that Miles Sanders had last year. Just saying.

They don't wanna hear that. They just wanna trash Chuba.

Uuuhhh, yeah...

Reminds me of how they always said beauty pageant swimsuit competitions were about showing the poise of the contestants. I can't remember a time when me or any other guy checked out a Miss USA contestant in her bikini and said "Damn! Nice poise"

As far as Hubbard though, I'd say he's probably got an uphill battle trying to make money that technically wasn't available yet.

If he were to win this, how many other athletes would files similar suits?

That might not necessarily be the best place for it to be

The suit is about that the money should've been available.

Probably a LOT.

Honestly, it would probably be the end of the NCAA and if that's the case then good riddance.

Fug the NCAA. I hope Hubbard wins. Best of luck to him and the other plaintiff.

Just hope he doesn't end up dropping the case.

How far are they going to run this thing back? Some stud WR who played in the 80s going to try and get some cash next?

Yep. I mean life's not fair, and timing affects everyone. What else is going to happen - MLB players from the 80's suing because the pot got bigger? We all wish for optimal circumstances, and we all have our gripes, but that doesn't mean you can always get what you want - or what others have gotten, fair or not.
