Why not? Are there not human beings who have values that supersede money?
Fewer millions here, more millions there. . . . I hope there are men and women who evaluate differently other than just dollar amount.
You’re actually correct, I overreacted to a few dumb posts. 40+ posts in and there are only 3-4 idiots. Proud of most people understanding the kid’s choice.
I assume he is an athlete that they will figure out where he fits best type kid. Lots of good offers. I get why he went to Kansas though. Wish him luck. His dad is a nice guy
You'd recommend your kid turn down a million to play for 1/20th of that somewhere else? I'd recommend he have his brain examined if he did that. Isn't there a point where you'd be stupid not to take the money?
Are you saying that KU offered a 3* lb a milly??? Where they gettin' that cash??? I would love to have the kid, but...
It depends on values. What's important to him. My god, money means so little in the overall scheme of life on our Earth. JMHO. Your opinion is what is is.
We are talking about a lot of money. To say that someone who takes the choice of economic security is selfish or lacks values might be taking it a step too far.

Yeah once KU get their facilities upgrade they will be every bit the threat KSU is. They are already pretty much the same as us w/l wise.
KSU is a bigger rival than KU. They just are. Only playing for Iowa would sting more than playing for KSU.
It would be interesting if the NIL $ would have to be reported because there's so much bs out there. I was told KU doesn't use any NIL for incoming freshmen. Also heard A&M didn't end up paying what they promised, so a ton of players left, but now a bunch more are going there. There's no structure or rules. Seems a little out of control.
I agree with this. It's the young folks that think you always chase the dollar IMO.
That's not what I read there. Some people go into careers where they might make less money but be more happy than other higher paying fields where they probably would be very successful. People can have differing values while still having values. The post you quoted didn't say anything about no values nor did it say anything about selfishness.
Values is an overused buzz word. This is like an employer saying they are a family not a workforce. It feels like an excuse to underpay your employees.
