That's probably mostly true. I wonder if there is something that could work, though. Maybe something like:
I won't pretend to understand all of the legal ramifications and requirements, but #2 is clearly where the rubber meets the road. I have a non-compete clause in my contract at my job. And in fact, I believe it says that I can't even work in another industry if doing so would "negatively affect my job performance", where job performance is determined by the employer. Or from another angle, a local sheriff's deputy recently reached a separation agreement with her department when another officer complained about her OnlyFans page. The department claimed that it "brought negative attention to the department".
Once you have an employment contract with the athletes and you are paying them a significant amount, I think the legal power probably shift significantly toward the schools.
- New structure in place that reverses amateurism rules so schools can pay athletes directly
- All student/athlete contracts require rejecting funds from other sources
- Schools pay more than the booster slush funds

I see Illingworth only played in two games this year. So doesn't that mean that with the 2020 Covid year, he's still got four years of eligibility left? That makes it even more interesting that he wasn't willing to wait for Spencer Sanders to leave. Maybe he thinks Spencer will be here two more years, and by that time he'll be competing with Gunnar.
I guess I'm saying maybe it's not such a bad thing if he's leaving because he thinks we've got good QBs he doesn't want to risk competing against.

Why haven't you read the portal explanations? We were way over on players on scholarship with COVID seniors now counting against the limit of 85. We had to have some reductions. We needed room for our highest rated recruiting class ever to come in, too. So just stop with the handwringing. We have only one or two openings now even after all the losses to the portal. Only a very few players who are leaving will be missed.
