He only has OU by the balls because OU is kowtowing to his

actions. Best thing OU could do is wish him well and move on. Say this kid does comes back to OU after they find him some more NIL money - what then? Will the coaches ever really trust him not to pull this garbage again?

To me, Williams is damaged goods as it is obvious his family is pushing him to go elsewhere in search of NIL money - don't buy that "best prepare me for the NFL" BS... Any kid who is the designated starter on a big boy football, that has a record of putting QB's in the pros and having a shot at the playoffs every year ain't leaving because he is worried about making it to the NFL. Nope - he's leaving because some folks have gotten in his ear and are whispering "chase the money now" at the expense of everything else.

There's Oil In Them Durr Hills - in Oklahoma

Jan 3, 2022, 10:44 PM

Some of that oil money will probably find it's way to the Williams account and he will announce "i'm staying with my brothers" or something cheesy! When everyone knows what's up!

SMH - again! NIL is good for the athlete if they have done something in college football. Some unintended bad things can and is also happening to many college athletes as well as a result of this plus the portal.
The folks who say: "ya'll are too old school won't acknowledge the fact there are kids being told lies in order for them to leave school(another form of negative recruiting) but b/c nothing is in writing - they end up with no school"! Next thing you know; they having to walk on somewhere. That promise maker did their job because they weakened a rivals roster(depth). They don't care what happens to the kid after. Had that same kid stayed they could have completed their degree; which they could have for the rest of their life. The average NFL career is 3.5 years and that's not at the highest pay scale more than likely.

Kids went from being exploited so it's been said!
To now, they are being "pawned" in this game of make my roster strong and other rosters weak! Look at the number of kids who enter the portal without schools!
