It all boils down to the CBA, in my opinion. Then again, couldn't he declare, do whatever the team needs during the lockout and take sone classes at Stanford? Not be on the team, of course. But just take some classes? He says he loves college life.

That sounds silly now that I read it. So yeah...if he thinks the CBA will get inked he'll come out. If he thinks there's going to be a long work stoppage, he'll go back.

Then others say it's all about Harbaugh. He may not want to play for anyone else.

Random thought of the day: Over the years in my football Career I've learned one of the biggest signs of hard work and commitment is strength and agility gained over the years in the weightroom. I went back and looked at Luck's rivals profile from 2008 and he's gained 20 pounds over the years without losing his speed. I know there's a difference between a true player and a weightroom fanatic (Marvin Austin) but at my time in App I've seen weight room success usually translate into hard working players with a drive to be great.

my .02 of the day

I predict we will hear one way or the other on January 10th.

Yea I would say Monday or Tuesday as well. The Harbaugh stuff will carry to late Thurs or Fri so there wont be time for Luck to get a press conference in till Monday or Tuesday....

I dont think the press conference thing has anything to do with it- Luck said he was going to think and talk to his parents abut it over the weekend.

I dont think Harbaugh staying at Stanford or not will effect the decision he reaches.

Nobody will know officially until Luck has his press conference where he says one way or the other. These kids like their moment to shine, and a presser to declare does just that. Thats what I meant, that won't happen until Harbaugh says one way or the other....

CBA or no CBA, wouldn't he stand to make more money coming out now? Even if there is no football in 2011 and CBA is agreed on in 2012, what makes everyone think that year will be big cash out for rookies? If anything, he will LOSE money because he can't get any higher on the draft boards and it is more likely for him to lose draft positions.

This is why I think all things considered (Harbaugh leaving, losing a ton of talent, chance of injuring himself and losing draft positions etc etc....) he declares. The kid isn't stupid, he will make the right decision for his future, and it certainly seems like that decision is heading to the NFL.....

They can agree to contract terms, and yes it has been done before.

I think this year might just be an anomaly in that the Panthers will know well ahead of time that they are taking Luck, but no contract will be negotiated because of the CBA.

      Unc Basketball thread

      By toldozer · Posted

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
