It is interesting to think about...given some states have a decent state tax (not counting local) at/near 10% or higher, if this would ever factor into decision-making by the player. Zero state income tax in Florida, Texas, Tennessee, etc. vs some of these states listed below.... Brendan Sorsby goes to Texas Tech and pays $0 state income tax for his $5M one year deal. He would have lost $665K in state taxes alone had he went to USC. Perhaps the agents/lawyers help them through the state residency issues to avoid that kind of hit.

Wouldn't the benefit be waiving state/local tax only? My guess is that the feds will want their piece of the pie. 9 states do not have state income tax....doesn't this put Mississippi on even ground with them? (for NIL income) Note football states like Texas and Florida have no state income tax.

I'm not disagreeing the level of coaching matters...certainly has with Darnold. Darnold was a far more accomplished as a passer at USC than Richardson was at Florida. Can't believe you compare them in that fashion. Richardson was taken in a draft that was not that deep with QB's (especially after the first 2 taken and the verdict is very much still to be determined for each of them) and his athleticism stood out...not his passing and processing abilities. Can coaches help with this...sure? Enough to make him a solid NFL starter....we shall see. But to compare Darnold and Richardson's passing resume's as equal is not correct Coach.

Surprises with this list? It’s from a poll Josh Pate ran a few days ago…not at all stating scientific

Impressive

Ohio State LB’s running sub 4.5 40’s….both Styles and Reese over 240lbs Good Googamooga!!

You are a ND fan with green eyes and you are biased. I’m saying BOTH teams share in this series falling apart. Your bias prevents ND from having any accountability…any ownership. It’s not factual

Darnold skill sets far exceed Richardson. He's not exactly tearing it up with McCarthy's development. Atlanta....as much as I like Penix, jury still very much in deliberation. But I do agree....he would absolutely require a QB guru.

No different than ND knowing USC would not go for the game late in the season...not to mention Big 10 schedules are fixed. Why in the world would USC use their bye week in the Big 10 to play ND late in the season? Both teams wouldn't budge....we shall see if ND feels that can continue to set terms with scheduling as an independent. Less and less teams see any reason to play them. Teams that are open to playing ND have their non-conference games typically before conference begins.

??? Why? Do you have connections to the AD's office with scheduling? I can same the exact same for ND pushing a late in the season game to fit their needs, knowing USC after playing a long Big 10 season would never go for it. Bottom line, both schools wouldn't compromise and they both have ownership in the series falling apart.

That wasn't just USC...that goes on both schools. Completely understand why USC didn't want to play ND late in the season. They offered up week 1. ND said no. Let's be fair with that statement.

If true, going all in…..

Rack it! 🎤 drop

The man had a vision….

Maybe….could be having fun with Illinois statehouse. They had to know their chances were far less than 50/50.

Coach, all you have to do is bring your own food and shack up with someone when visiting Indy. That will show those money stealing bastards!!

well rounded and open minded....that is definitely you.

Cosplay....you do have the lingo down.....impressive

ok...whatever you say? What's your planned costume this year?
