I read he heard anywhere from round two to five and that he wants to bet on himself that he will be a day two pick.

Who’s Miami getting with Ward going to the NFL?
Someone said they were going to be in on Malachi Nelson, but that’s a huge gamble for a program
No agent, so he can still come back. Given how needy teams are for QBs, he’s a second rounder at worst.I read he heard anywhere from round two to five and that he wants to bet on himself that he will be a day two pick.
Cameron Ward declares for 2024 NFL Draft
Ward — the top quarterback on the market — took visits to Miami and Florida State.
Unsure if he’s what Sean P. is after at QB.
Entrusting a QB whose only accomplishments at the college level is going 1-3 for 0 yards against San Jose State is an insane gamble for a program like Miami.
I believe he was off the Michigan State team in October, so his “transfer” was already in the can for a while now.
I thought it was leaked out that they didn't make good on all the NIL $$$ promises that they made.
Explains the first transfer, but there are many now transferring again. It’s like the whole class was tainted in College Station.
Was that a rhetorical question?

In over the summer, the IRS started sniffing around A&M's 12th Man+ NIL fund, sending a letter in August putting their 501(c)(3) status is jeopardy and indicating that they would be taxing donations. Also, this fund was part of the school's foundation. In June, the NCAA stepped in saying schools could not operate their own collectives, but Texas state law was changed to permit that, however federal taxes issues remained a problem. 501(c)(3) donations for charities, schools, and general scholarships are deductible; but not for paying targeted individual deals or sports-related deals. Therefore, A&M immediately shut the NIL fund down.
They launched a new fund in September with Texas Aggies United. Under this fund, all donations were taxed. Businesses may be able to write-off some taxes, if they get advertising or something like that out of it. Rumors were that individuals later taxed under the old fund, were very upset. Thus, the new fund had a shortfall, and A&M could not honor most of the NIL deals. They just do not have the money.
Texas A&M shuts down controversial 12th Man+ NIL Fund after IRS threatens foundation's nonprofit status
The 12th Man+ Fund was the first internal organization created for NIL fundraising
Yeah, but to repeat: why are so many of them transferring a second time?
I think if I ever saw 'Yell Leader' on a resume, I'd quickly move to the next one.
I think it's more about what Prime has been vocal about wanting to avoid- college players chasing the bag before having proven themselves, then not putting in the work to earn that paycheck. Most of that class has underachieved relative to their rankings so far, and there were some locker room issues last season.
They did not pay the money.
This makes me sad
College football is big business. Like all enterprises, many actors behave without any scruples. This is especially true for many folks for whom college football is religion.
