Former South Alabama quarterback Gio Lopez, one of the top passers in the spring transfer portal, has committed to North Carolina, he announced on social media Thursday.
The No. 6 available transfer in ESPN's spring portal rankings, Lopez lands as an immediate front-runner to claim the Tar Heels' starting quarterback job under first-year coach Bill Belichick. Per sources, Lopez will join North Carolina on a two-year, $4 million contract with three seasons of remaining eligibility after a breakout redshirt freshman season in 2024.
“A 2 year, $4M contract”?? What does that mean? Bill giving out contracts now? Good lord. We are in a new era.
Even the news is just gonna start reporting, “QB A in the transfer portal joins SEC School on a 3 year, $5M contract.”

Aren't all NIL deals contracts? You think they just giving kids $4M and hopes he stays for those two years? These pay for play deals have to have some binding contracts... but maybe some don't and that's why you see all the one year players.

They need a collective bargaining agreement.

No shite ESPN, they're not paying him $2 million a year to be a backup.
