I think getting Tacario would make up for Muhammed, but even if we don't get him, as you said, plenty of talent on the roster, they're just lean on experience.

One of the 5* kids is gonna have to start, won’t be the first time and I don’t think we can hold on to many of them moving forward if they don’t start right away due to NIL anyway.

I'm not sure having a transfer that is not familiar with the system

Well it's a brand new system, so a guy that has been here a year will know as much as a transfer (unless the transfer is from Wash or South Alabama)

better than having a 5? that has been here a year.

But DeBoer hasn't brought anybody from his defensive staff in so far. His offense was great, but not his defense, so he may be looking at a 4-2-5 defense, but it will be run by different people. Also that base defense is not unique.

For a defense that seems to like playing some quarters and cover 3, I think size at corner is useful.

Nothing they can do now. The Alston case only ruled that the NCAA does not have the authority to prevent NIL. But the judges made it clear they would prevent basically anyone who attempts to hinder a player in regard to NIL. Basically, they are waiting on the NCAA, state, or college from trying. The left door open or set a trap basically.

Another court in December basically did the same thing in regard to the transfer portal using the same premise. The only thing here is move the transfer window to a time that easier for all to manage like maybe late spring and they may no longer have that opportunity. But limiting the number of times a player can transfer, sitting out a year, and needing a reason to transfer is no longer an option.

Multimillion dollar coaching salaries and multibillion dollar TV deals created this.

The only out now is contracts(employees) and without union representation that will not happen. Once that does CFB will be completely done as well as other sports.

To many people have gotten rich off these players. Now the Sherman Act is being applied to them and not a thing any conference or those in charge will change that. The players have the full backing of the law/courts.

That is one problem they are going to have to deal with Title IX. The left politically is pushing for athletes to be employees. The Dept of Labor is beating the drum for it and using CA as a spring board. They want all athletes no matter the sport to be classified as employees. They are not to allow it be sport specific and they can not legally.

Every major institution that receives federal money has to apply certain rules across the board. Which is basically every DI program. Employees at these said institutions also fall under Title IX. Once these athletes becomes employees even as a contract employee Title IX will govern how they get paid.

Unionization and contracts will not remove Title IX from the equation. Yes it may help roster management for football and even basketball to some extent but it will have to apply to every sport including financial distributions.



I agree there is some benefits via contracts but what coach

Right now the Dept of Labor along with union support is trying to classify every athlete, revenue or non revenue, as employees. Once they all become employees for the university they will still fall under Title IX governance

What that means is they may not get the same deal but what will happen no matter whether the athlete is from a non revenue sport or has no NIL value they will all still have to get paid by the university. Under Title IX the university will not be able to discriminate meaning it does not take into consideration the athlete's value. Just like right now it does not take into consideration that football needs more allotted scholarships due to roster requirements, especially safety. Hence why many colleges do not have certain men's olympic or other non revenue sports.

The structure may be different to some extent but right now no university is paying athletes outside of their scholarship and many universities will struggle to pay all their athletes including those from non revenue sports to not violate Title IX.

It is not being dense to understand the reason the NCAA is helpless right now is because of the Sherman Act the same issue will hinder universities under Title IX.
