re: Why are some fan bases scared of the NCAA losing power?

The reason so many Bama and UGA fans hate the next paradigm in this sport is because now everyone can do what they’ve been doing. They are losing their advantage. It’s like when they created March Madness and suddenly the dynasties ended over night. The days of Wooden and Saban winning a rigged playoff are over.

As for the poster claiming UGA hasn’t paid players. Dude, you are being laughed at by even UGA fans. I’m in south Georgia and have several former UGA players in my inner circle who are still connected to Kirby (from here). They love to talk about Kirby finally bringing in the bag man system which took them to the next level unlike Richt. They especially laugh at how inexact it is because the QB’s they paid didn’t do it, but a walk on did.

People like you have been saying this same stupid shite for the past 15 years, making all these stupid rules you claim to be "in favor of the little guys", and every fricking time the rich get richer.

The reality is you can go to the top schools and your shitty school and the difference in what they can legitimately offer any player is apparent. Not in back room deals or whatever, but just in the support and facilities.

Where in the actual frick do you think the money that paid for those facilities came from? At what point was anything stopping your school, your boosters or anyone else from spending money on these things? Why do you not have the highest paid coach in the sport right now? These are all things your school and boosters could have been spending money on for the past 100 years and didn't. Despite getting hand outs from the better teams in the conference with shared revenue.

And yet here you are ignorantly pretending that this latest bit of spending to be allowed is somehow going to magically turn your team into a contender. Now suddenly your boosters are going to spend millions of dollars on your program.

No, what's going to happen is the people with money will just change where they spend the money and the rich are going to get richer. The things that actually gave your school a chance will slowly disappear. It doesn't matter how much money your fan base has, what matters is how much they are willing to spend.

And you'll just find some other dumbass excuse as to why the top teams are even more dominate to avoid the reality yet again. Probably turn around and make the next round of rules based on a fantasy outlook, while telling everyone who points out why it's a bad idea they are just scared. Because you sure as hell couldn't make a real argument.
