I am no longer interested in college sports. 2019 was glorious. Long live the GOATs.

Need a minor league system then they can get drafted and get salary capped and developed for the nfl. If they want to use colleges then they can’t leave until 3 years or draft eligible. Junior or redshirt sophomore.

I'm so tired of hearing about the poor players who weren't paid for years. They got free tuition, free room, free food that was the best on campus, free tutoring, free everything else, and the chance to graduate and get a multi-million dollar contract straight out of school.

Something has to be done to calm down the wild wild west. If these players can cross the street for a quarter without ramifications, they absolutely will. No one can blame them for doing it, because they CAN.

If you want to be a professional and get paid professional money, then you need to be prepared to act like a professional.

Stop referring to them as “kids” or “students.” These are professional athletes and they must abide by their contracts or face the consequences.

I would like some more info on NIL spending rankings among men’s “college” sports. How far off is Baseball from Football and how far off is Soccer.

It's about time someone stepped up and did this.

Good. Every school needs to start enforcing this in order to save the sport.

Stuff is out of control. Hoping to see the irony: Ark buys a player who was "contracted to play at another university". LOL

I don’t see the appeal in what has become minor league sports anymore. Pining for the BCS say it ain’t so.

All these thoughts in the comments miss the bigger point. NCAA had lawyers fighting this for 25 years minimum. The fact that the higher education centers can't come up with a system that works for everyone involved insane. They had a chance to do the right thing. The people making money off football since its inception were not interested in paying players. Now the players get a piece, and no one has any idea how to make it work for everyone. Sounds batshit crazy if you ask me.

The players were extremely fairly compensated.

The players always got their fair share. My company makes 40. mill a year and I am involved in every dollar of that. I get 70K in salary and they don't pay for my living arrangements, don't pay my utilities, didn't pay one dime of education expenses, don't provide me a personal trainer, a chef and free buffets of food.

Let it burn completely down to the ground I don’t care anymore. These entitled athletes need to start earning their keep the old fashioned way.

Every single person at the ncaa should be horse whipped.

Seems like the ncaa was taken to court for trying to reign in this shite. Everyone applauded the schools for going after them and winning. This is what happens when Pandora’s box gets open. Congrats I guess.

The NCAA was never built onto paying players. Blaming them is a bit absurd.
user avatar
What is absurd is, for decades, making billions of dollars off of these kids on a non-guaranteed contract.

This could really backfire on Arkansas. They could come off looking like the bad guy.

On what planet?

How? Kid got offered and said yes. Something needs to be done to control this nonsense.

They’ll be applauded among the fans but won’t help them bring in players….itll take some of the bigger schools to join in on this to make a difference which none will willingly put themselves at a disadvantage

Nick was right.
