Exactly my point.
However there is zero incentive - in truth a huge disincentive - to the NFL creating a minor league/development league system.
Traditional CFB as it existed for the past 125 years or so is dead at the major college level. Fortunately there’s still DII and DIII keeping the flame of intercollegiate competition burning.
I wonder if the miniNFL that the SEC is turning into will allow some of the hundreds of billions of revenue they will be raking in over the next few years to trickle down to the lower levels.
Sadly, I could see the whole house of cards collapse under its own weight if overall economic conditions crash in the near future. Might make Lanier’s prediction earlier ITT look pretty prophetic.

I like hearing Kyle Whittingham talk publically, and at Crimson Club functions and its in some part why I have the opinion that I do. He's been predicting a huge shift and consolidation of conferences for at least three years because of TV money. He's shared privately at the Crimson Club functions that he was concerned about the PAC-12 as a conference. Utah and Oregon are the only schools that sell out their football games in the PAC-12 consistiently, and football keep the lights on for everyone.

Will we see a high school draft?
It would make things far more fair, but it cannot and will not happen. You can't force a kid to go to a school (where he will be taking classes) when that school may not have the academic programs he wants. (Yes, there are still some HS football players interested in getting a degree). What if a kid has a 4.0 and a 34 ACT? What if he WANTS to go to Vandy? You gonna force him to go to Miss St?
quote:
Will teams have salary caps that are donation only?
No. NIL isn't funded by the school, but by private third parties. These third parties do not really care what school the kid is at - they just want to use his name to sell products. Of course, it could be that some third parties have an affiliation with a school (alums) and try to entice recruits with deals. I can picture Nike outbidding everyone and tons of 5 stars going to Oregon. This could be a real problem and needs to be rectified. A draft would fix this problem, but it won't happen for the reason I mentioned above.
quote:
With the revenue from NIL there is no way we can make a firm level playing field let alone start bidding wars.
I suspect there will be rules implemented to stop NIL deals prior to signing day. How this will be enforced I do not know. These third parties are not part of the NCAA and there's not shite NCAA can do to them even if they break the rules.
Jimbo Fisher said at SEC media days that "NIL has always been part of college football" and he's right. If it happens anyway, let's stop pretending and make it legal. I am cool with that. Only issue I have with it is the potential to entice recruits before signing day. I am not sure how to solve this problem.

The NFL is a state issued monopoly. So….. either force them to do it or deregulate the business. It’s such an easy thing to do. I’ve never understood why we’ve allowed this to happen. Of course, the level of college football would decrease, but college baseball is still competitive and puts kids in the MLB.

It looks like the NFC South.

Probably broken away from the NCAA . Scholarship reduced to around 60 and each player having a salary of 20 or 30 thousand. The most likely playoff scenario of 12 teams from the best three conferences. SEC, ACC, & BIG 10. I think the pac 12 will die off and the big 3 will absorb the bigger schools from the pac-12 like USC. The other smaller conferences will form there on playoff and national championships. Which they should've done a long time ago

NFL rules will change about guys having to be 3 years removed from high school to play in the NFL. A G league type league will form that pays more than NIL money, and all the elite players will go there until draft eligible. In the meantime college teams will get left with scraps to field a team with, and trot out QBs like this:
