This genie ain’t ever going to go back in the bottle no matter how many fans demand it on message boards, because the courts are 100% on the players’ side here. It is what it is. We adapt or die. It’s that simple.
Courts can dictate that players have the right to make money off their NI&L, but they can't dictate the contractual obligations between schools, players, the NCAA, and sponsors.
I've said it umpteen times: the entire rosters of the Patriots, Titans, and Falcons didn't suddenly become free agents when their coaches left. Alabama's roster shouldn't be either. It makes absolutely no sense to give college kids a benefit that the pros don't even have.

If a player can successfully argue “restraint of trade” issues the courts absolutely can dictate those things, and as noted they are awfully sympathetic to those arguments these days.
Someone on the Rant the other day tried to tell me that the USSC in its 9-0, nonpartisan ruling that opened the door to this “violated NCAA rules,” like they care six cacas about NCAA rules.
I don’t like this stuff anymore than you or anyone else grinding about it, but it is what it is and it will sort itself out. It should be the final thing that convinces people once and for all that in 2024, this is a business, nothing more or less.

And following up, the reason the pro teams don’t become free agents at the end of the season is that they have agreed to things that prevent that in collective bargaining in which the players and teams both had a voice. People here want it to go back to the way it’s always been because they liked it and they think players should be satisfied in this billion dollar business with four years of schooling, but that ship has irrevocably sailed.

I saw a tweet today that UW has 1 player returning on offense. Their entire roster is gone. Insane.
