re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

It’ll come crashing down again. All it takes is for one 5 million dollar roster to exist the tourney in the first round. NCAAT is too unpredictable to continue spending that type of money year-after-year.

These NIL numbers need to get back to reasonable amounts and the only way that happens is if the worst offenders get burned multiple times. That, and making the athletes employees that have 2-3 yr contracts.

Being a college sports fan in 2024 is like being married to someone having a midlife crisis.

I love what we had, but I don’t love anything about what’s happening right now. I’m just not quite ready to leave yet due to the memory of what was.

And I'm a pretty conservative guy, but this current “no contracts, unlimited transfer” era is gonna get me ranting about unregulated capitalism like a senior with purple hair on the quad.

To be clear, I don’t blame the athletes, they’re just chasing a check based on the rules and the opportunities available. The NCAA and the federal courts are the ones who broke collegiate athletics and I don’t see how it gets fixed without federal legislation at this point.
