Potential CBA agreement between Tenner and the basketball team:

Let's call it what it is and that's professional sports using the university name to generate a fanbase. They are no longer students but employees who won't be required to attend class or work toward a degree. What other university employees are required to attend class?
This is the final nail in my view. Kirby Smart has already discussed the fact the physicality is no longer there because these Prima Donnas are terrified of being injured and missing their bling.
Establish a (insert number here) team conference, break the conference into divisions, have a draft, take the division winners, have wild cards and there you have the playoff system with no biases or emotions involved in the selection of the playoff teams.

THIS ... is how you spin ....
LSU admin and political apparatus in La. take note.

"We're paying them to play sports," White said. "We're doing that because we lost several court cases that said we're violating antitrust law by not doing so. We need to accept our legal reality. By not accepting it, we've created this system that's the most inefficient way I can think of for building rosters and organizing this thing."

That’s the opposite of spin?

I can't wait for the entire system to implode.

Just waiting for the day all of this comes to head in basketball, where the NCAA still controls the actual tournament. Declaring an entire team void of academic eligibility because none of them attended class will lead to a shitstorm of lawsuits.
When the dust settles, either things will approach a semblance or normalcy or college athletics will move from "barely recognizable" to "shite's fricked."

They can have employees all they want, they just can't compete in the NCAA without academic eligibility. They would also still have to have appropriate eligibility to start playing in the SEC. They can't flunk out of HS and play as an employee in the SEC.

NEW: Tennessee AD Danny White negotiated a mock collective bargaining agreement with the Vols basketball team, @AndyStaples reports.
Some agreed-upon terms included a hard salary cap and a salary floor, postseason revenue sharing with players and bonus money for players who stay longer than two years.
per ON3
I dont see what so bad about this? Seems like this is a good thing

Not to be a smart arse but have you not been keeping up with all of the wild court rulings? The courts have said in essence "NCAA, you can't have rules.". I would assume that would apply to individual conferences as well.
Allowed Chambliss to play at OM. Allowed Pavia an extra year of eligibility.
It's done. Put together a 64 team super conference, allow each NFL team to have two farm teams under the university banner strictly for fan support (otherwise you have minor league baseball and Arena Football), draft and assign players, assign slot values and a salary cap and move on.

Honestly DIV II is a more pure form of college football.
