We should split the field and cut to 64 teams in FBS. It's only going to get worse for the small schools.

It has and will totally change football as we have known it. Don't know why that is hard concept to understand since it already has done so.


Yeah, but you said fans wouldn’t keep coming back to it year after year. And yet, with it already being a pro sport, high profile programs are generating more money than ever.

We should enforce the rules and use NIL to reward established athletes who build a reputation for themselves on the field.

If we would just pay them for using their name or image. What ever that may be. Not this bullshite we have with Gordon paying players.

I also think that this thing will fix itself, the money tree is not infinite. Eventually the investment will have to pay a return to the investor. The new will wear off and business will return to normal. I dont think Gordon will find that paying a lineman 50k a year has the same return as another radio ad, TV ad or billboards for his business.

It definitely made the cost of business go up for Alabama. A Dodge Challenger is no longer going to be enough.

NIL is not what I expected. I thought it would just be businesses offering to put a player on a poster to advertise or something. Not Millions into a large pool of money to give out. I was never for it either.

Once you let the genie out of the bottle, enforcement of guidelines will be a nightmare... even if they create viable guidelines.

The beginning of the end was when coaches started getting paid ridiculous amounts of money. Hard to then go against the "poor student athlete without a dollar" narrative.

I do think they should participate in revenues in some way. Whatever the school's cut is from gate receipts, merch licensing and TV contracts...a certain percentage should be divided up between the athletes and kept in a trust to disburse after they're done playing. As for "equity" among all school athletes...the notion the volleyball player should participate like the starting QB is ridiculous. If your sport doesn't generate revenue, then be glad they provide you a free uniform.

But schools themselves wouldn't like that. Instead of athletes dipping into their profits, they prefer to get people to donate to "collectives" and have athletes get what they can get on their own...as long as it's not theirs. But that can't really be controlled...so you get this current flustercuck.
It's a too rich for their own good jockstrap sniffers dream.
