1. It is Wild Wild West currently. Teams are supposed to cap nil at $20.5 mil per season. Obviously some teams are exceeding this amount.

2. I do like being able to reach out and fine tune your needs. I clearly see why a General Manager is needed.

3. Nil and the portal will get coaches fired quicker. In the past, your pitch was I need a 10 year contract to build the program Not anymore. AD’s won’t be playing patty cake patty cake, build me a team in 5 years. Better do it in 3 or you’re gone.

4. I see the SEC growing to 24 teams. Playing 9 conference, 2 P4 1 G5. The growth is needed to fuel the nil dollars

5. I see ND, Michigan, OSU, USC, Indiana, Miami, Fl St, Penn St, moving over for the money

The. b10 is really a boring conference except for the above programs
I see college ball being organized like the NFL.

It will be great.

It’s unbelievable. You have no idea if your players are talking to another team or not. Kids can just jump in the portal at the last minute and destroying months of roster management.

I truly will probably drop college football soon. I hope these bitchy kids get cut and have to work at Burger King. It is all they are good for. Terrible human beings

shite like this doesn't even happen at the pro level. Why even have contracts if you're not going to honor them? And at least at the pro level it's not a one-year contract. What kind of bullshite is this? What dipshit came up with a one-year contract?

Everyone just does whatever the frick they feel like? This is pants on head ridiculous.

Exactly. I don’t even know why they call them contracts. A contract implies that both parties are bound by something, no? The players aren’t bound by anything!
