I hope it burns all the way down for a season. Then we'll see things change.

The problem is no matter what rules you devise, there’s simply no way to enforce it.

You can find a solution to a problem such as that but too many people are happy the way it is and they find no reason to make changes.

He is the reason everyone wanted NIL so badly.

Some of the best coaches came from high school.

Don’t pretend that Texas hadn’t cheated all these years

Listen, I'm a huge LSU fan and I'm not a Saban fan at all, but if you think Saban was the only one paying players, you don't know much about college football.

The reality is college football has been one of the dirtiest/corrupt businesses for many, many, many years. The problem is the NCAA was well aware of it, but decided to turn the other way because the coffers were overflowing. Do you remember MLB and the steroid situation and how that situation finally imploded? This situation is very similar.

I hear people say what needs to be to fix the problem, but the reality is nothing is being done and for good reason. The conference that attempts to slow this situation is basically committing suicide to all of its sports. The reality is it's all about money and if a conference attempts to make a stand, the athletes (and their family, agents, NIL team) will simply jump to another conference, who will pay them an enormous amount of money to come join its team!

We’re just getting to the spicy part of this production:
The first few classes to get NIL $ are going to start getting pushed out by incoming freshmen bonus babies.

Next chapter? Lawsuits. Lots & lots of frivolous lawsuits. Some not so frivolous, but ridiculous anyway

Texas was getting beat out by used car lots, so evidently Texas wasn’t cheating enough. How’s that.

I’ve never gone from respect to despise so fast as in the case of Nick Saban.

He reminds me of James Comey.

I could fix it in 5 minutes, no money for players, no more Scholarships, if you sell your name or image, GREAT, but your school will be paced on Probation for your actions.

Then I would ask the DOJ to investigate the Judge shopping being done to get these judgments, that is BRIBERY, lots of money to be made by lawyers, WINK WINK, you want a half million pay day judge?

Take away the scholarships and the Judges/Lawyers/ LIBERALS running these systems in these cities where they are suing would all be like, thats OK, keep giving those scholarships to minorities.

The NCAA is a private Org. and can set their own rules. The NCAA was imho, in cahoots with those lawyers.
