After 30 years you come to the conclusion that Arkansas never had it in them to get better in football.
Arkansas use to be a respected football program but now they are just picking up a check in the SEC.
Baseball is a lot more interesting because the school didn't try and screw it over. It wasn't a big revenue provider and they left DVH to himself which never happened in football. So it thrived as it was left a lone to grow.
Basketball, the brass ruined it and it took a lot of effort but they did a fine job. Muss has done well but Arkansas fans are well trained in the art of expected disasters.

Yet here you are making unsupported assertions that NIL will damage college football. You have provided no evidence that it will, but are asserting your opinion as fact. You stated:

Can you please explain how this will work?

And if so, how does that work if the commercial never gets shot?
This NIL could be opening up a whole new can of worms, and IMO could quite possibly be nothing more than letting schools off the hook who are already doing this type of thing but find it increasingly more difficult to keep it under wraps.
Am I worried about what CFB is becoming? As a lifelong CFB fan, I am quite concerned about the NIL and the tinkering with playoffs relative to a bowl system that used to be a highlight of the sport, but now has become an after thought.
Money and greed is the ruination of all things, and college football is a microcosm of the downfall of this country over the last 100-plus years.

I don't think it will change as much in college football as people think. Once a hierarchy is established in football, it is extremely difficult to climb the ladder.

Let the players have fun and not worry a bout how much money they should be making. That is what amateur sports is a bout. Just love playing the game.
Now once it gets to the pros, it is a job.

NO, I cannot explain it but denying them the right to earn money is BS.
I can't explain how DAK made 180 million either in one year.
What's to explain. They can earn whatever it is they can earn.

Nothing wrong with golf. A sport that I should have played as it is a game of patience and focus.

A lot of questions and not enough answers.

Big business or little business canNOT contact high school recruits. PERIOD.
Once on campus they can hire an agent and make any deal they want.

Ok, for starters, let's clarify how NIL will most definitely NOT work.
The commercial that you're going to have your recruit in will not mention the name of your school, nor will the recruit be able to wear any team gear or even the school logo on a shirt.
Go back and check the Scott Cochran/Nick Saban Regions Bank commercial. Alabama is not mentioned anywhere in the commercial, nor are Cochran and Saban wearing the school logo.
There are virtually no high school recruits who have the name recognition necessary to make any kind of money without being somehow being tied to your school in the commercial.
In the situation you described, it would be a legal agreement between the rib joint and the player. If the commercial never gets shot, then I guess it would pose a situation for the NCAA to investigate since NIL isn't a factor...it ends up just being a cash payment to a player. If the booster/restaurant owner gets hammered the first time it happens, that might discourage others. But if the school isn't involved, there shouldn't be any penalty. The school would probably have to disassociate from the booster.

Corporate football. Just like anything that is corporate sucks.

Well given LSU is one of the 5 schools that are emerging as the clear cut recruiting heavy weights year in year out, not really. (Bama, OSU, Clemson, UGA, LSU. I mean with the portal and all, it might cause some issues down the line, but for now, WEEEEEEEEE!

So it really doesn't change the landscape of college football. The highly rated players will still go to the elite schools and while the second tier schools get the scraps.

I could see why Saban might be against this. It's taking away his "advantage" as other coaches might otherwise not take the risk of getting slapped for it while Saban knows the extent to which he is being "protected" against any possible sanctions.
And how can this still be considered "amateur" sports?

I think Saban knows that he has a facility 10 miles up the road that can put every single player in a brand new Mercedes in return for showing up at an event or two at the plant.
Treat any warning by Saban like all his other warnings...do you really want this? Because if you do, he's gonna figure out a way to use it to his advantage and beat the shite out of you even worse than he is now.

That was my point. NIL might level the playing field in that it makes legal, for everybody else, what he's already been doing.
I'm certainly not implying that Saban is the only one doing it. I would be surprised if all the major players (Ohio State, Clemson, LSU, etc.) weren't. But Saban has been vocal about it, and even Finebaum said that NIL could be Saban's ultimate downfall.
