Imagine a scenario where a guy is playing for an away team while being recruited by the home team lol.


Dude.

Imagine a scenario where a guy starts a game for one team, and switches uniforms to the opposing team at the half.

The ncaa is an organization of all the member institutions.

The ncaa office , though, has been rendered by the courts to be unable to administrate and regulate the college sports as used to be the case.

I am pretty sure that the ncaa office has decided to let the boosters , the players, and their “agents “, many who are uncertified and are glorified street agents, just kill the whole damn thing. Basically the old “give em enough rope to hang themselves” ploy. I think it’s working.

NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately.

So you could technically unenroll at halftime and go play for the other team the 2nd half

The player still has to be enrolled at the beginning of the academic semester to play for a team.

Sure they can drop out of school anytime.

And what is to stop a university from changing their enrollment policy so that students can be enrolled at anytime, even if it is just to audit courses?

Dont know but this shite isnt beong taken seriously enough by the NCAA. Theres a shitload of money involved and theyre non existent as it is. I just dont see the NCAA being able to govern this shite bc they are proving they cant...and wont. Ita a shitshow and tons of improvements need to be made. I have my doubts about the NCAAs future when it comes to bigtime college athletics and have for some time.

Yall don’t seem to understand the situation here. The NCAA only cares about the men’s basketball tournament. It has been the goose that laid their golden egg for decades…………

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/39439274/ncaa-generates-nearly-13-billion-revenue-2022-23

The NCAA also diviulges their finances on their own website if you care to look.

So they are basically telling CFB to “frick off” because they aren’t in control of the CFP ($$$).

EDIT: Realize this is Wikipedia, but the College Football Association is where the break from the NCAA began for Power 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Football_Association

It has been a game of willful compliance since 1977 with the Power 4 teams.

This isn't it. The NCAA is the schools and they could have had an NCAA football tournament at any point in the last sixty years but didn't.

It's one thing and one thing only: the NCAA getting their legs chopped out underneath them and subsequently giving up. It just happens to be the most profitable sport, so it has the most impact there.

The guy transferred as a student not as an athlete. He’s not on scholarship so doesn’t need the portal. This isn’t new. NIL just makes it easier to get someone to become a walk on.

You’re stupid. They could have started their own CFP literally at any point.

At the end of the day, who is really going to have a field day is the IRS. Because at least 50% these players will “forget” to pay taxes on their NIL income, yet their benefactors will 100% turn in the receipts. And when the IRS comes calling in a few years to collect on back taxes, the players won’t have the capital or cash flows to pay their bills as they’ll have already run through everything


This nonsense idea about not paying taxes is one of the strangest fantasies and counter 'arguments' ever to come out of all this. The only way these guys are going to not pay their taxes is in an alternate dystopian sci-fi dimension that none of us, or the athletes, are ever going to inhabit in any reality.

Agreed. You get a $5M you're going to get a financial advisor, probably immediately after buying a stupid expensive car that drops in value 40%+ the second you drive it off the lot.

Wanna bet on that? And to put it simply, athletes are both overcompensated and preyed on for the very same reason, it's easy money; also the tax man charges interest
