It wont happen because your "reasoning" for doing anything about the system in wrong. SEC fans are the only ones not happy with it. The rest of teh country suffered from SEC fatigue and is ecstatic we only got 3 teams in.

I'll be shocked if it ever changes in our favor...its us agains the rest of the country at this point. Better just plan not lose more than 2 games.

Yes, if i understand correctly..in your scenario, the university(team) will be paying the players and will be placing them under contract. I think it’s clever and a “compromise” that is much better than what we currently have.

I still do not think a salary or any form of nil should be paid by the university to obtain/retain the student athlete. Why can they not get the benefits of the institution while exploring outside nil options. Athletes should be paid proportionately by how good they are via endorsements, arrangements, and private contracts they garner via other private entities. The market and their performance will determine their pay. . Popeyes, Coca Cola, Nike, ea sports etc this is a more proper use of NIL but that’s just my take, I don’t want the institution involved.

I think that is exactly what is going to happen.

Every school will pay the players a flat fee, and the NIL will be between the players and the private marketplace, with the school to have administrative oversight.

CFB did it to themselves; systematically attacked and reduced the powers of the NCAA to the point the legal system neutered the NCAA and created a void that was filled with a free-for-all competition.

Not all markets are equal. Good for some, not for others.

Let's just expand the playoffs again. That'll fix everything.

Exactly. Let’s make it a 64 team tournament to start.

When bubble teams start complaining enough, we can go to an extra 4 play-in games like basketball to get 4 more teams in.

They can. Just like in any pro sport.

But the "NIL" that is really payment to go to a school will dry up instantly once you cannot pay players to come to your program because of contracts and a draft.

It fixes both sides. You can still get as much NIL as you want, but it's for actual name, image, and likeness. The dollars can't dictate where prospects end up.

We are close in agreement Johnny but not completely. I would prefer to retain college football as an Amateur sport with student athletes. The athletes nil is a private matter. Maybe their can be some form of department dedicated to helping with the NIL?If not, form a semi pro league that feeds in to the nfl.

You seem to indicate you believe we are beyond that point and we will have to include the university in some way with NIL You are probably correct in thinking so. I don’t see this money machine changing course, look at what coaches make per year ..wow

I prefer a non pro structure in which athletes go to schools they love and can develop and coach them and they in turn have pride to do so. Maybe i am right but im I’m obviously longing for the past.
Oh well , it’s a very engaging conversation and will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
