I live in Tennessee and have more money than my family that lives in Victoria, Texas. I send them money actually.

Has anyone suggested a salary cap to be imposed on college football?

Not true. Individual rights are being trampled on. But that is a discussion for another board.

It's not the idea, it's the enforcement.

Brilliant counter. I think you may have changed my mind.

You're so stupid.

However, you don't have to try to prove it with every post.

I don't try to change the minds of hopeless idiots.

NCAA v. Alston was a unanimous decision written by Gorsuch and concurred by Roberts, Kavanaugh, Alito, Barret, and Uncle Clarence Thomas. Pretty sure they aren't known as either left-leaning or prone to siding with the three leftists on the court.

Which is what will led to the downfall of college athletics as we know it - a significant loss of identity with programs leads to less attendance and then future donations. The experience of attending games and the memories people have are what drive a lot of the passions. When people lose that they become casual fans.

The NIL is bad enough, the unlimited transfer portal is the real nail. It makes them complete whores.

You can thank the government for getting involved... and the NCAA for being complete idiots. If they had simply let athletes do commercials, sell things on Ebay, and get jobs, they wouldn't have had a lawsuit. But they banned any athlete from making money of any sort.

I think the portal was an act of sabotage as a result of the former ruling.

Kind of like, you know what? Eff it! Eff the whole damn thing. You don't want regulation, well you got it!
