The hypocrisy is mind blowing

The distinction between NFL, UFL professionals vs college players is so blurred it is ludicrous to make the distinction. Let alone, those "professionals" who had a tryout for the NFL, many of whom get no compensation or a very small compensation compared to even the lowest paid P4 college offensive lineman.

These folks aren't professionals? Sure looks like they are generously compensated with life altering money.

Texas reportedly paid between $3 and $3.5 million for Cam Coleman.
Florida reportedly paid Jadan Baugh 1.3 million
Chambliss reportedly is being 5-6 million at Ole Miss and Lacy 2 million
Stockton is reportedly paid 2 million

So please, don't play this holier than thou crap about the "amateur (wink, wink) student athlete".

For all the downvoters, EABOD

I have only been on the rant a few years. I’m curious. Have LSU fans always been this exhausting?

All these schools with sixth year and seventh year players are going to be pretty damn good with them this year. But how dare those schools do that to those incoming freshman! ;)

But oh no, never should a fifth year player that got cut from an NFL team even though they didn’t know they would have been able to have an extra year of eligibility, should play! No way!

It is the biggest load of bullshite and the hypocrisy is out of control. People just need to get the frick over it and realize we gamed the system just like all of them already did. Spot the damn ball and quit your fricking crying.

Agree with you. More than blurred… basically the same with NIL. Read the South Carolina QB has a golf internship somewhere this year. Apparently you can play football without taking a single class nowadays.

The entire thing is a free for all shite show. Not sure how anyone, including Kiffin, can be singled out for anything. Current state of affairs is a direct result of 20+ years of protectionism by NCAA when it comes to TV money. Now they lost total control and consistently get their arse kicked in court. Laughable.

They actually have the trophies. Some recent. Best baseball program ever. One would think they would not be so defensive.

I agree, college athletics are a mess.

It's all built on tradition and not actual law though so it's going to get worse. There's nothing really keeping unlimited eligibility from becoming a thing.
