Multi-year contracts are needed for players.

There needs to be transfer fees for players.
Want to sign a freshman AA QB? Gotta pay the school he’s playing for now, then you can negotiate

Hot fricking take. You think turning over 30% of your roster every year on top of hs recruitment and graduation is sustainable?

what's next


I think …..

CFB will keep getting worse and worse, and like you said-eligibility requirements go away- the NFL will go to Congress and demand protection from the competition that CFB poses to their league.

If a player can get 3-5-7 million a year in college, and get waivers for years, that’s a problem for the NFL.

Imagine if all the best CFB QBs did what Trinidad Chambliss is trying to do at OM right now. Tbe NFL would have a QB shortage.

Something has to change. This system is completely unsustainable.
Only two ways it changes.

Option 1 is that B10 & SEC pull away & form a super league, complete with player's union, draft, collective bargaining and enforceable contracts.

Option 2 is that fans get fed up enough to stop going to games, paying for ESPN and contributing to NIL.

Them's the only two legal options left to fix it.

The NFL needs a minor league. Student athletes need to meet min student requirements.

Maybe the contract should be performance based as well. Giving a kid a chunk of change, and we are stuck with him. See Ott at OU. If we had to pay him another year people might shite themselves.
