What would stop them from leaving early?

Agree. I do see a couple of possibilities. Affluent schools use the NIL to stockpile even more of the bluechippers leading to even less pt for a chunk of the roster. After sitting a season or two they head for the portal for less or even no money. I also expect locker room dissent to increase.

I understand that the NCAA was making bank of these guys and I don't believe that was fair or even ethical. However, in the interest of fairness, which is a joke for sure, the NCAA should have opened the draft up to highschool grads, told them to hit it if they are that damn good and quit using individual players names and images for profit. The players that choose the college route should be paid uniformly and required to abide by amateur rules

But ND did hang tough against Cincy.

The Pope is gonna excommunicate dat cajun arse!

Agree, LSU is a sleazy giant.

I cannot see Carter tolerating substandard BB, especilally with the facilities we have. Obviously FB is the priority and hopefully he gets that settled ASAP.

I love having a good backup kicker.

Niether would you if you played in the SEC.

:lol: "journalistic integrity " :lol:

Parasitic integrity, maybe.

My thoughts exactly. In addition Durkin will play a defense more in line with how we played ATM with more stunts, blitzes and aggression. Anyone basing opinion on what we saw against Vandy is probably mistaken.
