This is the outcome the schools are trying to avoid, but it feels like it's inevitable.

The only way to enforce a contract is for the players to be employees, not students. The schools very much don't want that because of the costs and liabilities involved.

One interesting option might be for the players to be employees of the NCAA (or some other league-wide org) instead. Contracts would be defined and enforced through that body. But they still are tied to a particular program, get free school, maybe bonuses for going to class, etc.

Everyone ended up in a good place, but Swinson has better stats than Landon Jackson, who everyone wishes we had held onto.

Yeah there’s no way they’re going to make the refs decide if an injury is legit or not. It will have to apply to every one.

Then they are employees. Which the schools seem hellbent on avoiding, thus the mess we have now.

The Bernard-Converse play to break up the first down pass just before OT was huge. Bama has a good shot at punching it in if he doesn't make that happen.

Edit: Also, when the Bama player runs off the field on the 2-pt conversion - "I thought #13 had just had enough." :lol:

"I'd make more money and play sooner at another school" sure seems like logic to me.

Over 3 years. Who’d have thunk it, leaving LSU to go to TCU.

Definitely makes sense for the bigger bowls. If the Rose Bowl wants to be relevant again, make it the pre-season kickoff between last year's B1G and PAC12 champions. Teams will be fresh and everyone will play, and it will have a real effect on the season.

The Gaparilla Bowl won't be relevant either way, so i'm fine with it being a silly bonus game on a tuesday afternoon after the season.
