This is the NCAA's way of trying to pretend they still have some power.
They will eventually have to just let players do what they want and just take their share of the money.

The issue now for HS kids is they have to compete with college players in the portal that have experience and shown themselves on a college level.
If things stay how they are now then HS kids will be viewed below transfers and they will have to sign somewhere lower to prove themselves and then jump in the portal.
Instead of building up for certain years every year will be rebuilding years for everyone and championship teams will be bought from the portal each year.

The courts are just making a joke of the NCAA and its old rules.
The NCAA will just end up regulating academics and let the courts and sports do their own thing.
Not this situation but the NIL will cause the sports to collapse and it will take the TV ratings to start dropping and money being lost for anyone with money to care. Right now the richest are getting their way at their colleges. If ESPN starts suffering then something will change.
There are lots of fans at schools that can't compete NIL wise that are pushing the TV money up. When they quit caring and only a handful of fanbases watch then less games will be on tv and so on til it becomes irrelevant compared to before.

Companies will start paying players on their own for advertising and even if they don't pull for their school.
But it's clear the NIL has to be capped for college athletics will have to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. It was built on stopping players from being paid. Now it will have to be all about capping it for the school in some way.

F they expand to 24 or 32... eventually LSU will get a sniff.
8 max but 6 is better.
quote:The NCAA is still over the schools and all it's programs. It can still put teams on probation for not following it's rules.
D1A doesn’t have a playoff. That’s ESPN’s baby.
Not all schools agree on the current setup as is and it would take most being on the same page for any kind of real split from the NCAA.
But either way, the current format will destroy cfb and only last for a brief period without rules. Too many programs aren't going to sit by while random programs buy players with unlimited money and tie their program down.
quote:There is always loop holes. As long as the NCAA has power over the programs and TV they can limit what a player can do to play for a program under their power. They can block a program from being eligible for their playoff if they play a player that didn't agree to play for free or under their cap.
NCAA literally can't do any of that. The House vs. NCAA case pretty much took all authority away from the NCAA to enforce anything to do with NIL. The NCAA can still make rules for the sports (a hold is a 10 yard penalty), they can enforce gambling rules, they can enforce some other stuff, but they have NO POWER at all over NIL.
A player would have to agree to the ncaa's terms to legally play for their association.
The entire nation would have to split from the ncaa (a huge legal battle) to not follow the rules. The ncaa still has say over who can and can't play for their programs and lots of players still want to win NCs as much as anything.
There is no court ruling that the ncaa has to let anyone play under them or who they have to let in the bowls.
quote:Its a XFL meets Arena League with no NIL cap.
This is fantasy football for billionaires.
quote:Its a joke on the NCAA for all those years they spent making a rule book around not cheating to get players.
It is not NIL. It is booster driven pay for play.
It has turned the sport into a joke without rules. The ncaa could return the favor by forcing player to sign a contract to not accept money through NIL to play for a ncaa program. 5 stars aren't going to the NFL without a place to show their abilities.

quote:So do LSU fans. Lane's record speaks for itself and he's been at bigger programs. LSU fans will turn faster on him than Bama fans did on DeBoer if he starts only winning 2 out of 3 games and loses to everyone that matters.
You sound like you’re trying to convince yourself lol

He’s a good coach, but number 2?

quote:We probably don't have enough companies lined up to pay for our players at the rate other programs in richer states do. Some companies will use the players as celebrities (even if they don't care about the schools) just for advertising. Bama is in the same boat.
If others are doing that and we aren’t no wonder we are getting our asses handed to us on the lines
They will have to make schools pool money or cap it to fix the mess that the NCAA spent years to control.

That’s what I don’t understand; how he gets 7 years but Pavia and Chambliss get denied?

He should realize if he hasn't made it by now he isn't going to. He should have focused on a degree by the 3 or 4th stop

Like a blueblood, complaining about the current system, because UGA loses players in portal. Talent is being spread out now.
It may sound good for you but every player that looks good for one year will run somewhere big and you'll never keep a group of quality players on one of your teams.
Indiana. But Bama will try to use them going undefeated as it being excusable for them getting beat by them.
