After all, they are the butts of many jokes. They are constantly mocked, ridiculed for their weird and embarrassing "traditions" and behaviors.

It didn't just start in college for most of them. These people were the class dorks in junior high and high school too, and were thus drawn to the misfit culture at a&m.

Then they all went out to mid court and did a celebration dance on the Texas A&M logo.

Are there any ways to fix the problems that would be actually implemented, following the SCOTUS NIL decision?

The NFL is able to impose salary caps and restrictions on free agency through collective bargaining agreements between owners and the NFL Players Association. That obviously would be a lot harder with 136 FBS college teams that have wildly divergent interests and financial resources. I could see maybe a super conference of the top 40 or so FBS schools maybe pulling this off, but it would require the formation of a players’ association. Barring that, it would probably take an act of Congress.
For anyone wondering, the most-watched college football game in US television history was the 2006 Rose Bowl game between Texas and USC, with 35.6 million viewers. Coming in a close second was the 2015 CFP national championship game between Ohio State and Oregon (34.1 million viewers).
Serious question. Are you a special needs individual?
How long before the NCAA extends eligibility by a year, then another year, and then unlimited eligibility? It will be a professional league then that competes with the NFL, but with the advantage of college traditions and spectacle.

Great win. I didn't expect this tonight.

Got some help from Bama's little bitch coach, whose constant appeals took the crowd out of it.

Diluted the product with Big12 schools.

In what way has Arkansas ever improved the “product”?
Would a 19 or 20 year old Tom Brady in today's era of NIL have stayed at Michigan? Probably not, although today's 48-year old Brady wishes he would have. Nevertheless, it was an insightful answer to the question and all student athletes should pay attention to what he said.
A writer for The Athletic observed that the NFC South has now produced three of the NFL’s five sub-.500 playoff teams since that division’s inception in 2002. He posed the question, “How does this keep happening?” to lifelong Georgian and college football newsletter author Jason Kirk, who replied:

“One part of the long-term answer: Expectations in this college-sports-first region have always been much lower for most of our pro sports teams than they are in other parts of the country. Also, the NFC South ownership has usually been quite bad.”
Listen, we have experience hiring away a rival’s coach, did it in baseball to our retarded cousin aggy the day after they lost their national championship series a couple of years ago. The key words there are “the day after”. If Schlossnagle had been willing to bail before they finished their playoff run, we wouldn’t have taken him (if he would frick over a team like that, he would do it to anyone). Kiffin fricked over his own team before their playoff run ended, which is why everyone hates him now.
quote:

Why not just stay at Ole Miss then?

Because deep down he loves Ole Miss and has zero respect for LSU. :nana:
Kiffin's plan is obvious to all but dumb, gullible LSU: he'll pull a Jimbo Kelly™, get himself fired in year 2 or 3 and then retire into the distance with a big, fat buyout. Shrewd!
quote:

This OMG Indiana used to suck now goat wow phenomenon was needed for a while but it’s not this would have ever happened in the days of just recruiting players without portals or NIL.

This is a very interesting sentence, but I'm going to have to study it a little more and get back to you.

You’re overstating the case, but that was a boneheaded call on Georgia’s own 33. He took a couple of big risks in the Texas game that paid off and it went to his head. The law of averages finally caught up with him.
That photo of the Gap kid brings back nice memories. Legend.

Stanford may not be the premier football program in its state, but they have one of the overall best athletic departments in the country.
It’s kind of ironic that Mizzou blew up the Big12 when they tried to flirt with the Big Ten and Nebraska got wind of it. Turns out the BIG had zero interest in them, and then they lucked out when the SEC felt like they had to take another team in addition to aggy.

Ahh Aggy fan your logo threw me. LSU played longer into the year than Aggy

Nah, I fricking hate aggy, just feel like LSU deserves a little shite this year.
