I’m not sure how your example pertains to this developing and dynamic situation. Taxes will, of course, be a factor for employees but nothing you can’t “true up.” They can structure pay however they want to accommodate for Uncle Sam and will likely pay experts to figure it out. As for the NFL...

The NCAA forget it is a member led organization. If you bite the hand that feeds you don't expect many meals going forward. In fact, your odds of being put down go up exponentially. Time for the NCAA to take the long nap....

Nothing really changes as they would still be "on scholarship" and have cost avoidance of academic fees, books, housing etc. The question is employee vs. 1099. Then benefits come into play where I could see some sports go away but certianly not the ones that generate revenue. Another thought...

College athletics just died; it’s basically saying they are professionals now. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If you don’t have a scholarship are you working for free and thereby not an employee? Next will be a players unions and CBAs. Good luck with that. Will they all be...

I am actually fascinated by the "why" here. Why would the NCAA make this public (if true) via leaks? Literally no one would take the NCAAs side given the iron hand they have ruled with for as long as I can remember. They have been on the wrong side of history since at least the mid-80s...

1. Success in the run game. Have to be able to run the ball. 2. Win turnover battle 3. Nico has to be able to identify where they are sending pressure from and either get it picked up, throw behind it or use his feet to make it a positive play All three of the factors were contributing to the...

Great observation. For me, I do think the gap is closing. That being said....It is a pretty darn big gap! Take care brother!

I'm not sure we can say that it isn't on the same level. If we consider where we have been and where they have been you could make the argument that he is recruiting on the same level but it is much harder to get the talent to a school getting curb stomped by UGA and only one SEC win of note in...

Competing directly against my current colleagues? Yeah. I wouldn’t do that.

That’s why it’s in Blue.

I live in the PNW and Bama got themselves a good coach. Will he be great? Don't know but following Saban won't be easy. I will point out that while Washignton was a great team they had a bit of a HH year. Penix coming in and playing lights out made this UW team play well above their actual...

What a TooL. I get wanting a better opportunity somewhere but to go to a "Rival" is pretty pathetic. At least the guys that went to Ole Miss could make the argument you wanted to compete for a title. The portal is lame....

Wow, this got spicy! 😆 Nothing like calling everyone you are debating with dumb because they disagree with you.....

If you think you know better than a guy who is doing it professionally at the highest level in college, one who has turned a flailing team around and has been successful elsewhere you may want to ask yourself why you are uniquely qualified to think that. Maybe, just maybe, the people paid...

Not trying to be on a high horse. Simply saying SEC athletes from top to bottom tend to be pretty good. I agree that Bama and UGA are the elite of the SEC. I would offer, however, that the drop off in athleticism is far less in the SEC.
