Obviously you must not have negotiated much. The commissioners can get together as they do to discuss business. There is no salary cap or anything with the NIL as it is and it is becoming an anticompetitive environment so therefore they do have an argument to bring forth to the NCAA as a whole...
It is not illegal. This model does not keep the kids from making money from their name, image or likeness. This is strictly for them to play at the universities. The NIL is for endorsements for their sponsoring products but college sports is using this to recruit and pay kids. The transfer...
The talent fee is preemptive due to rulings that go into effect in a year or two. We are just getting ahead of the game. Right now the negotiations are still between the athlete and the collectives the school just plays the middle man in getting the deals. TN just didn’t think Nico was worth...
It means the players have most of the power unless if the school really wants to keep them. The collective is what does the negotiating and paying. The school just helps them get in touch like a middle man in the deal. As far as if they don’t show up I guess it depends on the reason for them not...
Time for all of the commissioners of the leagues to get together and get a grip on this NIL nonsense and transfer portal. Make these kids sign contracts or go to a set amount per your starting rank/position for all schools with incentive based riders like they do with the coaches. Also need to...
That is not what was said. Play college for five years and then you go to work or nfl. Play three years college declare for draft but go undrafted and don’t sign with a team then you should be able to come back to college and play for two more years. Kind like baseball kids get drafted but goes...
This is why the portal should be after bowl season but before signing day. They need to sign a contract and if any team is caught talking to or player/rep caught talking to then should be penalized. They aren’t allowed to do that in any other sport while under contract they I’m aware of because...
I doubt it would because most of those guys have already been in for 5 years. I like this idea of just giving the guys 5 years and 5 only and then just play them. If they declare for draft and go undrafted then let them have their eligibility back for the remaining years to play.
To be honest I missed the old bowl games the way they were back before the days of sitting out for the draft and Nil/transfer portal. Now all the good prestigious bowls are no part of the play off. Why would I want to go to a lesser bowl being a 10-2 team that didn’t make the playoffs because a...
I’m not worried about those teams but Alabama and Ole Miss did do a bad job. Lost games they shouldn’t have lost. Texas only lost to GA twice. GA had struggles on things they shouldnt have struggled on. Some of the things are on the players but the difference between them and us are we didn’t...
I think the thing is we all expected the offense to be vastly improved this year especially after what we seen in the bowl game with Nico but that offense was nowhere to ever be found this year. The play calling was high school a lot of the times. Yes we ran the ball well and when we went...
