I would like to thank the Supreme Court, the NCAA, the universities, and players and their parents for ruining college football

There will be no such thing as loyalty to a program, school, or coach. The best players will force universities into bidding wars. A QB that wins the Heisman as a junior? He'll put himself on the free agency list for the portal the day after the bowls are done. Gone will be the days of sitting in the stands and watching a player progress over 2 to 4 years, maybe 5.

I'm not naive, I know it happened before on a lesser scale when it was not legal to make offers like we see now. But the scope of it now, and the fact that its going to just get worse....

There is no solution. NIL cannot be capped. I don't know, maybe student athletes never really did have much loyalty or allegiance and we romanticized it off the strength of the very few that seemed to embrace it, Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow. But now school fan bases are going to needle each other about how they stole this player or that player.

Time to realize that it was really just all about the show in years past? TV rights, pageantry, fight songs. The whole thing is just so depressing.

NCAA leadership must grow a pair and put restrictions on the portal. Give athletes 10 days starting mid January only. No spring window.

I’m not certain the University will ultimately get to make that choice.

No, the court will and when it does the players will laugh heartily at your suggestion that "$20/hr" is reasonable for a professional athlete whose team owner is making millions from their services.

They'll get revenue sharing money from the..... I think the ESPN deal coming in is somewhere around $200-300 million per school.

$20/hr..... Hehehehe

I'm not upset they are getting paid. I'm just bemoaning the effect of it on college football in the big picture. I really think it's going to make fans and even the game just really transitory.

Gator fan sad that his teams QB recruit got stiffed by their donors and left.

People chicken littleing over the players finally being able to own themselves is hilarious.

Is it legal to pay High School kids while they are playing? If so this will eventually trickle down to every level.

No. We have the NCAA to thank for ruining college football. They were doing something so bad the Supreme Court agreed 9-0 that it was wrong. Instead of getting with the times and making changes that would have avoided or at least mitigated a lot of this disaster the NCAA fought it. And it exploded in their face with all the pressure to make changes.

So yes we are picking up the pieces, but it's the NCAAs fault. And probably us as fans too. We supported a system that made coaches, schools, conferences and a "non profit NCAA insanely rich. Using a top down approach to keep those who did the real work from making any money off of it.

Aaaawwwww. The old pay their fair share. You do understand there has never been a kid that was MADE to play college sports. Just like a job, if you don’t like the financial arrangement, go elsewhere

All I see are the other dozen or so threads made in this forum over the past couple of years saying the exact same.

You started this thread because uf donors screwed up. If they paid up there's no thread from you

I think I saw there are 10 QBs going to their 3rd or 4th teams. That’s a lot of 2+ transfer QBs. JT Daniels is one of them as he’s heading to his 4th team.

The Packers seem to get by.

It's a far better idea than a union would every be

The Packers are a pro sports team. Sure, if UT spins off football and basketball as pro teams, they could sell shares. I'm unsure how many of the players of the Packers get paid just in shares of the team. You're making no sense here.

Oh good grief. They get paid a portion of the profit they generate. You're too stuck on a word not the idea
