yeah and if we were consistently like Vandy…. our stadium would eventually look like the Commodes stadium.

In the original post I made on this late last night...it wouldn't be just us using amateurs, kids that want to be pro would CHOOSE to go professional and go to the minor league team or teams of whatever NFL team drafts them assigns them, and kids that CHOOSE college would do so with the understanding that they were amateurs and had to fulfill their obligations...so every school would be recruiting from the same talent pool.🤷‍♂️

NCAA football is not “in clear breach of antitrust law.” The model has been directly challenged and upheld in the federal courts. At best, you could say that there are some reasons to believe that courts may take a different view in future cases.

And whatever the courts have said or may say about how the 1800s Sherman Act may or may not apply to college football, I am of the view that high schools should be able to sponsor athletic teams and create a league where the schools in that league agree to rules about whether and how much they pay people to play on their sports teams.

If you removed the current 85, and replaced them with walkons - people would still go watch “Tennessee” in Neyland.

If our 85 walkons were trouncing other team’s 85 walkons - people would fill the stadium.

The stadium would absolutely not be filled with 85 walkons vs 85 walkons, especially if the real football players were playing in another league.

And more importantly, ESPN would not pay hundreds of millions of dollars per year for 85 walkons vs 85 walkons. Quality of the product matters.

Supreme Court made it clear you can't do an NIL cap. But ya, I like some of those. Especially the signing period being before the season is over.

I think you cant do a player cap, which is what it is, but an NIL Cap like a salary cap shouldnt be an issue.

You cannot cap NIL. Courts will overturn a one year NIL.
As LA Vol said the player side will be handled via contract eventually. I support expanding the playoff and closing window until they are over.

I dont think its what a player can get, just a Salary Cap of sorts.

The same people that claim quality of product wouldn't matter also call the current product sickening because the networks and conferences are manipulating the product for viewers and money. lol

This is the disconnect. You are wrong about all of this.

Also, there is no “other league” for “the real football players.” Nobody wants to watch them play for some no-name semi-pro team.
