THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE NIL WE'RE ALREADY CONTRIBUTING TOO?!

If you go to the games, stop donating. If you can't make it to the games, keep donating. If you want to keep donating and going to games, great.

Is all 10% going to the players or are they gonna skim a few % off for themselves?

Also, they didnt need to add a 10% fee. They already make so much that they could've donated 11% of the ticket prices to the players and never really missed it.

 

[screenthis]

I don’t like the name. Sounds scummy.

Call it a “personnel development surcharge” or “student-athlete support fee.”

I'll admit it. I'm not a fan of the fee. Ten percent now. How much later? Of course, I don't like college football, in essence, becoming another Pro league.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This is in anticipation of direct revenue sharing from the schools.

Only way that happens is if the P5 forms it's own sort of minor leagues. The smaller schools can't really afford that.

 

[Volsdeep4]

I heard this and none of the media laughed? I couldn’t stop laughing. What is going on here squares.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Transparency is good .

UGA’s fee is going toward Drivers Ed

 

[Enki_Amenra]

The price of being a top notch program.

I don't mind if we keep rolling in top5ish classes and winning 10+ every year while dominating the portal. Drop back down to 7 or 8 wins and keep milking the fans for player funds and it probably won't go well.

I’m a BEARS fan who’s perfectly fine with our current QB situation…especially considering our history. Rookies make mistakes…tons. It’s when they repeat them and project defeat in their body language that starts the clock for me. We have a win and a six point loss to a loaded playoff team. Why would I panic?

Typical bears fan play it cool because you have a defense..unfortunately for bears fans it takes points to win there Mike dicka…I mean Ditka

They need to install governors on all player vehicles at UGA. Max speed 38mph, car won't start after 10pm or before 5.30am.

 

[DD4ME]

It is direct pay for play versus indirect. If you want to know why Bama and UGA were kicking our assess prior it is because they had a really strong indirect pay for play. Players got cars from Saban's dealership and jobs for parents etc in the area. If you want to know why TN has skyrocketed onto the main stage it is because we are now directly and openly compensating players at some of the highest levels. Bama and UGA hate it and are scrambling to catch up.

Everyone loves winning and no one loves paying the tab. If we all do what we can less have to do a lot. This is the secret sauce of Spyre. We have more grass roots participation than almost every program.

 

[VolInDayton]

For those not happy with ticket prices or NIL this may not be well received.

Specifically calling it out is dumb. No other sports leagues tell you what part of tickets go to pay contracts. Once the schools start paying players it's a professional sport. Don't put it on the fans to feel like they need to cover the extra. They are already paying for tickets and the schools making a ton of revenue from media/sponsorship deals that should be going to the players.

Exactly I have no problem with this fee.

Point of revenue sharing was to give the players a cut of the already HUGE pie they're mostly responsible for, an add-on fee means the fans are basically on the hook for paying for it.

 

[gordonr24]

Scrolling on my TL. It’s obviously troll bait. But can any Memphis fan give a legitimate X’s and O’s reason besides throwing out “Memphis mane” “Whoop that trick” or “Nothing sucks like a big orange”?

There is a possibility that we could see Memphis and Tennessee matched up in the CFP as 5/12 seeds.

Well it's coming might as well prepare for it.

 

[volinbama256]

If we get the run game going early the sky is the limit for this offense. Nico is the truth but when Sampson is hot it opens up everything for Nico.

Which simply means our Oline needs to get cooking right out of the gate and dominate...

And the people at the top, making major money from all of this, incur very minimum cost. It happens in all other industries in this country. Sports is no exception. I wonder how this affects resale ticket. I guess those ticket prices rise too, to offset the 10% increase in cost.

I prepared for it. Bought a new couch in the summer to be able to watch the games because they are pricing me out of being able to afford to go to any more games. Sad but true.

that's exactly right

the sport is moving in this direction anyway, Danny is going to use it as an edge until revenue sharing is formalized

every AD around the country, and the NCAA, is studying this
