I'm afraid there will be many unintended consequences that could ultimately ruin the sports. I ran Track & CC in college (only say that because been there/done that/got the T-shirt) and I'm not for college athletes being paid.

I don't pretend to know the ends and outs of every subject here but: 1) Only major football and a few Basketball programs make money 2) Players aren't suffering the way that's being presented 3) Except for football, every other sport has another path to Pro sports (and that's only 1.6% anyway that go Pro) leading to 4) It's a personal choice to play intercollegiate athletics, no one is forced to do it.

I'm really afraid of the end product that's going to come of this, and I predict that in the foreseeable future many of us will no longer be fans of college athletics because of what it will turn into.

Essentially though if someone is making money off the likeness of another person, that person is entitled to receive a portion of the funds. I think it has less ripple effects to the other sports than people think. As long as the universities aren't required to pay the athletes anything additional I see no real issue with star athletes making money for doing an appearance or running a camp.

Just listening to that tool Mike Farrell on Full Ride talk about Henry T and the future of transfers within the conference. He’s saying that in June or July the SEC will propose that you can allow a player to play immediately if he transfers to another SEC school if the school he transfers to gives up 2 scholarships, otherwise the player sits out a year.

That's going to make for some very awkward conversations between players that want to do this and staffs not willing to give up two scholarships for said player.

Outside of good QBs or all-SEC caliber players, who else is worth 2 scholarships? And how often do all-SEC players transfer?

The NCAA would have us all believe otherwise. As if coaches aren't making 10mm a year and such. Never heard of someone coaching AMATEURS that makes millions a year. Does not compute.

How crazy to think that Saban could hand each of his 85 scholarship players $100 a week for an entire year and it still cost him less than 500k and likely be a tax write-off.

OK good.

This is going to be a very interesting time for college athletics. I am for players being paid, but my bet is there will be a ton of schools who don't handle it well.

I know not everyone is following it closely - but don't forget, there's a reason that these 'immediate' steps are scheduled to take place starting July 1, 2021. That's because the Supreme Court is going to give their ruling on the NCAA amateurism model in the NCAA v Alston case, in June. Based on preliminary comments several of the Justices have made, I expect the NCAA to be ruled against, thus allowing/forcing the NCAA's hand in regards to how it handles issues such as name image and likeness. I expect once this ruling is handed down, the NCAA will implement some broad brushed approach to keep the individual conferences/schools from doing it so there's at very least some uniformity to it. The NCAA is going to be forced to stop dragging their feet on these types of issues. It's my opinion that they have a model in place (based on the fact they've been discussing it for several years now), and are waiting until their mandated to actually apply it.

Regardless of NCAA action, the State of Tennessee's law would go into effect Jan. 1, 2022 based on the reports I read earlier this week. So, in regards to the recruiting landscape, we're talking about the landscape being even by the time the 2022 recruiting class would be on campus.

Getting the cancer carved out of my back today and hoping to see if I can still train back at the gym two hours later 😂. I think it’s going to work out though.

COVID shot number two a couple of hours after that. Prayers and cash appreciated

Dear NCAA,
We have fired everyone involved and self-imposed a loss of an entire recruiting class and almost a third of another. We are no longer a threat to Bama, Georgia, or any of the favored teams. We just have fans on twitter. Please be gentle.

Good try, but it won't help us. They are going to punish for all Bama, Georgia and Florida's past transgressions.

It definitely will. I really like the idea because it makes everyone reassess if it’s the right decision for all parties. It also slows down this Wild West mindset where everything goes and it’s basically free agency .

It was a joke..I've been called a lot worse than Whitey by black people.

I sorta got the joke. I have been called worse as well. Probably used quite a few inappropriate terms, especially in my younger days. Glad that we have a forgiving God. I have no issues with you, brother. Hope we celebrate together after we beat Florida's ass this year.
