Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[pierce60]

Guys...... a close family member is going to be involved with the football program.... I may be gaining insider status this summer. LOL

If so, you better never be wrong about anything, even the slightest detail, because some on here will make your life hell.

True and not true. An la can be passed and signed by the President. However, any law can be challenged in court and can be upheld or stricken form the books by the Supreme Court.

Well, ACKCHYUALLY

This is true..... we beg for info and then get mad if info is not correct 100% of the time..... I remember skeeter had been right 100% of the time and then missed on I believe Carl Lawson..... a few posters chased him all over the board.

Especially when you’re wrong 90% of the time and try to act like some big baller.

If people thinks someone is fake..... I wish they would just ignore them..... believe who you feel confident in.

People give up rights in times of fear for perceived safety and security. So those who seek power over them beyond what is permitted, create situations that induce fear, anxiety and panic. Then they come riding into the rescue with solutions. Dangle some money out there. Rinse, repeat.

Everything is legal until it is proven it is not in the courts. If the judiciary is tainted and politicized, well, we find ourselves where we are today. So let's make this post "legal" for the thread.

That's why it is naive IMO to believe that CFB will ever return to what it once was with amateurism reigning. If you understand business lifecycles you know that when cash is the primary goal and focus - as it is and has been for some time - that business/industry has moved into the decline side of the cycle. To go back to growth requires the excess cash to be reinvested into product development instead of payouts. Where does the product (players, coaches, administrators, marketers, etc.) come from? School systems in towns near you. For the game to grow it cannot pay out most of its resources to the end product. The money it gets comes from us with discretionary spending. When we don't like the product, we stop watching and buying. If there are no end goals worthy of pursuing by the prospective products in that business/industry, it craters.

The players will get money, but according to the GA law, they will share it.

To be fair, the law only gives schools the option to exercise this "up to 75%" clause. So far, doesn't sound like any of them are going for that. UGA has already said they won't be. Not sure about Ga Tech.

We saw this badly after 9/11 and then again with Covid. Authoritarians love to use emotion to their advantage.

I'm not suggesting we ask them. If we're going to ruin college football, I'd rather be proactive and abolish this future state altogether. Radical, but so it's what's happened.

I'd say we should first see if it has even one major iota of "ruining" the sport before blowing it all up lol. Chaos sounds good at times, but rarely turns out well.

I know people like the idea of amateurism, but it's already been dead for a good while and yet we still love the sport. Really don't see how NiL is going to change anything. 10 years from now, it will probably be completely forgettable. Oh, and we'll have NCAA College Football 2023 or whenever they make the next one.

Honestly my bigger concern is mass transferring. Even pro sports have contracts, so there is some restraint to movement. Now we're close to having situations where your top recruits, who were recruited by your rivals, will just be re-recruited 4 months into their freshman season by the same schools that were runner-ups during the HS recruitment.

 

[headhunter15]

Do you mean Holston?

Yes! Sorry, I was half asleep posting!

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

I am.

I passed no less than twenty cars pulled over taking pictures of it as I drove into town. It was pretty impressive in person.

 

[Devo182]

"Whoa, that's so intense"

Double Rainbow... Bro

Double Rainbow Bro passed away last year

Hopefully he's up in heaven with double rainbows everyday.

Hopefully he's up in heaven with double rainbows everyday and all the fungus he can eat.

Aw that's sad.

 

[thistime]

You won't say whether that is "good or bad"? Someone said that college football is not "amateur" sports, but for the 90+% of kids that don't go on to pro ball but get a valuable education it sure as hell is. I hope it all dies and all the dumbasses that have screamed for this horsecrap for years now love it when everything that made college football great is gone forever.

Don't get me wrong I don't think it is a good idea but I also don't know all the ins and outs of the rules. I think the NFL and the NBA are the ones that benefit the most and this isn't news to anyone. I think they both should do like MLB and the NHL and have a minor league. If a kid wants to get paid they can go that route and if they want a education they can go to college.

 

[SoilVol]

Yes. But the days of elbowing Eastern Europeans on the rocks are over lol. My friends had been catching them in staging areas downstream for the last week or two, but they've all moved up now.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That's Nigel Lanier.

For sure but my finger is on the NUKE button LOL

Aw that's sad.

He had a pretty cool story. He lived on the edge of Yosemite. Completely in the wild. Grew his own food.

 

[SycloneJoe]

Angela Kirkpatrick is who he's referring to (no image at the time I post this). She was at UNC before UGA and has done a great job at both places. She's a 2016 graduate of the University of Tennessee. I'm sure she's on the radar and they'd like to have her back in the future.

 

[Devo182]

Somebody hide the nuclear codes from this man


I do think about this - stipends. They've now been around for 6 years. As far as I know, the first and only instance of schools directly paying players cash. I remember the discussion surrounding them for years was how it would ruin things. And yet here we are, never even hearing a peep about them ruining things.

It does ruin things because its the "give an inch take a mile" concept. See how quickly it has escalated?

Plus he can’t tweet anymore due to his account being suspended. Lol
