The longer this goes on, and the more and more money players get paid, the more I feel certain that they'll eventuality try to cap player's earning potential in some way, shape, form, or fashion.
They are going to have to do exactly this, or this will be completely out of hand.

The lad in the hairnet tending to cold cuts is our cautious optimism aaaand… the senior citizen in the red shirt after 2.5 marijuanas is the reality of the first SEC game…

Lol. Figured.

I had to take a break. Haven’t looked in here or at Recruiting all summer.

Then I looked today at the in state recruiting for this cycle. Then I looked at overall thinking we must be hitting out of state hard. Then I was sad…
 
While looking up some stats from last year...couldn't help but notice all-world JT Daniels was hardly killing it last year according to stats that don't benefit him from all the talent around him (such as Tua's insane YPA when he was throwing 6 yard passes and receivers running the last 50 yards for TDs). On an island, he's nothing special...

It would be for the best but I’m not sure they can do that
 
How is telling anybody how much money they can make literally just for being them a good thing?
The alternative is the richest program rules with no one getting a chance. Is what a pro salary cap tries to prevent. I’m not talking capitalism, I’m concerned with competition. Unfortunately, now they intersect

Manchester City is a frustrating illustration of this. A team with no history at all is purchased by oil sheiks and suddenly they flood the transfer market with cash. Now, few can match what they offer, and they win time and time again. Just wait until corporations start buying championships. You think we have those heavy hitters in Orange?

You'd think the Sling and Dish people would be all over paying Tennessee. Considering how much they use UT sports in their commercials

No, but that’s life. And doesn’t necessarily always work out that way. The Yankees are the richest team in baseball and haven’t won a title in a decade.

He does that because tennessee doesn’t charge him to use it. He’s never donated to any UT athletics program. Not a sports guy.

Baseball is unlike any other sport. Talent doesn’t always win and they are hoping to win 60% of the time. Also the Yankees have Over 25 championships so I’m not sure that’s the best example.

I’ve have always said that great, competitive sports leagues are not based around true capitalism. You have to have restrictions in place to create some parity. While there have certainly been runs by several franchises through the years, the NFL is the example. Teams from Buffalo, Nashville, Seattle, Denver, Green Bay, Tampa, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Cincinnati have all been to or won Super Bowls.
