Majority of kids don't want to go to school. So they will go this route. Money won't be saved. They will immediately spend it on random stuff because you handed an 18year old from a rough life $50k out of HS. He probably will not go to the Community College because every kid thinks they are going pro no matter what anyone says. When a kid tears an ACL and no longer Shananam the dictator worthy he will kick them to the curb. The kid will no longer be eligible for college football and not able to afford college on his own.

NFL teams need to quit crying about spread and learn how to coach or to take the right QBs. Instead of blaming their evaluations they blame everyone else.

If T helps college kids get compensation then great but it's a bad bad idea that could put kids that don't see past being an NFL player. Most NFL players aren't even in league long so what happens then with no education or just a two year degree instead of the 4 year kind? As bad as the NCAA can be there is still good in college

I haven't given this a whole lot of thought but why not either require the players in this new league to take courses at local community colleges, online universities, or require at minimum a two-year degree to qualify. If there is a requirement that they players either have an Associates or being working towards an Associates/Bachelors degree in some way it would help to alleviate the education aspect. I think that most kids that can qualify for a traditional college powerhouse would still go that rate due to the greater level of facilities and exposure that those schools would be able to provide. The schools that would be hurt the most would be the lower level Div-I and Div-II schools. Some of those players may choose to take a smaller paycheck with the hopes of showing out rather than going through 4 years of school and not getting nearly as much exposure as they need to get to the league.

This wouldn't happen if ncaa gave kids more money. The minor league system that is college football needs to be separated from universities and be run like an actual minor league. Kids can still go to the affiliated team's school for free, but the school needs to be out of the athletics business and simply collect a check from the league for use of the team name, stadium, etc...

I go more towards allowing the kids their right to make a living in the way that literally all other American citizens can. The schools don't have to be a part of it, but if some person wants to pay a kid for an autograph, let capitalism do its thing.

Then at that point they have some financial resources to open more doors than they had before and my assumption from reading it is that the league is going to make it a priority that the kids that want to have their educational needs met. They will not lose or miss out on anything but the pageantry of college football. It's 4 teams so it will not be a majority of kids going this route. It will be a subset of kids whose needs will be better met in this league than pretending to be a real college student and wasting time and resources portraying that facade.

This would absolutely be in the best interest of the kids. Unfortunately, the colleges have all the power in the current form and they will NOT agree to this because it is not in THEIR best interest. Greed is a powerful motivator for colleges to hold onto the current format.

I don't think it is possible to overestimate the negative effect poor strength and conditioning had on every aspect of our football team. Butch pushed and pushed to make his first couple of teams more physical, then he lost his mind and fired the "best strength coach I had at Tennessee" according to I believe Daniel Hood, who had been through several S&C coaches.

It's difficult to judge who coached well and who didn't if you decimate the foundation of S&C.

Well, you could probablysay that the person who decimated the S&C foundation didn't coach well.

I'm not from, nor do I currently reside within, the state of TN but I would think someone with a location anywhere in FL would know better than to get into a "Mug Shot-off" with any state other than maybe Ohio.

Don't disagree there. I was referring to the evaluation of all the assistant coaches. But I took too long to write my response and didn't quote the context. Doh!

Anybody else feel like our recruiting is in Sim Mode in NCAA and you're just about to pull the trigger and finish the recruiting yourself before it screws everything up?

Man I miss that game.

I'm just not all that impressed by this class...

Maybe I just have been stargazing too much and not watching film since our team was better the past year.
