A sad commentary on the current chaotic state of college athletics and how it's being (mis)managed by the NCAA.

they’re toothless. If they make a rule some one is going to sue and it’ll get overturned. If they don’t make a rule we get this. They’re in a lose lose situation just trying to hang on for TV money purposes.
For many athletes the term “student/athlete” no longer applies. More like “mercenary/athlete”. More like the business world I retired from many years ago. You’re loyal to the company until a recruiter calls you with a better offer. Don’t blame the kids, blame the system, which is now unfixable.
it’s definitely fixable. Just treat them as workers with contracts and a CBA
I have been saying that NIL would lead to the downfall of college athletics since its inception. And now that it has been extended to high school athletes many people who used religiously attend every local football game are opting out.
the transfer without having to sit out a year is way more negatively impactful than NIL has been.
That is not a fix in my book. As much as I loved CFB and rooting for our Dawgs for over 50 years, I am losing interest… Plus, public universities really shouldn’t be fielding actual minor league professional teams. 🤷♂️
but they always have
To a degree… nothing like what is now upon on us and evolving.
eh…now it’s just out in the open. This sort of pay for play was happening 40 years ago too. These days it’s legal and covered by the media.
The 30 for 30 docs pony excess and greatest that never was highlight it.
just say you hate college kids making money off their own work
sun (now) it will be HS kids getting NIL and, then…what, Pop Warner? What's next ? A HS qb leaving his team for another and a better offer. They already do the "leaving" simply to be on a better team - one that gets them more exposure. Simple step to do it to get more money.
Andy was a friend. He played for the Dawgs in the 70s. After games alum would grease him a 50 or 100 bill. Not a million bill. No comparison to current day.
that’s like $1,000 today. What else did he get back then?
Markets change but to pretend the game was some honorable thing back then because it wasn’t our in the open is revisionist history.
His folks got him a GTO when he got his full ride scholarship. That was about $4,000 back then - about the cost of college at the time.
