Just wait for the problems to start when players become jealous that they are not paid as much as teammates or as much as players on other teams and begin holdouts. If you are going pro, might as expect what the pros do.

And recently they have been outbid by Oregon for HS recruits. It sucks what CFB has become. Unfortunately, you have to pay your current players a good amount too. If you don’t, someone else will.

As I and others have said, the only way to bring sanity to this is to adopt the rules all other professional sports have: salary caps, collective bargaining, drafts, etc. The good olds days are gone, but this new model can work as well. The NFL has certainly thrived.

110% agree. Gotta have some rules and boundaries that apply to all teams.

Form a nationwide league to be the franchisor. Each athletic department can be a franchisee.

Then you have the governance structure to implement uniformity.

Ohio state didn’t pay that money. Y’all act like schools are writing checks but they don’t and cannot. They can’t even facilitate deals. They can make recommendations starting august 10th. Here’s what the AD really said:

Buckeyes players received "around $20 million" from the school's name, image and likeness (NIL) collectives and brand affiliates over the past year, Ohio State's athletic director Ross Bjork told Yahoo Sports. The money given to student-athletes through collectives and brand affiliates is typically raised by the school's donors.

The coach or school can’t control where that money goes. For example. Stanford softball pitcher paid $1 million to transfer to Texas tech. That deal was made by Texas tech boosters and NIL collective. Again, these are third parties with no affiliation to Texas tech. Texas Tech boosters asked the coach for a list of transfers they wanted. They then pursued deals on their own. If we want the best at Clemson, we need our collectives to head hunt. Kirby has his collectives head hunting. So does every other team except clemson.

It’s an out and out lie. $Millions implies full coordination; and who is monitoring this mythical separation between “boosters” and “donors” and the schools’ athletic departments? The NCAA??? Just spare me that shyatt.

Unless the sheer amounts being paid to players is both reduced AND equalized across the board for EVERY school, and the ridiculous transfer portal volatility is greatly curtailed, the college football we’ve known is over… and a lot of people (including me) will be done supporting it.

100% true. The school does not pay. Also, as everyone knows, this is not NIL. This is pay for play. Very few college players on a team have REAL Name, Image, and Likeness value. But, they way more value as players. Hence they are paid all kinds of money by a collective to represent some kind of non-profit or other entity. This is what NIL has become. I read that this new House settlement thing, or related item, had a stipulation that all NIL deals over $600 had to be evaluated by a third party. Apparently this will be fought.

The $600 thing violates the consent agreement in the Ohio vs NCAA casecsse

When this NIL was formulated the then AD at OH St was over the committee. I said at the time it would be structured so there a way cheaters and the big schools could do what every they wanted and surprise surprise.

No it wont because every game all the commentary will mention how Clemson doesn't use the portal and talk about every player that came from the portal on the other team. Neverending talking point that will kill the spirit of the game along with thr actual NIL crap!

College athletes have been getting "compensation" for decades, granted it is a bit different now since it's out in the open. Go back to Reggie Bush etc.

Heck, 50 some years ago when I played small college bball, after a particularly good game I found out I had a "job" with decent pay (basically a paid study hall), I'd go in a restaurant and when I asked for my bill they'd say something like "oh, the couple that just left paid your bill". And I wasn't even a division I quality athlete. You've all seen the players who supposedly have no money from poor areas who show up driving a new car.

I remember in high school the "transfer" center on our bball team came with a "new and better" job for his father.

It doesn't matter where the player gets the money from. Bottom line, the player is getting paid. It's just a technicality on how he gets it.

We hear folks everywhere insisting that the sky is not falling, that none of this is that big of a deal, but of course, it is a big deal, and while not every element of recent changes are bad, the overall opening of the floodgates is, indeed, a monumental change, and will inevitably effect the culture of the sport in a way that will continue to unmoor it from it's roots of loyalty, school representation, tteam program continuity, amateurism, and so forth.

You don't have to be naive about the transactional stuff that's gone on in violation of all this behind the scenes in the past to realize this, either. To suggest otherwise is like suggesting bribery laws are naive b/c they don't acknowledge the dirty reality of things . . . but no, bribery laws exist **because** of the dirty reality of things, not because of obliviousness to them.

I can appreciate any desire to enjoy the sport as much as I can for what it is, given the residual fumes of history, loyalty, tradition, etc. that maybe left and will continue to enrich the sport to one degree or another for some years to come. But the root of all that is of course gone, and the residual fumes will probably at some point lose their steam.
