Bunch of Putin loving Commies on this board!

Italics still means joking right? The market is generally self-correcting. These guys will get paid what they're worth even if it's more than WE (me included) think it should be. Maybe ND is underpaying them and we could be upset about that? Some athletes can earn money at whatever age, why not football players?

No problem paying them. Big problem with 0 regulation. Laissez faire is suicide. A good capitalist knows that. Bama is a monopoly in the age of NIL. Our best republican presidents signed anti trust laws for these kinds of reasons. Jimbo for instance is a literal modern day snake oil salesman. Someday the history books won’t look fondly on folks like him for being part of the demise of college athletics. Agree to play fair and come up with a system that pays kids while keeping the integrity of collegiate athletics at heart. Don’t be that guy that challenges the rules for your own dirty benefit while the vast majority side with integrity. What happens to the NFL if contracts are no longer valid and all rules are dropped? You think the Lions are bad now, what would they become with 0 rules?

Can you imagine the pressure on coaches and AD’s to play certain kids when the corporation wants a return on their investment.

I.e., Arch Manning. What a disaster for Texas if he isn’t as good as the next kid.

So USC flirted with Will Howard, Nelson transferred and then USC didn’t get Howard?

Yeah based on how the USC fans talked ab him, this might be one of the biggest evaluation whiffs in awhile. Just not a 5 star talent.

And they know that after like 5 minutes when he's coming back from injury?

That's wild.

Those USC fans are probably right. Boise State isn't an impressive place to end up
