This is why professional sports is hard to watch. Imagine Derek Jeter playing for the Cubs, then the Mets and ending his career in Boston after starting with the Yankees. That’s sports now.
College football is ending. I'm going to Costco for bottled water, non perishables, flashlights and other rations.
What are they getting?? Only 1% of college players make to pros. Not all these players are gettin NIL deals if any that will be life changing. There is no guarantee they will start or see the field after transferring. Sure, I will turn down a $300k free education to be a benchwarmer.
They can now move like the coaches do.
Loyal to the Irish until the end. Knowing MF is in charge helps me to stay calm.
You are correct. It’ll work itself out after a few years, but it’s chaos right now. The pasture isn’t always greener on the other side. A lot of kids will transfer and still not see the field, some will not even find a landing spot and eventually, the NCAA will realize kids aren’t graduating at unprecedented levels. This will be the worst impact of this. The goal is to graduate and has been lost in all of this because only 1% of them will sniff the NFL.
Just always remember, the millionaire coaches were the first ones to move with no accountability.
IDK, if the money is in broadcast rights rather than attendance then they’ll get more $ catering to the gamblers and NFL fans.
Sure. And that, plus the schools that got fat on tv money while refusing to compensate players, is what started this. The supposed adults in the room are the ones who got us here.
The compensation is a free education. Without football most of these kids would not be going to college. Companies make billions off their employees. Does that mean every employee should get a million dollar bonus??
One major difference is the players are the product. Not the case for most jobs. Ratings would be pretty poor watching Bob dick off at his cubicle all day.
If schools actually prioritized the education part, then maybe that helps restore the contract of amateurism. But most don’t (Notre Dame being a noble exception). Schools have very little credibility here when they’re funneling football players into phys ed majors and processing the bottom of the depth chart out of the program as quickly as possible, all while using the TV money to fund bloated athletic departments.
Nope, that’s why I’m currently teaching my 2 year old son how to form tackle the dog. Going for a scholarship and NIL funding from Purina.

Not going to be happy if Tobias or any of the young LB's are among those surprises.
If you work for IBM are you prohibited from making money off your personal YouTube channel?
People are saying Sneed is one of them, but no confirmations anywhere.
The most I've seen about Sneed are thirsty Gamecock fans trying to will something into existence since they finished second for him. No legs to this at all....... so far.
