In addition, the coaches now have an additional management factor to deal with related to the players. it’s going to be a challenge as we all realize. If any of the posters have been youth coaches……you know what it’s like dealing with some of the parents that think their child should be getting more playing time. You not only have that on the college level but now you also throw in paying time.

A lot of players who actually contribute to team success were probably getting zilch because they enrolled prior to the NIL changes. It would be infuriating for them to see guys who have yet to do anything get paid.
Good thing they can freely transfer and find out w what the other employers think their worth

yeah but once you have a roster full of kids who only know the NIL era things would settle down

NFL locker rooms are full of income disparity and they seem to be able to function alright. NIL is new in CFB but if kept in its current format things will settle down. Heck i bet Prime is at Colorado telling his guys if they ball out they will get paid
The hierarchy in an NFL locker room is obvious to everyone, especially the players. It's not as obvious in a college locker room. Every kid going to a big program thinks they're going ot the NFL, and reality doesn't seem to set in for most of them even after a few years of riding the bench.

And companies have to give raises every year or risk losing their talent
I never thought college players would be truly considered as employees but that appears to be where we could be headed. Maybe the players will form collective bargaining organizations to present their demands to the universities.

Didn’t Northwestern try that a few years ago?

It would be a lot cleaner, honestly.

You sign a four-year contract, including a scholarship and some sort of minimum salary that is the same at all schools. Players can sign endorsement deals beyond that - much as union employees can negotiate above the base salary - as the market bears. You get one free transfer.

A structure like that would solve a lot of issues. I should go work for Charlie Baker.

It really is incredible. The NCAA fought for decades to make sure players weren't employees and along the way created so many problems that combined now threaten the future of the sport and the cleanest solution might be making them employees.

Its some real self-fulfilling prophecy type stuff. By fighting against having to employ the players, they created the exact situation that might force them to employ the players.

The Supreme Court told them the players couldn’t be employees.

The amount of top 150 talent A&M is losing is just insane. This board would need to be shuttered for months if this was ND.

I’ve heard there’s a few others visiting this weekend along with Kaleb Smith. Any word on who they might be?

Portal for specialists is the way. Dont tie up a scholly for four years if it doesn’t work out. Plenty get proven at lower levels where an nd grad degree or nd higher in season nil makes us super competitive.

Duggan entering draft - notable with Hudson Card.

Bo Nix returning to Oregon
Would TCU be a player for Card?
Nix sticking around takes one of the better-paying programs out of the QB transfer musical chairs, which is nice.
