I think with a ranked UF & FSU (top 25 wins by blowout), the narrow losses on the road wouldn’t have hurt. Miami would’ve edged out Bama & SMU

bruh this is just an antiquated way of thinking. You are likely like me and a little older and remember the glory days and great games between FSU and Miami when that was basically the NC game. So on one hand I totally get where you are coming from and the nostalgia in me wants that again BUT That ish aint ever happening again, that was also before all the TV contracts and ease of travel. Everyone gets publicity now.

Also if they suck, it doesnt make the rivalry any less, what could make it less is the portal and we have guys jumping back and forth but look at the redsox and yankees as an example, yankees won like 30 championships and sox zero, didnt mean there was not a rivalry still. We will still hate them and them us.

And to your point I agree if both with top 25 then we are likely in, but that is a case by case situation, dont you think your argument is still true if instead of UF and FSU being top 25, Louisville and Cal were top 25? Like lets just root for other people on the schedule to be top 25 lol I dont care if Cal is top 25 every year, good for them.

Capping coaches salaries would be illegal too. The only way to cap salaries are through collective bargaining agreements. The coaches would have to bargain, as a group (essentially unionize), and agree to a salary structure.

Only thing I think they could do is make rules if you transfer more than once you have to sit out. don’t think they can cap the kids because schools like fsu are broke crying .

The argument then becomes, does forcing a player to sit out limit is ability to make money? Are the transfer rules now a term and condition of employment? One side of the "relationship" created a rule without bargaining its impact.

Not NIL money.

Compensatory “pay for play” could be caped under a collectively-bargained scenario.

Congratulations, NCAA. Through delay and litigation, you managed to keep free labor going for over 100 ..years. But all good things come to an end…

...stupid comment.

playing college sports on a full ride is not free labor. its a paid internship to show off your skills, develop and have a chance to get a "job" in the pros

What a ******* stupid porst.

It is free labor. The NCAA is not providing scholarships, dip****. Every dime the NCAA makes on TV rights and merchandise and video games, and all the money they spend on salaries and lobbying and lawsuits comes as a result of all that free labor.

And whether the NCAA shares some of that largess with universities does not change the fact that the NCAA has been draconian about “amateurism” rules for decades. Look up the case of the female athlete who was deemed to have received extra benefits because she hooked up a hose to a university faucet to wash her own car.

You just made one of the dumber porsts to ever disgrace this board. What kind of a moron argues that anyone needs to do a 5-year internship to get a job? Particularly when there are rules that prevent anyone from cutting short that “internship” before 3 years have passed.

Terrible take, you’re supposed to root for your rivals. So, when you beat them, you get credit for it. If FSU & Florida were both 9-3 and ranked, Miami makes the playoff in 2024.

You are logically correct, however, many of us can’t do it, notwithstanding that it could’ve easily been the difference. I still rooted against both.

Not sure about his line of thinking being logically correct. An earlier poster pointed out that it'd be much easier to recruit agains a 3-win FSU and UF team than a 9-win one. I agree. I want to see them down and I want us to take advantage. Don't fret so much over strength of schedule. If we win out or lose only 1 game or simply win the ACC, we're more than likely in playoffs. The argument could've held more water when there was only 4 playoff teams or back in the bowl game era, but even then, **** FSU and UF.

Did Trumpycane read this right?

“You’re suppose to root for your rivals”

Has to be one of the dumbest things ever posted on this site

That’s exactly how I saw and see it. If we wanted in we shouldn’t have choked it away when it was in our hands.

I humbly suggest this root for your rivals debate end in this thread. This is Nole tears. Start a thread somewhere else if you want to extol how virtuous it is to root for the Noles. I’m surprised you are allowing this hijacking.

Huh??? I don’t root for the Noles, number one. Number two, I hardly read this thread… or the rest of the recruiting and main board for the past 6 months for that matter. I literally read like three posts randomly in here and have no context of anything on this thread which I haven’t followed in years and you’re scolding me??? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Somebody else can deal with it. I don’t give a ****. I’m sure there’s regulars in here like @TheOriginalCane and @OriginalCanesCanesCanes who will gladly defend the honor of nole tears or maybe a Maude who regularly posts in here… they can handle it. @Brains hates noles more than anyone I know. He’ll kill everyone of them in here for you just let him know.

Yeah, it’s logically correct on my opinion but like I said, i rooted against fsu and UiF regardless. I’ll never root for either of them. We should have taken care of business and then it’s not an issue.
