The Next Shoe To Drop?

If I'm a player with offers, I'm going to the school with the largest number of potential autograph seekers and merchandise buyers. Texas will dominate.

I can see it now. Duke approaches the top 5 hoops prospects and says it has a deal in place with Nike to pay $1,000,000 each per year to model Nike gear for ads. Kentucky can only guarantee $500,000 so it signs zero players. Duke wins the NC. In football, USC offers each of the top 25 recruits $250,000 to act in TV comercials for LA companies for a total of $6,250,000. Bama is upset because its boosters can only put together the usual $5,000,000 per class. So, they offer $1,000,000 to the top 5 players. USC wins the NC

Interesting perspective
 
At the point where we're paying players based on their perceived worth, college football has no reason to be associated with a University. My only gripe here is that the NCAA takes in so much money and I don't think they give enough of it to the players. That's it. I don't care what some bama QBs jersey is worth and that he doesn't get a cut. I don't care that some kid is known across the nation but doesn't get more than his teammates.

To me the only way is to put all the money in a pot and divide it evenly. Or maybe there need to be limits on what schools can spend on sports. Yeah, I know they'll get around it somehow, but we don't even bother to keep things fair at this point. Save the commie stuff, it's about fairness in sports. The pros have salary caps, and right now college doesn't. So you get a few teams able to buy whatever they want and that's ruining competition.

Yeah, they’ve actually even fairly normal about our game and Franks and have distinguished us as being aware of where our team stands as opposed to F$U so there isn’t really much there. They’re getting better coaching right now than us and in a different place, unfortunately. I’m more focused on seeing what Manny and his coordinators do to rectify issues and right now it’s a concern, especially after watching the Enos Press Conference.

Same thing that happens to the majority of guys on a pro roster that don't get endorsements, they play and get a paycheck/free education like they do now.

So ... in 2023, this new law would only really benefit a handful of "big name players" on each team? No change for 95% of the players (maybe 100% of OL).

I was discussing the basketball ordeal in another thread. The part where you’re wrong is it will be Oregon promising more than anyone can. If Phil Knight wants them to win they will win. Period.

LA teams, and maybe Columbia now becomes a powerhouse (being in Manhattan).:)

Yep, Enos scares the **** out of me. I’m literally stunned he’s been this bad. Very concerning indeed good sir.
 
Congrats NCAA, you thumbed your nose at allowing players to be paid that now you’re going to be dealing with several states who will sign these bills into law. I hope all the bad things happen to your organization.

Then Oregon responds with the help of Nike, offering the Top 10 players in following signing class $2M each in endorsements.

Alabama then responds by building the world's first $750M athletic facility, and finds itself with over 50% of its annual budget devoted towards football.

Clemson responds three years later by building the world's first $1B athletic facility (which includes a Typhoon lagoon replica wave pool). Incidentally, school tuition fees exceed $125K annually.

Five years later, California becomes the first state to outlaw tackle football.

University of Florida goes all-in using its Gatorade royalties to pay "image fees" and suddenly the portal explodes with five star players begging to attend. But, at the last moment Harvard, with the world's largest endowment [nearly 40 Billion doallars], decides that sports are again important...........................

The "Ivies" will never allow it. A Trustee at Georgetown once said that integrating 85 football players into a 1,200 class is too hard. Stanford, Duke and Notre Dame are the only elite schools that try.

USC will pay these kids a fortune. Good luck to the KKK schools!

The quicker the National Communist Athletic Association is burned to the ground the better it is for football and it’s players. Make no mistake, ncaa is going down and they know it and they are desperate.

Well, don't include with your white WONDER BREAD public. Because the vast majority of those public fans come from solid middle-class and upper-middle class existences ( And have the COMFORTABLE life existence. ). And said public fans absolutely cannot relate to the majority of kids whom come from lower-development enclaves wanting to MAKE A BUCK! duh In other words, from across the tracks on the poor side of town! hUh
