I'm having a hard time enjoying the direction college football is headed. No one cares about a mercenary, you use them until the job is done or they fall off the line. A large percentage of players still need developed over time and a system of essentially being able to hire, fire, and poach them from other programs at will is not going to be good for a lot of these kids.
... and **** these letters essentially asking alumni for NIL donations. We were already getting several fundraising/donation letters a year and now they want us to fund the players too? **** off with that shit. I did buy some of the football cards that send a percentage of the money to the kids' pockets through an NIL deal. Interesting concept. Shit cards. I now have an on card auto that will probably be worthless forever and a stack of cardboard I should just use to start the fireplace with. |

I just no longer care about the players. They're now here today and gone tomorrow. With no loyalty flowing either way there's just no ****s to give. The reactions to injuries is going to be even more interesting. None of this is what college athletics are supposed to be about and I'm not sure it's a positive for anyone in the long term. We're going to see the affects of this stuff show up in the NFL. |

Throwing open the gates and turning it into the Wild West is somehow the most irresponsible thing the NCAA has ever done. That's an INCREDIBLY high bar folks. yet here we are.

It wasn't the NCAA. It was the Supreme Court, who basically said if the NCAA tries to put any restrictions on NIL they will get sued and lose.

Then you have a school like yours. I don't think MU was ever a serious playoff contender pre NIL. Now? I think you can make a pretty strong case we see them in the 12 team playoff team next year. Then you have your programs like a Nebraska. Not a chance without the portal that team doesn't contend for a bowl next year with the shape it was left in by consecutive awful coaching hires. A good QB addition in the portal and they will be a very competitive team next year. Then you have schools like Boise St or whoever which to be honest I never gave a shit about and yeah they are ****ed but I never cared for those Kellen Moore era teams. Yeah cute story they beat up on teams in a shit division and got lucky in some bowl games whatever |
