Actually it is a two way contract. Scholarships are yearly and a university can not renew it if they choose.


It’s uneven. The university is limited in the # of people that can replace that player. The player gets out of their contract Scott free without penalty.

The player can absolutely bail before the season is up. Just look at LSU. The university isn’t going to just kick you out if classes during the semester. Unless you did some serious shite that basically gets you expelled. Like criminal stuff or cheating. shite even 1 time cheating prob won’t get you booted as a football player.

Correction: If they are getting paid, which many of them are now, then they are "pro" athletes.

I, like others probably, only watched ONE NFL game last year. The Super Bowl. I, like others probably, will watch only ONE NFL game this year. The Super Bowl. I used to live for the NFL on tv. No longer care.

At the very least, you can say they are not quitters.

Yep, so many issues.

And how about for the players who want to say "you know what, I think I want the chance to play in a couple of final fours for two different teams before I try out for the NFL"

No loyalty, ..pretty hard for fans to stay loyal to the love of the game and devote their time and money to the game as well. Very sad time for fans.

Lot of truth tbabino, a lot. More thought of how it would controlled should have been put in place before NIL was unleashed. No one will have the balls to try and reign it back in.

An LSU bowl game with over half of the players not playing for various reasons would not have happened just a few years. College football is being destroyed.

Never watched nascar and had no idea they banned that flag. But there you go, making it about race. You may be liberal (since racism is their go to) but you can't be liking the direction of this country even as a liberal?

Back to Nascar, if they really did do that, then talk about biting the hand that feeds you. I do remember the fake noose incident on the news. I have no idea what nascar ratings are, but they deserve to crash and burn for stupidity.

If you’re adjusting your level of fandom based on anything involving the Texas Bowl then don’t even try to convince me you’re some big fan of LSU.


I'm not even sure how you got this out of the OP

Always comical when a kid who has been a fan for 5 years tries to tell a fan of 50 years "he isn't a fan". Lol

NIL and Covid has killed it. Oh it may come back but I don't think so. It will simply be a highest paid draft pick now. Openly bribing players!

The confedrate flag is not about race---it is the flag of rebellion against the Untied States. But whatever.

Sometimes it hurts to tell it like it is. Facts are facts.
