College Football Needs a Reset

Original thought.

If they reinstated the sit out a year if you want to transfer, it would solve a lot

The courts said they can’t.

You are never going back to what CFB was.


Gotta get creative and find a way to mold what we have now into something good.

Then these players need to start receiving 1099s

Are you under the impression this isn’t happening?

It’s truly incredible how uninformed some of you are

The tax framework is broken when it comes to college athletics. Many institutions and donors don’t have the expertise, knowledge and accounting skills to properly report and file.

Furthermore, many of the mega NIL earners have retained the major CPA firms for tax avoidance strategies. These strategies include trusts and offshore banking with entities removed 2x from the student’s name.

The current thought is for each athlete to receive a 1099 based on the value of tuition, housing, books, meals, tutoring, etc.

Make no mistake, eventually, college athletics will be reformed by tax law.

You will have e 15-20 mega universities that are semi pro factories - the rest of the universities will reset to a pure student athlete model.

I honestly think season and last season have been the best CFB seasons since 2008. Before the NIL and transfer portal there were a couple of teams with the best bag man network that dominated recruiting and built super teams. Once the super team won a natty then wins lead to an even easier time recruiting and it just got worse.

Now everyone's playing for players and nobody is able to stack a bench of 5 stars to dominate everyone. All the superior depth just transfers away.

Every single season in 2010s you would know who was going to be in the championship game by week 3. There were like 2 regular season games across 5 conferences that felt meaningful to the championship picture. It was boring as shite.

The only people complaining are the couple teams that benefitted from the bag man system who now are mediocre. That and LSU fans who can't cope with how terrible their inside linebackers are this season. Serious that run defense is embarrassing.

lol, please. The power has ALWAYS been with these schools. Go look up who’s won national titles in the last 30 years. There are probably less than 10 schools on the list.

The lack of regulation on the new rules in CFB is bad but overall the parity of the sport looks like it’s about to be in a pretty decent place all things considered.

I think many are missing the point - LSU is going to be left behind if no change is made and the same trajectory is kept.

Schools like lsu, miss state, Kansas state, just don’t have the cash on hand to compete against Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Florida.

Blow the whole dang thing up and start over. This current system is just awful.

Unfortunately there is no going back. College Football as we know it will never be the same again. We will try to convince ourselves that bowl games never meant anything and that the uniqueness of the regular season was always overblown but that will always just be denial.

5 out of LSUs 22 starters next year will have been players that played on SEC rivals in 2024

It’s a joke
