If there was a salary cap, don't you know teams would find a way to skirt the rules? They always have and they always will.

No, there's more than enough money to go around. Each SEC school will start making almost 100 million annually during the new deal with ESPN. Athletes across the board will sign a contract just like we all do when we're hired for a job. As long as it's collectively bargained, there should be no problems with compensation. Boosters can go back to paying for facilities and all of the other things they supplemented pre NIL. Get rid of each schools collective.

The LOVE of money will ruin it.

I have told many people that LSU won the last college national championship. All other will be tainted with turning college to pro.

Money is fine…problem is these kids get the money and are able to move on or subsequently ask for more
There needs to be a contract like in the real world
No more bouncing around or renegotiating

This is a boogeyman more than anything. There are multiple entire divisions that run full athletics departments without having a football program that makes any money at all.

It's not JUST the sport that's going down the pisser because if money and greed....js

He hung up his whistle because he knew he’d be really good at it.
Therefore, it would be taxing on his mind and body.
So I’m kind of glad he’s gone.

In the real world you can bounce around all you want.
Just give it some time. New markets always have volatility. These kids are speculative investments. Over time you get more data on return on investment, and patterns form. Will OU get bang for their buck? If not, the price will go down next year. And so on. This isn’t the collapse of something as much as a suddenly deregulated market finding its structure.

In theory, yes. But I think it will be a lot more complicated in reality. Namely Title IX. In a free marketplace the football and men's basketball players would command the highest salaries because those two (by and large) are the only profitable sports. However, you would have blowback from the female athletes to demand equal pay...under the auspices of federal law. So if the No 9 player on the women's golf team is getting paid the exact same "salary" as the All-SEC QB, what strong incentive do the football players have to collectively bargain? They like the current marketplace where they can be paid more of their market value without having to sign a contract.

Young good coaches will bolt for the NFL, older coaches will fade off into the sunset. All that will remain are middle of the road middle aged coaches who cant go anywhere else. The entire sport will suffer.
The coaches are not the only thing to matter. Fans are going to get tired of here today-gone tomorrow players and take a lesser interenst in the sport at this level. If that happens then the money evaporates.
If the governing body of CFB whomever that may be down the road has to stabilize the rosters for fans to stay in tune.

When everyone can give recruits a Dodge Charger it's harder to stay ahead of the game.

Probably not. He probably retired because he was old. The new landscape was just something that an old man can’t adapt to. If he was ten years younger he would have figured it out.

Saban has said that a big factor was that he had players who sat the bench and had no shot at starting come in, and demand a big pay day or they would transfer.
The problem is you will have desperate schools that can't recruit like Ole Miss and just plain desperate schools like aTm who will pay these mercenaries whatever they ask for to go to their school.

This move by OU will bite them in the butt, but this is kinda what desperate programs do. OU will not sustain this type of cash but make no mistake there will be a new desperate hopeful program every year.
Williams making more than everyone in OU football except Venables and more than the OU President and athletic director. Crazy times for a 9 month rental.

Is our baseball from last year and gymnastics title this year tainted as well? NIL was prevalent for both those squads.

Scholarship limits killed Barry Switzer as HC. He couldn't stockpile tons of talent with 200 scholarships.
Transfer portal and NIL killed Saban. He can't win recruits with process and rings alone. He didn't like re-recruiting the same players over and over again.
