agree but I do find the 5th year football players to be unique. Many of them would not have gone pro if the did not believe they were out of eligibility. NCAA releases a new rule
You can blame the NCAA once again for their bad timing. If they wanted this to be different, they should’ve waited till the end of this current season to make that rule like in December.

Our roster may end up costing more than the Miami Marlins when it’s all said and done.

Yep but I also hope LSU winning the Natty this year BREAKS the current college football NIL/Portal model! I hope Lane burns it to the ground and we get a hard reset back to a more Traditional CFB model!
How does this happen? A collective vote amongst college football fans?

Bama been doing it for 20years. I’m real good with doing it.
No shite Bama and others(LSU INCLUDED) have been paying for years but I’m willing to bet it wasn’t near 50 million

These are the current parameters of college football.
Someone is going to win the National Championship this season and I'm much more okay with it being LSU than not.

These aren’t NFL players we are signing they are players who couldn’t even make a 53 man roster

Of course we are…and every team would feel the same.

Sure, but I acknowledge that it’s awful for the sport and will lead to less interest and related problems in the future.
It’s a completely untenable framework.

It is now a high salary developmental league......they just wear LSU uniforms and play in Tiger Stadium.... many are not student athletes!
Good summary. I've decided to change my outlook in an effort to see the reality of this situation.
The LSU football, basketball and baseball teams are now Baton Rouge minor league franchises. Try to acknowledge the fact that they are ALL professional athletes now. I say good for them. The market will regulate their income.
GEAUX TIGERS!

Honestly, I think it sucks that this is happening to College football.
But, if the competition is doing it, you have to join in to compete.
That said, I hope they find a way to reign all this in...

It already is in a box. It only applies to a very specific group of players. What you are saying that this opens the doors too is completely different and irrelevant.
