re: I don’t think the ranters would have a problem with NIL if we had A&M’s signing class

Okay.. and the point of this post is that you would not have the same tune today if LSU benefited from this system and becomes one of the 5-10 “haves”

I think you’re selling our boosters short. If they want to spend the money on a recruit, they’ll play the game

The ones that are getting paid aren't coming here for books, free lodging, and an education lol. Don't act like they are. They are brought in to produce in football and football alone. The stadiums are packed because of the product on the field. You want the best you have to pay for it. The truth is it always has been a minor league football league but people like to pretend it was school spirit or some shite.
That’s a HUGE pill to swallow for a majority of this board who are mad that college kids can get endorsements.

Wrong. People have been saying this day was coming since well before NIL was even a thing.
And, I haven't seen people saying do away with NIL. What I do see is people saying we need some structure to it.
And that is for the good of the sport.
I want CFB to be relevant 10, 15 and 20 years from now. If some tweaks aren't made we are going to see the sport change so much that many will look elsewhere for entertainment.

I disagree. It would suck to only have 5-10 schools really trying and able to compete and the others unable to. Ive said it before, its like a fantasy football league where all the teams quit except for 1 or 2. Those 2 pick up all the players and keep playing and nobody else cares. It makes the whole league a waste of time. Thats where we're headed.

Agreed and I think it will happen. This thread was mainly directed at the chicken littles saying NIL would be the death knell for college athletics just because a player can make money from an endorsement deal

Sorry but LSU boosters are in the poor house compared to the Big $ and Business in Texas.
Had this discussion last weekend with the #2 guy in a billion dollar national company based in TX.

We don't have A&M's signing class because our program has been a dumpster fire for over a year... and very unstable.
And we fired the coach.... And the new coach has only been here, what, 2 weeks?
You guys are NUTZ... expecting a Top 10 class with all of the drama that has gone on at LSU the last 12-18 months....

You’re giving way too much credit to A&M. If LSU wasn’t changing coaches after back to back terrible seasons, A&M doesn’t have this class.

Is Chicken working on something with tigerdroppings yet?
The owner of UT's message board, along with Rob Blair, created a program to fund UT's tight end group.
quote:
The creative “Burnt Ends” program will enable the Longhorns’ tight ends to monetize their Name, Image and Likeness by tapping into the zealous community within the popular Texas message board, Surly Horns, and beyond. Organizers are characterizing this initiative as the nation’s first fully crowdsourced NIL program, with all of the profits funneling directly to the Texas tight end room.
The Burnt Ends program could serve as a blueprint for other large fan bases of the biggest college sports brands.
The brains behind the Burnt Ends operation are two swashbuckling characters, Rob Blair and Rick Vasquez, who are as fluent in NIL legislation as they are in four-letter words. The objective for Blair, the director of sales for a shipping company in Houston area, and Vasquez, a serial tech entrepreneur who owns Surly Horns and is an executive at a Fortune 200 company, is to enable all players in a position group to enjoy the fruits of the NIL era, not just the stars.
While standout running back Bijan Robinson is “going to get taken care of,” Blair told On3, “the fourth-string tight end who’s receiving nothing is who we need to take care of. … It was kind of kismet. It was too easy of an idea.”
Surly Horns states on its website that the mission is to sponsor the Texas tight end room and to maintain yearly endowments to attract and keep top tight end talent in the program.
Here is how the program works: Each tight end will receive the same monthly share. There is a four-figure monthly baseline dollar guarantee for each tight end. Anything crowdsourced above that also will go into the tight ends’ pockets. It’s an August-to-August annual deal, Blair said, meaning that if a tight end switches position

Things have changed. Tamu has that class because of NIL. Lsu is going to struggle to keep up. This is changing the face of CFB. It is what it is.

No but this is something I can get behind. I think we can set up a payment program for a position group.. say DBU? Let’s stop getting mad and try to “sponsor” Denver Harris and Jacoby Matthews, people

True statement.
Also, if the NFL had an actual minor league, that would impact top level college football significantly more than the current system. Most of the top level college football players would not be college football players if they could immediately get paid to play minor league football and compete for NFL jobs.

NIL in its present form will greatly diminish the sport. And many are saying leave it alone and they should get whatever they want, whenever and however they want.
Sign, take a NIL deal, get coaching, a scholarship, room and board, start for your team and then transfer and get a new NIL deal with no consequences. That is an incredibly one sided deal there and is bad for the sport.
That is what NIL is today.

There will be changes, no doubt. But, if I a kid like Frazier, the LT from FIU, wants to switch schools because he improved tremendously from year 1 to 2. And he wants to get paid for that improvement?
I don’t mind it. There needs to be rules on restrictions for transfers but, you can’t touch players’ right to get endorsement deals. You can bitch all you want but, it’s legally in their right to get as much money as they want if the market deems it
