I agree, the NIL has changed the game. My only hope is that when kids start making their money off of NIL that a ruling comes to make them pay for cost of attendance like every other student. They have some dam good income on these deals. I have no problem with them being paid but they should pay their on way like very hard working American. I know some will say I am foolish to think that they should not get a scholarship but I do know we as working class people have to pay out on way.

I think they ought to eliminate the NIL and juts let kids go pro at any time they feel they want to.
To me the best solution is to keep the system in place where a kid signs a scholarship to have his educaton and living expenses paid in leiu of representing a Unversity in sport is a noble endeavor. That has value. Ask any parent who is paying for their kid to go to an SEC school or better yet any kid who is trying to pay for it all himself.
If a player thinks he want to go pro let him but this 'sponsorship' / pay for representation is chaos and will lead to alot of rule breaking / cheating by Universities at a scale that's never been seen before.
Go pro or stay in school as a student athlete amateur.

Allowing the players to transfer with immediate eligibility should go away. It now leads to “injuries” that permit players to go to rivals with no penalty.

Again, what’s changed if you’re a Texas Tech fan?
Your chances of winning a NC are exactly the same. Texas and A&M are buying players exactly the same. Hell, we stole 2 transfers when you still had to sit out.

I think they ought to ... just let kids go pro at any time they feel they want to

I still cannot believe there are people that think this paying of players has not always happen going back to the Bear Bryant days. I guess ignorance is bliss.
No one is saying this.
The amount of money has increased dramatically and changed the game.

I would not take that bet. See SMU and that was like the 1980s.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

But this NIL crap is the end of college football as we all know it. And it ain't good. Honestly, it ain't good for the athletes, either. It further ingrains the entitlement mentality that these kids are raised in, and coddled with, from middle school.
This a zillions times. It's become NFL lite.

I started losing interest in 2020 and now it's fading quickly. I don't watch pro sports at all four years ago. I just have this stale taste in my mouth from watching these entitled kids become more entitled. I don't know but I can't see it getting any better.

the roster turnover every year is going to be a bloodbath
Facilities are going to start taking a backseat to NIL competing for dollars. Lower tiered athletes not getting NIL will be more attracted to that. I can see teams with decent facilities getting quick commitments from 3* athletes for teams with good facilities knowing they aren't getting 5* NIL.
Fast forward, that same 2* or 3* blows up FR or SOPH year will be whored out to the portal with the original teams only benefit is giving them their 1st offer to stay.
Buckle up baws. shite's gonna get wild.

I'm 83 years old and have been an LSU fan all my life so far. Things have changed a lot in college football that I just don't understand. No one goes for 4 years any more it seems to me. Then the transfer where after a couple years they are off to supposedly greener grasses. They won't play in bowl games because they might get a scratch. That might mess up my draft options. But the main thing is they are getting a "free" ride. How lucky can you be. And this free ride is really on us the fan. I just don't understand.

Actually it’s more popular than ever, but ok.

The payments didn’t start in 2020. It’s not the money it’s the transfer portal rules that are killing it.

They need to instate a low NIL cap. Everyone is considered a free agent. Ruining college ball.

This is the thing that really disappoints. No more watching a guy develop in 3 4 and sometimes 5 years. When you get used to rooting for a guy that long and watching him grow and develop. Your really invested and you want him to do well and improve. Bragging to friends or other fans like yeah man I been watching him 3 years since he got here. "He just needed some weight" "took a little longer for him to learn the playbook" or "he finally switched positions and man has he done well"...
That I kind of feel is all over.
Last guy for me is Neil Farrell. Watched him grow watched him get better and better keep struggling to see the field, and finalyear he balled out. Don't think this happens very often now.

It is. Look at A&M's class.
The NIL rules were never put together rationally. Kids will declare for the portal every year now seeing what deals they can get.

Now look at them barely out of highschool players, that's the way you do it
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb so better sit out the bowl game.
Meanwhile back at the ranch ( campus ), most students even the ones that have excelled in school are going to class and working at Dennys to help pay for school and maybe a little bit of pocket money.

I wonder if some universities could form their own non-NIL , true student athlete , league with no transfers. Commit to a university for 3 or 4 years and that’s it. Want to be NIL? A&M is that way. Bama is that way. We play Stanford week one if you want to come here. Eh. Just thinking out loud.
