re: Players extorting team

Solution:

Let those who think they're good enough go straight to the NFL. If they make it, fine, but they forfeit their opportunity to play college football. Make it like college baseball. If they enroll in college and play football, they're not eligible for the NFL until after 3 years out of high school.

On the other hand, kids who choose to attend college and make a D1 roster are given a stipend of $2,500/mo. With education, room and board provided, if a kid can't live on $2.5K/mo, then let 'em go find something else to do.

And, go back to old transfer rule where a player must sit out a year and loses that year of eligibility.

Portal is the biggest problem. At best, 1 transfer and the NIL has got to be a contract where you get this amount of money for this amount of time. If you use your 1 transfer before the contract timeframe is up, you get a prorated portion of the full value. The portal is worse than free agency in the NFL, there has to be limits set.

That's the way the NCAA wants it, as well as MSM. It is a social program to redistribute wealth.....

I’m willing to bet you never made such a statement when coaches we’re leveraging the work of their players for multimillion dollar contracts.

The NCAA

I have agreement that portal ++ NIL needs a correction. Neither alone are incorrect.

This is the crux of the issue. It is nuanced. Neither alone is calamitous, but together, with few if any rules, they are very close to that.

But NCAA and courts took too long to find a good answer.

The NCAA took too long, and once the courts were involved, it turned into chaos. A lot of folks here cheered the neutering of the NCAA, understandably IMO, but that helped to create this snowball effect.

Until very recently, the NCAA has been acting like it was scared of its own shadow. They probably need a paradigm shift in how they approach their governance. Whether that is a new organization and new name, or gutting and rewriting the bylaws to reflect the realities of modern college football, it needs to happen.

They could start by place restriction on themselves regarding how long it takes them to render a decision for players seeking waivers and other rulings. I also wonder if including an agreement to submit any disagreements to binding arbitration, rather than filing suit, in both member and player contracts would make it easier to address issues in the future. Though I do not know what potential difficulties they may face across all the jurisdiction the NCAA operates.
operates.

Exactly! Extorting team and extorting fans.

WTF have you people been…. It’s Fukin over men. This shite game is completely done for. If you couldn’t see it coming 3 years ago you’re part of the problem. These players and agents give no fuks about the universities. It’s free enterprise in a horrible form. Shame too, they’re ruined the greatest sport in our country.

frick them players, right? NCAA built a billion dollar organization, universities have been making millions, coaches have been leveraging their own schools for better contracts, that’s where capitalism ends, because players are now doing the same. EA Sports was using player numbers and likeness to make millions. Now they get some retribution and it’s the end of it all.

This argument is at least 5 years old.

Were you expecting some other outcome?

Actually yes.

Player wants to go to College A for $xxx to play.... no problem. Player signs a 3yr pay for performance contact. Player doesn't perform, then the "NIL" sponsor can cut the contract and player after a season is over.

Kids want big money to play, they should be held to a binding agreement.
