Anyone really think NIL $$ are good for college football in the long run?

For over 50 years , I’ve always preferred college sports over the NFL. Most of what shaped that perspective is being removed from the sport one block at a time.

Sure I’ll keep watching and rooting for the tigers, but I expect the experience will feel more like sundays than saturdays going forward.

NIL plus the transfer portal are game changers. Every school must adapt.

It all started because the NCAA rules prohibited kids from having jobs or getting paid from anything while they are student athletes. That’s an absurd rule. So start NIL - no socialized guidelines…

What you see now is all the under the table stuff happening right before our eyes. It’s crazy that Texas has sucked for so long. That’s all I have to say…

There are thousands of ways NCAA could have approached the problem in a way that protected the values of the sport- sportsmanship, teamwork , education / development, etc. Instead we through the gates open and add the no penalty transfer portal lunacy on top of it. They will try and put the genie back in the bottle and it will fail. We are watching the end of college athletics and the beginning of the minor leagues .

Can't be a minor league because you can't get sent BACK to college from the pros. What you can call it is developmental league, much like the Canadians have set up with junior league hockey. All they really have left to do is to classify the players as employees and drop the student part of student-athlete.

Not without rules/guidelines to even everything out. Otherwise, the richest schools will dominate college football - they will simply buy championships.

It wasn’t designed to be good for the college game. Quite the opposite, actually.
