What you are going to see is the next Joe Burrow throwing a football to Morris Bart, in a tv commercial.
Is he an LSU booster already? If so, his donations will go down proportionally to what he pays Burrow (I'd imagine). If not, why would he care all of a sudden?

Kodar,
You got downvoted, but you are absolutely correct.
CFB really caters to less than half of that, IMO. You have 120+ schools that can "qualify" for the CFP.
Reality is the same 5-6 Tier 1 Bluebloods will always be in the mix, no matter what they do, then there is everyone else.
The reality of a four team playoff only made my statement above more correct, as the rules for qualifying change depending on the Tier of the team and their "need" at the time (for example, not winning their conference but still getting in).
These bigger programs are already paying the players. This won't change much.
What will happen is now women will complain of the pay gap in college sports, and it will be hilarious.
What will also add confusion is now you have men competing as women in college sports too, so that will be a fun cherry on top of the nonsense.

All I’m trying to say is this doesn’t make schools in “big markets” all the sudden national powers like people seem to say.
Teams like Alabama, Texas, Ohio State etc will just get richer
Richer doesn't matter if they can't (legally, but bear with me here) drop a bag of money on the table for Recruits A, B and C. Sure, boosters can pump money into a program for better facilities, nutrition, tech, etc. But those are all things that remain with the university after the players leave. Telling a high school kid "we'll give you $50k and a new Challenger to come play here" is totally different

Says who? A lawyer may not be the best example, but if some business were to pay for a player's likeness, in essence just to have them go to their preferred school, and that player is a superstar, you just drummed up interest in the program. Now you're the guy who got so-and-so to go to the school, you've got commericals with him, a picture of you shaking hands on the wall, and most importantly, more eyes on the TV watching your boy play and throw you a football during the commercial break.

Not really sure I get what you’re saying here
This doesn’t seem at all what they’d be doing under this new rule
Or are you just saying this will happen with these new rules?
if this is how it’s going to be what means the same schools that are at the top now Won’t keep doing it with the new rules?

Exactly. I don't see why people don't see this.
eta-Example-UW O lineman get put in ads for the local Caddy dealer and get the leases picked for new Escalades.
Just one obvious example.

quote:Accurate summary. The G5 is irrelevant on the national scale. UCF has provided all the evidence of that lately we need. I'm not here to argue whether or not UCF should've been considered, just that the G5 is viewed as irrelevant. That alone knocks out roughly half.

Reality is the same 5-6 Tier 1 Bluebloods will always be in the mix, no matter what they do, then there is everyone else.
Then you have the P5, of which roughly another half are irrelevant because they don't have the resources (i.e. money to pay players) currently. You're left with a pretty small number of teams that have 'realistic', whatever that number may be, chances of actually winning trailing behind the bluebloods with loads of cash in tow.
TL;DR parity has not, does not, and is not going to suddenly exist in CFB. CFB would have to go through tremendous, massive overhauls before parity can even enter the conversation.

Yea you’ll see this in markets that genuinely give a shite about college sports
Your local NYC auto dealer isn’t going to get Rutgers kids to do it, because no one cares
They get Aaron Judge or Saquon Barkley to do those ads
Or in Chicago they get Patrick Kane Or Khalil Mack.

I'm trying to view this logically.
If I care enough about LSU to pay a player to go there, I'm already donating to TAF, no?
Am I going to keep my donations up while adding a player to my payroll? I tend to think they'll be reduced dollar for dollar. If I'm donating $1000/yr, I'm not going to add another $500/yr for a player, I'm just going to reduce my donations accordingly.

I didn’t have WiFi at work, get it back and spend my time on a meaningless Star Wars thread when I should have been here. Awesome.
Darla Moore need any interns?
NewSpring about to have a bunch of paid choir boys now. Gonna have to pass that plate out an extra time or two during service. Maybe get Baby Billy Freeman to stop by their North Charleston store.... “church” at some point.
EA finna eat - in 2021. Even if they started production tomorrow morning, they won’t have a gams worth a damn for at least 18 months.

Kodar,
Correct. Ironically, the media entity that runs the sport is also responsible for slowly killing it in terms of attendance and parity.
But no one sees that either.

I really don’t think non traditional schools that just happen to be in big markets will get big because of this
I completely agree. I think Northwestern is a decent example though. Moderate P5 success. I think, once this goes through, these schools will start punching above their weight in recruiting. What I imagine is a recruit listing his top programs and those programs putting packages together for him. In that you'd have schools leveraging the economic power of a city like Austin, Chicago, or Los Angeles against that of Columbia or Lincoln.
