"Man, isn’t this shite crazy?” Monken told reporters after Saturday’s preseason contest against the Bills, a game in which Wright didn’t play. “I don’t even know what to say. As far as I know, he’s had a medical issue that wasn’t allowing him to practice. That’s a medical issue. It has nothing to do with me. He was cleared, so we dressed him just in case we had to have him. . . .
“I don’t know what to say. I wondered why Lane Kiffin reached out to me a week ago, now I know. I didn’t call him back; I guess I should have.”

I'm not fully trying to play devil's advocate here, but an argument I could see coming up is why are players limited to 5 years of eligibility? I mean I've seen students take well over 4 years to graduate with a degree. One of my cousins, we always liked to joke, was legit on the 7 year degree plan. Ended up taking two semesters off during that time, one due to jumping out of a moving truck as a frat joke. You can imagine how that turned out. 
But it's not like we enforce a "you only have such and such amount of time to graduate with a bachelor's degree" to regular students. There's no time limit to how long you can be in college.
At this point, just split off college football from the rest of college sports and make the football players employees of the school. Offer them a set salary and set up a CBA for schools to follow, which would include that all contracts are 2 years, forcing players to commit for at least 2 seasons.

This shite is so damn dumb. I guess it’s nice lsu benefits but it is ridiculous

How is this possible? I thought that a player’s eligibility was over once he declared for the draft.

College coaches being able to call players in the NFL to try and recruit them is absolutely insane.

Doesn't seem to impact the NFL or any other professional sports league. They all have players on teams in "right to work" states that are still required to be in the Union and part of the CBA.
Here's what a lot of people fail to understand. A Company in a "right to work" state can still have positions that require you to be in a union. I know this for a fact, because I was in a position where I had to be in the union and was subject to the union CBA, in a right to work state (Florida).
What the Unions can not do is force you to pay union dues. You have to be given the choice whether or not you sign up for union dues. So in that union position I had, I elected not to pay union dues and therefore while I was still in the union, I did not have any voting rights.
Closed shop states can have positions where you have to be in a union and the union can force you to pay union dues. That's the main difference.
It would just need to be set up like the NFL. Contract the football team out to a third party contractor. Take LSU for example. Set up a "Geaux Tigers LSU Football, LLC." or whatever you want to name it and have LSU license the football team out to that private entity. That private entity then handles the contracts for the football players and everything else (living situation, practice facilities, doctors and nutritionists). Essentially LSU would just outsource to a private entity to field the football team.
All schools in the SEC and Big Ten do this. The SEC and Big Ten set up separate legal conference entities just for football. So yes, the SEC would have two different legal set ups for example. One for football and one for all other college sports. You then set up an NFL like entity where each contractor (for each school) has an equal vote. You then have a commissioner who runs this new college league.
Yes it would completely change college football as we know it, but that's already happening. And splitting football off will probably be the only way to save the other sports.

Wonder if any NFL GM is an ex Ole Miss fan or alumni. They could do the funniest thing

This might be the only non-insane path forward for CFB, but what about the other sports?
More specifically, where does the money needed for the other sport come from if CFB is it’s “own entity”?

Ole piss fans… why didn’t he want to play for Golding?

Okay then, explain then how the situation works with Bucs, Jags and Dolphins players in the state of Florida? The state of Florida is a right to work state, yet every single player on those teams is part of the NFLPA and subject to the CBA between the NFL and NFLPA.
