It’s not too late to embrace European soccer. Its closest thing you’ll ever get to pure old school college football

From CBS Sports. Holy shite. I guess I’m glad I’m a fan of one of the “rich” schools.

quote:

The NCAA and its conferences will hammer out the details of new revenue-sharing and governance models over the next few months, but a framework was revealed in internal documents uncovered by multiple outlets in recent weeks. Athletic departments must now prepare for new line items that could balloon up to $30 million annually as the richest schools prepare to share upwards of $22 million in revenue with players while expanding roster sizes with unlimited scholarships, according to those documents.

What I'm interested to see is how do they pay the players. Do they treat athletes like on-campus employees like the students working in the financial aid office or something. In this instance they would pay all student athletes roughly the same rate. Let's say women like $45,000. Good money for a college student, but you just know the star players are not going to go for that.

Or, if schools opt to pay the players based on their skills & notoriety. That is just the wild wild West. The starting Heisman hopeful is getting paid 5 million a year, meanwhile you have the 4th string quarterback is getting minimum wage. Not to mention, the NCAA is gonna have to implement some sort of salary cap, otherwise sense of fair competition is out of the window.

This whole thing is a giant nightmare. In any case, I don't see a way that non-revenue sports survive.

Every single change that has been made in college sports in the last 15ish years has made it an objectively worse product.

It's not college football anymore. They are now paid professional athletes.

This. This x50000

How does Tulane/ULL/La Tech/etc compete.
Mid majors are like minor leagues now (even more than current).

I hope somebody with a lot of $$$ decides to frick the NCAA, and fund a competing league bringing in mid-majors.

The fact this is being done makes me think the traditional powers didn't like the way NIL leveled the playing field with non traditional power schools.

Next step is players suing to establish the fact that they don’t even have to be be students since they are employees first.


They need to go form/join some minor league then, or go play in the CFL. No need for them to have a university's name on their jersey.

Colleges are gonna partner with those investment firms that will run college sports
You basically have an entity that will be totally separate from the university itself

The ramifications of this will be huge going forward
Owners can sell their franchises if they want in pro sports

I firmly believe the non power 5 and lower will have to form their own models or drop sports altogether
The days of power 5 funding their entire departments are over
