Nah...just lose what little authority they have over CFB

They're still very relevant in regards to other non revenue sports and lower divisions but if they lose the TV rights to March madness they'd be in serious trouble.

The last three years, I’ve seen my interest in CFB slowly decline. It’s been dead for CBB for a while now, but March Madness will always have an appeal.

As for football, I used to hate the idea of missing ANY big game in Saturday. Then it got to where I only cared about LSU. Even that is fading away.


I feel the same from the season of BLM to pay for play I've lost interest in most sports.

2032 is the end of the tv rights between the NCAA and CBS/Turner. But the trademark of "March Madness" is owned by the NCAA. I don't know if I'd want it to ever be called something other than March Madness

For that kind of money, why not just spend it on 22 and 23 year olds who are men.

Also, I think Georgia or any other traditional football power could easily go to a pay for performance model and attract all sort of talent every year from other college teams. Call it the NFL grad school or something.

I love all THIS!! Kirby and UGA are just mad inflation has hit their payment system. The whining by Kirby is like sweet Mountain Dew. If any fans are buying anything guys like Kirby are spewing then they deserve to lose the sport they claim to love. The vast majority of college teams have seen recruits flip due to payments for over 40 years. This is nothing new to those fanbases. But now that fanbases of the schools who have been buying classes for decades are now losing players they are screaming that the sky is falling. It’s just awesome. The sky is not falling. The landscape has just changed. Adapt or die. No different than any other era of changes. Folks who took advantage of the previous system always whine the loudest. I don’t see 80% of teams whining. I see 80% of teams now able to buy recruits like the 20% have already been doing. And poof - the SEC hasn’t had a team in the National Title game in 2 straight seasons. Coincidence? I think not.


Happy for you


I don’t have the time or the energy to follow the comings and goings of a bunch of 19 year old primadonnas at this point.

We drop our son off at UF Sunday and he’s going to play football for them because he loves it. Basically no NIL $…though every kid HAS to sign a deal. I bet most kids don’t get shite…starters…a different story.

Kickers are people too.

He moves in with 4 other players and I bet none of them are getting much. 105 players on the team, 30 probably eat up 90% of the NIL.

1 or 2 years might be enough in this system.

Saban would probably be the 1st to do this if he were still coaching. He always figured out ways to have more guys to pick from, within the rules of the game. Taking guys for a year or two would be kind of like him taking Richard Mullaney, the senior WR from Oregon State, for just the 2015 season.

I was told they just wanted to make a little pocket money signing autographs so they could afford to take their girlfriend to Applebee's and shite.

so when they decommit, they'll pass the invoice of the money already spent to the new school plus a new bonus plus superseding what was previously given.

Yeah the Israeli guard McMahon got made me think about just going outside the states for professional leagues and bringing them over. 27 year old playing tennis? what a joke.
