Again, thanks for proving my point. Put Reggie Bush on ULL and he disappears. The USC brand was valuable. Reggie was not.

Ignore the other major sports and examples, cool cool.
But to move out of real life examples that I provided and play along with your wack a mole game...Leonard Fournette likely would have been drafted by a NFL team out of HS

Any of you who believe that every team was buying players under the table are morons. You really believe that schools,like Indiana and Duke were playing players yet lost year after year after year?
Just because the big southern schools sold their morals to win football games doesn’t mean everyone else did. I didn’t see Herschel driving a Camaro around Nashville or Durham. I didn’t see Cam taking snaps in Charlottesville or Provo.
NIL is proving all this in real time. Now that all teams can pay you have a lot of newcomers to the scene. And we are only in the infant stage of this. Give it 8-10 years and there will be very little difference between the #1 and #25 team. Indiana is literally spanking Alabama in 2026. If you can’t see the old days are over you eventually will accept it.

If you don't think putting generational talent Reggie Bush at ULL wouldn't have driven a significant infusion of media and $$ then I can't help you

Do we get to ignore the NFL’s rule about age eligibility? Because there would be a ton.
Again, the billion dollar industry that currently runs college football says you’re wrong.

The game (one way or another) is supposed to primarily benefit the students. I would say it certainly does.

The USC brand was built off of the players though. When they don't have good players no one gives a shite about USC.

The game will be fine and better - coaches will have to do more work and treat players better. Good players won’t get buried because of stupid one-sided rules.
More importantly it’s better for the players/kids. They’ll earn money during the only real window 95% of them will have to make money off their athletic and lifelong passion to date in their lives and hopefully do something good with that. At a minimum they learn how to manage (or not manage) money which only comes from actually having money.
Sure there will be challenges and not as much continuity of rosters for fans and cautionary tales but rules and economics should serve the players first probably but at least equally to coaches and universities

CFB will be more popular than ever. Teams like Indiana, Vanderbilt and others that have not been good will bring in new fans to the game while the vast majority of big CFB fans are not going anywhere.
Every year teams can retool and become relevant. It’s no longer just the big boys. This will attract millions of new fans whose teams were perennial losers are now players.
Fans from the big boys who can no longer just dominate purely off their name and history in attracting the top talent will be the ones bitching the most.

Kids not being resigned is not performance based?

And no one gives a shite about any of the players outside the framework of collegiate athletics.

Does NIL probably weaken the CFB product? Yes.
Is it the morally and economically correct thing to do? Also yes.
The unlimited transfers is what is causing NIL to hurt the product. It's difficult to build a culture with one year players

You do realize not every playing is transferring around for these big pay days. These teams are much more than just a select few big money transfers. They are nothing without the team around them and the coaching they receive.

Yeah, the NFL franchises could not care less about college football players. That’s why the definitely don’t devout millions of dollars and hundreds of hours scout college players and definitely don’t have an entire event where franchises take turns picking college players to add to their teams.

I agree with this. I think the product has suffered because players aren’t developing as well as they did in the past.

Do what I do..
Just watch the games and don't worry about names. No use trying to get to know the players, they'll likely be gone next year.

Geezus, you are stupid.
First off, what does the NFL drafting players have to do with their market viability as 19-22 year competing against one another?
Secondly, why aren't you railing against the NFL? They're the ones who restrict players from joining their professional ranks until they've been out of HS for 3 years.

I think it’s a dumb rule.
But not as dumb as suggesting there is no capital market for 18-22 year old football players despite the fact that there exists a multibillion dollar market for 18-22 year old football players.
