What business has ever succeeded with their entire team on a 1 year contract
Well said.
At this rate it’s effectively a suicidal arms race.
Someone needs to step in and save them from themselves.

This is a known fact.
Assistants were signing on for a year or two just to get the resume clout.
I still want to punch a certain WR coach in the taint for having one foot out the door all season.

Donor fatigue will set in soon at most places
That's a good name for it.
Once programs hungry enough to throw money towards the opportunity to get a trophy, like the Indianas, SMUs, etc. get to a certain point, they'll either:
1. Win a championship and stop donating; or
2. See the novelty wear off and stop donating.
We're in the era of the smaller programs competing by bringing in large sums and recruiting elite athletes (which in turn dilutes the SEC, for example).
At some point that will trend down and those programs will become ambivalent again, realize it's too expensive to keep up, and drop out in some way.
The SEC will eventually come back strong in some form or fashion, but I'm afraid by then the landscape will have been irrevocably gutted.

Based on precedent, I find it highly unlikely that RJ Luis will be cleared.
quote:
LSU stirred up the college basketball world on Tuesday.
The program reportedly signed former St. John’s star wing RJ Luis to the roster after he declared for the 2025 NBA Draft. College basketball fans and some college pundits have bemoaned the fact coach Will Wade is signing a player who wants to return to the NCAA after signing an NBA contract with the Utah Jazz.
Luis will likely have to file a lawsuit to gain college eligibility.
“The NCAA has not and will not grant eligibility to any prospective or returning student-athletes who have signed an NBA contract (including a two-way contract),” NCAA president Charlie Baker said in a statement in December.

basically half foreigners who are in their 20's
When we played Illinois last year, they had a pre-taped segment during the game joking about how one player on their team spoke English.
On the court they communicated with each other in Serbian, I think.

Tell that to Indiana
Yes, to me it applies across all of collegiate sports.
People always find a way to get an advantage.
Having a team of guys as old or older than a professional team is one way that's currently en vogue.

Wouldn't doubt it.
Age certainly has to be a factor when 18-year-old freshmen are playing a team of 24-year-old former professionals.

SI: New NCAA eligibility requirements could impact recently-committed EuroLeague players

SIAP (I searched).
Looks like the NCAA might be trying to crack down on NBA and EuroLeague players by enacting eligibility rules tied to prior compensation, i.e. some form of "amateurism."
Who knows if they have the agency or the cojones to pull this off prior to the '26–'27 season, but it's certainly something to watch.

quote:
The guidance, distributed May 8 and obtained recently by Sports Illustrated, lays out updated pre-enrollment eligibility requirements largely surrounding compensation and professional team involvement. How aggressively the requirements will be enforced is unclear, but they lay the groundwork for the NCAA to push back significantly on professional players in Europe and other top international leagues enrolling in college.
In part, the guidelines state that prospective student-athletes who “entered an agreement with, competed on or received compensation from a team that participates in a league with minimum compensation that exceeds actual and necessary expenses” will not have their college eligibility reinstated. The document lists MLB, NBA, NFL, Premier League and WNBA as examples of such leagues, but other top basketball leagues globally could also qualify.
The EuroLeague, widely considered the top professional league in the world outside of the NBA, has a collective bargaining agreement with a minimum remuneration of approximately $58,000 net (post-tax) for first-year players in the league, almost assuredly exceeding the NCAA’s guidelines.
In recent weeks, several active EuroLeague players committed to college programs for the 2026–27 season, including Quinn Ellis (St. John’s), Saliou Niang (LSU), Márcio Santos (LSU) and Mantas Rubštavicius (Auburn). Each agreed to seven-figure deals between NIL and revenue share with their new colleges, according to sources familiar with their recruitments.
