Is there a legal reason why you can’t set an age maximum? Other leagues have age limitations.

Eligibility should end on a player’s 24th birthday.

Perhaps I am being unfair but I view the one and dones and the floaters who transfer repeatedly as just another type of professional athlete masquerading as amateur student athletes

Their age is a pretty clear delineator.

Y’all can cheer for this all you want, but college basketball becoming dominated by marginal players who can’t hack it as pros who linger in college with the help of judges partial to a particular school is quite clearly unappealing and shitty. I have no interest in watching a Georgia team that’s structured that way.

I view an 18 year old Euro differently because of their developmental system, but if we need to ban them to get this shite sorted out, fine.

Something is off, for sure. He just doesn’t seem to have the social wherewithal to understand when it’s best to just not say anything or to just be respectful. He burns bridges pointlessly.

What he said isn’t actually specifically insulting to folks at OM currently, but a well-adjusted adult wouldn’t say it because there’s no reason to say something like that when you know it’s a hot button issue that will be stripped of context by the media.

While I know Georgia Tech is in the ACC, it's not like they are Florida State or Clemson.

As of this moment, GT is better than both. I’m just saying.

The 9-game conference schedule has backed the four conference teams with an OOC rival into a scheduling corner. It’s not just about SOS. It’s also about the number of home games.

The only OOC UGA should consider for a home and home other than GT is Clemson, and that should be done infrequently, unfortunately.

Expanded playoffs are the only legit form of a playoff.

Then why not just have a 130 team playoff?

What we saw last year was the first time where 2 teams had to play a true playoff with multiple rounds.

Does the year prior somehow not count?

I don’t think general timing trends from prior years are indicative of much any more, but I assume things would pick up this summer.

I guarantee if you’re one of the biggest donors for a college team you’re figuring out a way to make it back somehow

I do not see how that could reasonably be true with $50M football rosters. Larry Ellison isn’t getting shite back for his investment in Bryce Underwood, for instance.

I would think a more palatable and fair path to a level playing field would be an age cap. American kids should have to compete with internationals, but I don’t think it’s fair if the internationals are several years older.

You get to say you helped buy your team a championship at the next BBQ get together, but you don’t get any money back. How long does it last?

“I chipped in $100k to land that 4* RB.”

Sweet, now everyone knows you’re a sucker.

One of the problems with CFB is schools are forced to sell something (higher education) to athletes who may not be suited for it - or even want it.

Not everyone is college material fit for a classroom, but you can bet that any teenage freak of nature athlete out there who can’t spell his name but can help State U. win a natty is going to be pushed to go anyway when maybe (short of an NFL career) he would be better off in trade school or something else.

The push to win is so extreme that you have a lot of athletes on college campuses who do not really belong there. Hell, some of them don’t even belong outside of a prison.

Ok, but there are a lot of athletes that very much do belong in a college classroom, and the ones that chase their athletic ambitions even when it’s clear the pros aren’t a likely path are doing themselves a disservice.
