John Butler

I know many—including myself—were lukewarm about this promotion, but I don’t know how the debut could have been any better. Offense made some clutch plays, moved the chains in critical situations, and had enough points, but the defense won the day.

We stopped them on 4th down…what?…3 times? Stopped a critical 2 point conversion attempt?

Awesome defensive performance. If this is who Butler is, I could learn to love the guy as defensive coordinator.

NIL and College Sport Disaster

Recruiting Portal Football Players with “Bags of Money” will force every school to Re-Recruit their entire roster of 105 every year.

Because others will be Recruiting their top level players and the remaining players are going to want proportionate share.

There are no rules for 3rd party representatives prohibiting contact with players any day of the year. And they will and are. Portal entry already doesn’t matter. Every Coach and School will experience being undermined constantly. This is going to lead to disaster within the sport starting now.

College Football provides the revenue that pays for the Sports Programs at most schools. NIL money by itself will not save some schools.

Without Change, think about every school churning the top 25 returning players every year. Coaches will continue leaving the profession in much larger numbers.

Schools will experience pressure to solicit NIL dollars constantly, in huge chunks. And this will pit Sports vs Academia even more for those dollars. It’s not a pretty picture.

How do you see it?
