Lose interest everyday in college football beyond Nebraska.
Yep, literally destroying what was imo the best sport.
These deals should be absolutely public if these kids go to any public or private school that accepts ANY state or federal tax money.
everyone deserves to know what kind of shit is going on if any tax money goes to these schools.
JMO
Also, the NIL collective should list what they are giving to each athlete. All this crap is keeping me from making any more 1890 contributions. If I knew it was being put to good use I would be likely to donate more. Until then I guess I am going to stop giving because this is out of hand.

What about back-loaded NIL deals? Cornel Wall Street billionaires set up the following program years ago to get elite wrestlers to come to this Ivy League school. They built the wrestling program into a consistent top-10 finisher.
Since Cornel cannot offer athletic scholarships, the athlete signs a X year post-graduation work contract with a firm at a set salary, say $150,000/year.
Can it work in NCAA football? 1. It would encourage players to stick with one school. 2. If they make the NFL, the contract would still be in place if he gets hurt or retires. 3. A coach sitting on Mama's couch explaining to her that her son needs a back up plan might be the ticket.
I don't know the formula, but this free agency NIL thing, I agree, is hurting interest in the sport. And don't even get me going on Bowl games.

Good luck coaching kids when they make more money and live in nicer houses than their position coaches.
I'm with you. This shit is starting to get ridiculous. I was ok with the Name Image and Likeness. It's full on now just pay for play and they need to figure it out.
Sure would make for an awkward locker room. Unless this kid gets his own.
Not ridiculous for an alleged payday. He caught 8 passes in 5 games this year. He will surely double that number of catches next year and will then look for a pay bump to an alleged million or so for 2026. Inflation is everywhere.
Of course this is alleged peanuts compared to Dylan’s alleged 12.5 mil offer.
collective bargaining is coming
standard language is coming
agreed-upon terms & conditions are coming

Something needs to be done. Clearly the NCAA took a "Fvck around and find out stance" with this whole thing. Anyone with a brain could see this mess coming from a mile away.
Thank goodness for the new playoff format or fans would be turning away from this nonsense year over year.
for the millionth time, the NCAA did not take a "f around and find out" stance.
the NCAA have been fighting this in congress and in the courts for years. spending millions upon millions lobbying against it. for many, many years.
they lost because the old way of doing things was (correctly) ruled to be in violation of US antitrust and antilabor laws.
