College Athletes can now be paid directly by schools to play

A CBA will be coming in the next few years.

Also, I suspect the other 27 conferences to eventually break away from the NCAA and form some other entity because the NCAA approved the settlement without giving any thought to the little guys.

I suspect we’ll then see a group of teams outside of those 27 conferences that are on board with paying players join together and create a 5th power conference to go along with the P4. Basically G5 schools that generate $50M+ in revenue (JMU, Fresno, Boise, UNLV, Colorado State, SDSU, UConn, Liberty, USF, Memphis, ECU, etc.).

This is terrible for college athletes as a whole and I completly disagree that college athletes should've been receiving a portion  of the money they generate from the college they represent. 

I think he colleges, that were, making money from Names, Images and Likenesses should have been forced to use that money to decrease overall tuition cost to accomplish what the purpose of the institution, which is educating the people, instead they've all been linking their pockets and raising tuition every year. 

Now they're going to monetize these kids directly because they don't give a Fat Albert about them, but their development, not their mental health, Nothing!

I am wondering if it will eventually get to the point that a guy like Bryce Young, if he fails in the NFL, can go back to college and pick up where he left off and make a lot of money.  


Funny… get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th degree.

Thats terrible for the sport though because that behavior would block opportunities for younger guys which would impact the NFL down the line.

So what happens when the kid underwhelms relative to his compensation to play college football for Whatever State University?  Can they now be cut/fired, because they're employees more so than student athletes, or will the "their just kids, let them grow" narrative remain?  Business is business, can't have the cake and eat it too.

Think questions like this among other things is why we’ll see a CBA in a couple years. Eventually I think we’ll see college athletes, at least the elite one’s, signing contracts.

Ummm... they've been monetizing them for decades. Now they're just forced to actually pay the help.

      Mike Kaye’s take: 2026 NFL free agency predictions

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      A 2 year deal for Coker would be terribly short sighted as I pointed out in another thread the other day. T-Mac will be eligible for an extension after 2 more seasons, and while there is still 2 years to go, he's very much looked like the type of player you extend right away, knowing waiting will only cost more money and take longer before the contract becomes a bargain with rising contracts every year. So if we sign Coker to a 2 year extension, that means we either let Coker walk after those 2 years or we don't extend T-Mac when we should, as I can't see signing both in the same off season much of an option, it was terrible for the Bengals this year. I like doing a 1 year deal for Coker to set his market value with a full season as the #2, and then sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal after that, which also separates Coker and T-Mac's contract years to help keep both around instead of having to choose at some point, like the Bengals should have done. I also think coming to an agreement on a multi year deal right now could be tough, the team will want to pay the rate of his actual production so far and his agent will want to be paid on his potential from his few breakout games, everyone might just be too far apart for a multi year deal.

      Carolina Panthers pick No. 19-2026 NFL Draft

      By CBird · Posted

      I would love Sonny Styles!.   I don’t think he slips that far.   Get the best OT available at 19.  There is a good chance icky will miss next year and then come back and may switch to guard.

      Then they will have to depend on rookie tackles for awhile. They've got about 1 more good season in Moton and who knows if Ikey will ever return full strength. Better start drafting at 1 on day 2 at least. I personally would prefer a 1st round LT myself but I will take what I can get.
