NIL still has a cap right? I think eventually most big ACC schools start maxing out the fully amount.  Probably a little too early to stay.  Just like this past year, I think the moving is far from over.  And the SEC frankly needs to swap out some teams. 

Top 2 SEC teams did go down though.  Go Tigers 

If there’s a cap, let me know the ceiling. Michigan offered Bryce Underwood over 10 million to go to Michigan ( stealing him from LSU ) 

ACC schools won’t be able to compete with these schools.

Just saw this…damn that is crazy

That will give more ammo for people to loathe UNC.  That said, I doubt it happens.  I can't see Bill coddling a bunch of mama's boys.  Not UNC per se, but college aged guys in general.  He stepped on toes in New England and made full grown men feel some sort of way...and these were pros.  Belechick just isn't the mentoring type of guy a program needs to foster teenagers into men.

Yeah it’s an extremely odd development IMO.  Bill must really want to coach again.  I would think UNC would want a younger coach this time and Bill has never recruited before.  Obviously would be fascinating to see what he could do though.

I think next season is when power 5 schools are going to be operating under a 20.5 million cap

Tons of articles,  that’s just the first I hit, probably a lot better ones.  You can just google 20.5 million cap for NIL.  Dabo was talking about it the other day and how schools wont be able to out spend them.  That’s a total sports NIL cap.  So you might start to see some real division on who might choose to focus on basketball vs football.

Let's hope something is done,, but I can't see those  WITH the money making it so those with out money , will be on a level playing field. 

And what "student"  will  sue the 5 power conferences for limiting their use of NIL , 

Something has to give.  

Good article here from  Duke , The Chronicle

Yeah, I'm all for the kids getting paid for their services that bring in a lot of money for everyone else but they're going to have to figure out some sensible guidelines or they're gonna kill the golden goose eventually.

The Golden Goose is us.  Baseball is in the process of doing this to fans by making everything a PAY to watch.  People viewing has drop in large numbers from the days o WTBS the Braves,  WOR the Mets,  WGN  Cubs,   and they wonder why the younger generation doesn't watch.  If college football become Pay to Watch,  the golden goose will disappear. IF cable, satellite, streaming services keep raising the rates to watch ( so they can pay ESPN , SEC Big10 networks etc,,  it'll too lose viewers.   We already have ala carte selections of what we watch.. hence we don't watch 7 home shopping networks.

Let the speculation begin!

 

Shedeur Sanders posted a video on IG driving by the Raiders stadium with the caption "Legendary".

 

I thought Prime was staying at Colorado,but a chance to coach his son in that market big city bright lights. Seems like something Prime couldn't turn down. Also that beast of a TE they have Bowers.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen you got your wish no more Prime in college football. You pushed him out now get ready to let the circus come to the NFL.

 

 

Raiders will replace the Ravens as my bandwagon team if this happens. Sorry I'm just being real about my fandom.

If he does come to the NFL I'd expect nothing less than the Raiders. I suspect the new team HQ would be moved to Circus Circus.

      Make Yosh Nijman a good offer or not?

      Icky was always a weak pass blocker come out of college. Cross was the premier pass blocker in that class. Much easier to learn run blocking than pass blocking. I never expected Icky to ever become an elite pass blocker. If he was average, that's all I really expected. I did expect him to be an absolute mailer in the run game.

      We aren’t in danger of being in the basement anymore and if we keep drafting well we could get to the playoffs after a while. I don’t mind if we get a new QB and coach eventually but we are “stable” and I’m grateful for it.

      I prefer 9-8. Reason being, winning season shows overall improvement and is the 1st step to establishing a winning culture. Backing into the playoffs with a losing record doesn't show you earned anything. It's the product of a weak division. If playoffs were based off records, most likely you're not going because another team(s) have a better record.  Chances are too, the next season, you're going to have a tougher schedule and a couple of those bounces that went your way are going to go the other direction and it's another losing season and no playoffs.  There have been 5 teams to get into the playoffs with a losing record. The 2014 and 2025 Panthers are 2 of those teams. Losing record trip 3 isn't exactly something I would be proud of doing. We have 9 playoff appearances so far, 2 of them simply because we won a shitty division. Another one would mean 30% of our appearances are only because we were the least stinky turd. That's a stat I'd want to flush.
