I doubt it. Someone will always break rank and offer elite prospects a deal without that stipulation to gain a recruiting advantage.

The big schools are already showing they want control back and acknowledging that’s it 100% gotten out of hand.  That’s what they are doing the collective in 2025 and changing NIL requirements to fix what it morphed into.   They will keep at it.  College football accidentally found themselves in a situation where athletes have way too much power…..and sports has always course corrected that.   The big boys are going to team up to restore power back to them in the end.  They will team up because they know any of them can get screwed with the leverage players have.  

Cam Ward isn’t a student athlete.  He is a professional QB.   And everyone knows if the athletes can do whatever they want….any one of them can get screwed or held hostage.  Maybe next time it’s a CFP game.  Maybe they want a new check just to suit up.  Maybe they want new checks for title games to be played.   I think we are going to see a lot of new action from schools in the coming years.

I just don't think the big boys really give a poo about non-playoff bowls.

I think they want the power to decide what does and doesn’t happen though….like at every other level.  

they need to cancel those random bowls though.

I liked the situation like what SC was doing before the ncaa stepped in. 

 

They essentially had agents team up with state based businesses for exclusive endorsements so both parties got something out of it. 

I thought that was a great way to do it. Collectives are ridiculous and I won't contribute to mercenaries not when tickets and donations are already skyrocketing 

 

makes no sense.

I mean, that basically what they have set out to end though. That's never what NIL was pimped to be.  It's just a one way check to play via an outside booster of the school in reality.   I think the collective is fine given where we find ourselves.  They just need to probably have different tiers of football.  Tier 1 with the 20 mil collectives.  Then another tier w/ schools with a much smaller collective. 

and think it eventually needs to sort itself out that if Clemson wants to pay The Citadel to come play a game.....I don't think they count those wins anymore.   Only wins from your collective tier should count.  

I don't know, I change my mind every day.  I think they ruined college football largely.  It was always flawed but now it's just dumb.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
