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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
