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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
