The NCAA blew it.  I wouldn't be surprised if the SEC and Big Ten drop the NCAA and form a super league:

In an unreported and little-known fact, SEC presidents in March quietly authorized their commissioner, Sankey, to split from the NCAA if he deems that the right move.

That would at least allow the ACC and others to get back to being universities first.

the top of college football is losing sight of what actually made college football king IMO.   If they want to break off and be the NFL's highly paid (for now) development league.....it will eventually be treated as such by the masses.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see where this ultimately goes. They're trying hard to kill the golden goose. With the playoffs expanding to 12 teams and purely going with the highest seeded teams you know the SEC is going to throw a bitch for every time they don't make up at least half the teams on the field. Some of those crazy ass homers honestly think it should just be all SEC every year. No one else belongs. It's mainly the fans of lower tier SEC schools who think this way. It's just their attempt to rise the coattails of the better teams and act like they belong instead of realizing that they're just schedule cannon fodder.

This is getting beyond stupid.

Why? If someone is willing to pay it, someone should take it. 

I'd be interested in seeing what the sliding scale looks like for recruits at different star levels.  If $20K a month is the rate for a top 25-50 recruit, that doesn't seem unreasonable to me - especially at the QB, RB and WR positions. 

I'd also like to think these schools are smart enough that they are putting some sort of recuperation clause in a contract that says we'll pay you to stay a recruit, but if you flip or decommit, the money has to be paid back.  Otherwise, I'd be telling my son to commit to anyone with a check book his sophomore year, let's get paid while we look / wait for better options.

I completely get it from the player's perspective. But just because it's good for the players doesn't mean it's not absurdly ridiculous.

Sounds like UNC is heading to the SEC. This has been whispered about for years but never this loudly and widespread. I mean, you have Paul Finnebaum the guy known as the "Voice of the SEC" saying it's gonna happen now.

money is ruining college sports.   and it won't stop until college sports isn't worth watching.  I don't care about UNC football but UNC basketball, Duke and all that......it's sad to see that die.

Honestly, my interest in college sports has waned tremendously in recent years. Hard to keep up with it when you don't recognize the names of 80% of the roster because of the constant transfers. I mean, we have a kid suiting up for the basketball team this year who is like 24 and has been playing pro ball in Europe for several years. And we're not the only ones with that type of player. WTF is that???

They're really gonna have to figure out something going forward or they're going to kill the golden goose.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
