What’s happening here is straight out of the Hitler lead Germany playbook. Once Hitler was in full control of Germany, he made a play to “reclaim” what he claimed to be lands occupied by true Germans in the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. Once he convinced the western powers to not stand in his...
That’s a beautiful part of the country. Niagara, the Finger Lakes, and so much more.
…but no amount of natural beauty will convince me to put up with that weather. Western NY gets as much snow as anywhere in the country.
It’s a ridiculous amount of money, but this is what schools are willing to pay to see success in their programs. I like seeing players getting compensated for the revenue they bring to schools, coaches and networks, but this format isn’t sustainable at all.
THIS is what takes all the fun out...
You don’t think the amount of money going to kids to attend the big schools isn’t going to skyrocket? The infrastructure isn’t in place to market to kids or those wanting to contribute. There are platforms and organizations popping up ready to cash in on this.
There was a $1MM quarterback at...
More pro-competitive rules have to come. A draft could work for the top X number of athletes, but there are likely a big number of changes we’ll see ahead of that.
I fully expect the SEC to grow and exit the NCAA before the end of the decade. Unfortunately for people who want that to happen so...
It’s terrible for MSU, but rather than changing the rules to regulate pay for play with pro-competitive rules the boomers want to die on the “purity of college football” hill.
Just another George Soros plot. Don’t go to the spring game. They will be pointing the space lasers at the stadium. Good news is that blood of children will be 2 for 1!***
It’s been a joke for a long time. The money has changed everything, but people want to act like giving players some of it will ruin their precious favorite sport.
It’s already ruined. There is no regulation so people with resources dominate and get whatever they want. It’s not competitive...
I’ll take it independently of football. CFB is horrible right now. We have zero chance of winning the SEC, much less a natty under the current NCAA rules. I’ve always been one in favor of more compensation for players, but only along-side rules that even the playing field on recruiting and other...
CFB is going to change dramatically over the next 5 years. Leach runs the kind of system that can sneak up and have success while other teams are distracted. I don’t think what happens on the football field will have as big of an impact on what happens with the AD as what is happening in the...
Has anybody bought or driven a Jeep 4xe hybrid? I skipped out this year and bought the V6 for a number of reasons, but I could see trading for a 4xe in a couple of years if the technology proves reliable. I drive 3 miles a day unless I feel like getting out so most of my daily driving would be...
I would guess the most likely place for this to land isn’t 4 super conferences that play each other in a big tournament. The difference between the haves and have nots is about to be extraordinarily big. The SEC would dominate every year, even more than it already does. The money is just too...
