will there be a salary cap?

[redwine65]

I believe in 5-8 years there will be a major college division and the minor college division. Those with the haves like Texas, Notre Dame, LSU, USC, etc. will have all the top tier college players because they can afford it. Teams like Nebraska, Kansas St, Iowa St., Colorado, NC State, etc. will be the minor leagues. These leagues probably wont be titled as major and minor but everyone will know it. College athletics will be toast for most of us.

thats what we have been hearing with the espn/disney/sec/mini nfl talk...

but it's interesting, can texas and ohio state keep a qb depth chart? with nil?
sure they have money, but that much money?
and a school like stanford makes ut and osu look like they work for a living/blue collar..
and harvard makes stanford look broke...

then you have population centers, that may have a say....does houston all become longhorn fans?
does ny all become ohio state fans?

Harvard and Stanford realize the financial gains are magnitudes greater if they invest in their academic/business/law/med/engineering programs than some random high school football players

true, I'm just thinking there's alot of moving parts with nil and transfers now.
and lets say you give a arm and leg for players and flop? it will be interesting...

if you go to 19:13 & 30:22 of that first video I posted, it has a graph of where the money is at, and it's not the sec...or big 12

I'm not a communist (coveting neighbor's goods), nor do I like ary rand much (mammon worship)
there seems like there's going to need to be standards, for the common good...like a salary cap.
so players getting paid for work doesn't turn into stale championship buying.

Any billionaires want to go pheasant hunting?

why 6 guys need to shoot 52 pheasants and call it a good time is beyond me.

The sour grapes over this is mind boggling. Just like every other facet of life. The haves have, the nots don’t.

Mind bogging? Nebraska is most definitely a have-not in this scenario. Nebraska is probably the most have-not of all Power 5 programs. Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere and has as much sex appeal as hemorrhoid cream. The one billionaire associated with Nebraska is a notorious tightwad who has never donated a thing to the school, especially the friggin' football program. When he dies his estate is going to help Bill Gates deliver vaccines, not Huskers deliver touchdowns.

Maybe someday Woodhouse Ford, HyVee, Ameritas Insurance, or First National Band of Omaha will pay each offensive lineman $50,000 a year to play, but I sincerely doubt it. Our only hope is that rising sea levels destroy Florida, California, and Texas, sending all of those recruits to the exciting beachfront property in Nebraska.

I like the charity work - but this is all just stupid unless it all goes to charity. These are "kids" on a full-ride scholarship.

That, or the next time a poster here lays into a college football player for Nebraska (or whomever), I definitely don't want to hear "he's just a kid." Let's just stop calling them "kids."

Or perhaps just allow them to go pro after high school. Stop trying to mix, whatever this is, with academics and higher learning. I realize it's already been happening for a while now, but I can't imagine what little pricks this is breeding in some high school players now.

I'm 43 years old. Get off my lawn.

They used to call it laundry money.

The NBA has a salary cap since 1984/85. The facilities and coach races in college football have had “amateur athletics” for sale for a long time, only difference is players can get paid now.

Yeah, sure the NBA has a "salary cap". Of course you can violate it and just pay a luxury tax or something like that. It's certainly not like the NFL's cap, where teams have to let go of legitimate talent to get underneath it. And the players getting paid is the part I didn't want for sale. It was professionals coaching amateurs, now it'll be pros coaching pros.

Now this is good! Especially for a message board - this could have come from a newspaper. Good work.

Should schools be investing in paying coaches or players?

might be time to re-examine the business model

 

[redwine65]

In 8 years 13 teams have made the playoffs, Bama, Clemson, OU and Ohio State have combined for 21 of the 32 berths handed out. Only 5 teams have played for a national title in 7 years. 2 teams account for 5 of the 7 national titles.

so, all the teams that have been paying players...under the table

Definitely the SEC teams included on that list.

It will take a while for this new age of NIL to settle in. Nebraska may be at a disadvantage (initially) to programs like Ohio State and Texas, but the Huskers will have an advantage to every Big Ten West program wrt donors. Nebraska is a blue blood which means it has deeper financial roots than most. Look at the attendance figures. Only Wisconsin is close in the Big Ten West.

I think Nebraska football being the only show in the state helps too. sure some state have more money and people...but they also have alot more sports that dilute the focus.

really since nebraska football make 60 million profit a year....just divide 60 million into 23 players (22 starters plus kicker) so that's like 2.8 million a player, just on what the players, earn....so just give them 2 million each and start updating the old seating each year.

Probably a free runza per day but the biggie size will be on the players.

If we could get cheap *** Warren Buffet to get some of that moldy money out and help out Nebraska with some payments to the kids, heck they could wear Dairy Queen shirts around!

Texas stepping up.

This is all possible thanks to good wealth management. Most of the companies lack to succeed because of poor money management. So that's why I always recommend using the payroll service. For instance, I worked for quite a while with the guys from payrollindex.com. And I know how this industry works and how important it is for a business, especially for new people. So I will really recommend you look at the companies offering these types of services. Hope you guys are having a wonderful day.
