The world of college sports is about to flipped on it's head...

[ScoobaDawg]

Great article talking about the possible changes coming based on the recommendation from the Transformation Committee.

https://www.si.com/college/2022/04/27/ncaa-new-transformation-committee-changes


Several athletic administrators and college sports insiders discussed the Transfer Committee?s concepts under the condition of anonymity. They include (1) eliminating scholarship caps on sports that offer only partial scholarships; (2) abolishing the limitation on the number of coaches per team; (3) expanding direct payments from schools to athletes; (4) reconfiguring the recruiting calendar; and (5) implementing closed periods in the NCAA transfer portal. At least the first three items will be left in the decision-making hands of individual conferences, if the concepts are approved.

Bama about to have 50 coaches just for football (or is the above just for baseball ?)

What's to say these conferences won't allow student/athletes to compete past four years. Your could have a 10 year college vet, pursuing his 4th bachelor's degree just to continue playing football.

Yes. Going to officially be an amateur league

At least we got a minor league baseball team out of the deal.

Unfortunately. It's sad. I've always loved college sports way more than professional, just for the fact it was a lot of guys playing because they loved the school, the sport, etc.

College football already got to a point where only about 8 teams have a chance to win the NC every year. Luckily basketball and baseball still gave other teams a chance. I have no idea what college sports will look like over the next 10 years, but it just doesn?t seem like these changes are going to be positive for teams outside traditional blue bloods in a sport or schools with a lot more money than Miss State. The SEC money really helps but it might get to a point we are the 11th best team in the SEC but also the 15th best team in the country because all the top programs will be housed in the SEC outside a few like Ohio State, Notre Dame and Clemson

This will be the beginning of the end for the PAC12 and B1G - unless they go against their holier than thou "we put academics above all" BS they spout.

Yep. Really sucks. All good things come to an end...usually at the hands of lawyers.

The only way things will change is to stop watching it. Money controls everything. If fan interest dwindles, then that'll start the dominos to fall. This past year was the least I've watched MState sports since I've started following and my interest going into this football season is probably lower than last year.

Correct. Not to mention donations to the school athletic organizations.

This is me 100%. I may not watch at all this fall.

Pro sports passed college for me around 4 years ago

Why make them go to class at all? What's the point? College athletics clearly have nothing to do with academics anymore.

I think something said in the article mentioned something to the effect the scholarship money or nil has to be tied to education.

They should limit the scholarships to 22 for football. That would clean this up pretty quickly.

[MadDawg]

Pro sports are nearly unwatchable. I watch a little NFL to see Dak play and that's about it.

they are talking about no cap for football scholarships due to all of the transfers. that would be horrible.

It's like they're upping the ante to push this thing over the edge.

That's just it. College athletics has always been about academics and giving athletes an opportunity to be educated. Lemonis said Tuesday they left after lunch because..... players had classes.

However the problem isn't the ncaa. It is the rule breakers. The people that want to cheat and lie to get a questionable athlete on campus regardless if he/she earned the opportunity in the classroom. Lie and cheat to win a ball game. Then the ncaa enforces rules. People get upset and say it isnt fair. So we dropped standards and prop 48 and on and on. An inch became another Inch, then a mile, then 100 miles. Now folks want to blame the ncaa when rules are broken and enforced. Par for our society now a days. No rules. Just do whatever. Well, the ncaa is now saying do whatever. People are getting exactly what they asked for. No rules. Free for all. Well, go for it and enjoy.

I've heard this story for years and tried to apply it in all that I do. It especially applies to the world we live in today.

"Commerce", that is a good read and a good summation of what is wrong today!! Rep given!

I read an article this week that said we could see spin offs of the athletic departments. Such as Michigan and Michgian Athletics, LLC. Crazy times.

They might as well start calling it what it is now. College is now the Minor leagues for all sports.

[Maroonthirteen]

What could save college football is for college to enforce academic standards and for the usfl to sign high school kids. All it takes is one freak of nature that the usfl wants to take a chance on... then snow ball from there.

The usfl becomes the NFL quasi minor league rather than college.

Remember when old dudes were saying everything is going to hell and they just sounded like old grumpy dudes....

The root cause of academic issues lies with our piss poor public schools and shitty parenting.

This could lead to new divisions based on a school's wealth for crying out loud. The best thing about Professional sports are Salary Caps and other parity creating rules that give the less rich a chance to win championships and the wealthy to falter if Dumbasses are running their uber rich show (See Jeruh). These rules were placed to bring back lost fans and it worked.
We are in the infancy part of all this new shit just like professional sports were and I'm shocked college "leadership" doesn't believe the same thing will happen to college sports as it did to professional. Right now it's like a Coup where the wealthy have taken control but hopefully cooler heads eventually prevail to save college sports once the negative impacts of this bullshit is realized. Socialism is good for sports. Did I just say that?
