Want open market

Self interest rules the day. Not what's best for the sport. The ACC allows Miami to keep their entire playoff payday. So obviously Miami wants to reinvest those funds into buying players. And the big budget schools like Ohio State want to spend more than the Miss. State's. It's complete chaos. Absolutely crazy.
If Colleges start paying more than the NFL then they will start a minor league that guarantees that the clock to the big bucks starts at 18. That will get all the best talent and will make the NCAA all Div II level talent.
all this going on with all these things that need correcting and the dumbass college playoff board, led by Mark Keenum, can't even agree on the number of playoff teams for next season. Big Ten, absurdly, wants 24.
I said years ago there should be a 16 team playoff just like the smaller schools have had forever!Quote:

28 is the right number.Quote:

Meanwhile Indiana is dominating college football on peanuts. Good for them.
Indiana spends more on football than the bottom 1/3 of the SEC and had a 20MM NIL for 2025...people have to stop looking at the name on the jersey because those are gone. It's a new era of college footballQuote:

Bottom 1/3 is bottom 5ish of the sec. Who is the equivalent? Us, Kentucky, SC, vandy, ark?Quote:

We win at least 8 of those 9. 7 at worst and could def go 9 for 9
I'm not looking at the name on the jersey. I'm listening to their coach who last night lamented the amount spent on his 2025 roster and said it was nowhere near what has been reported.Quote:

Not for the 2025 roster he did not. He did an interview last night and said he's been involved but plans to be more involved moving forward. So yea, I'm sure Indiana will have whatever money they want for 2026 and beyond.Quote:
