It potentially hurts because another part of that legislation is for the Bama, OSU, UGA of the world to break away and basically form a super league(at least how I read it). And these schools would be the ones who could do that. If that happened our athletic dept budget would crater overnight. Our athletic dept budget is what it is SOLELY because we are in the SEC and we get the SEC TV money. If a breakaway happens we are done.
Or, this is the beginning of a cap. Who knows.Quote:

Regardless, change is coming. My message to Charlie would be empty the clip. Especially if we get a top end QB.
They will never stand for that, that's why they will leave. This is the catalyst for the have to leave.Quote:

When you are grown up, graduate and in the working world, then you earn your money.
It is supposed to be the institute of higher learning not the institute of higher earning.
Oh I know it ain't going back but just sad to see this happen to what was once a somewhat pure activity that made it so great. Gone and never to return.
Title IX will keep that from happening most likely
With NIL at least it is above the table for the most part. As for the last aprox 30yrs it?s been under the table buying players. Example ?A? Cam Newton.
The first thing that needs to happen is to reinstate the rule that transfers have to sit a year. That would do wonders.
Regulation of this money would be good. Intraconference sharing of the money used to pay players would be amazing.
I'm no expert on Title IX, are you saying that it will be the factor that ends this when all "student athletes", have to receive the same benefits?Quote:

-Help gender equality with equal NIL investments for men’s/women’s teams.
-No timetable has been set, schools will have to accept changes.
Fair and Equal- Cant pay the guys and then all the girls get nothing. Lawsuits are already starting with NIL and they will likely hold them off- but when the school runs it- Title IX becomes a factorQuote:

The figures include the following:
• 59 DI schools spend more than $100 million on athletics; another 32 DI schools spend over $50 million; and a whopping 259 spend less than $50 million, with half of those spending less than $25 million.
• On average, 1.8 percent of Power Five athletic budgets is subsidized by student fees while about 15 percent of budgets in the rest of the DI schools are funded by student fees.
Where are we..? Pretty sure we are above 50 mil
Jesus, lol.Quote:

They want a super conference. They don't give a damn about the players, other programs or fans.
Well played sir.Quote:

Meanwhile…the new minor league will do great……..until people realize it’s not nearly as good as the NFL and it also lacks the pride and pageantry that college football used to have (due to the mercenary attitude of the players). It will fall in a grey area between amateur athletics and NFL and it will slowly lose popularity like every other minor league and NFL spinoff.
Can went for 180k and they were sneaky about it. Today, Cam would go for $2M and every booster in the country would know he's for sale.Quote:

I think a few years ago I read we spend 92M and make just over 100. But I might be misrememberingQuote:

I agree that within the next 10 years if not sooner a super conference will form for football. It will be about 24 or 32 teams that have the most money. I just hope basketball isn?t impacted too much as we could still be part of that and do well. Unfortunately, college football will be over for about 80 percent of teams as we know it. We will be in that 80 percent and playing in a different league with the likes of the big 12 teams and left over ACC teams. Because nothing happens immediately, I am going to enjoy these next 5-10 years of State in this big conference and hope Lebby can have a good run for a year to get us into the playoffs.
It will be more than 24 or 32 teams and we will be included if we want to be.Quote:
