They would have to do it with every school or alumni from the schools they left out would boycott. I think it is not going to be that big of deal. The same guys are going to sign with the same schools.

Did you read the tweets?. I don't think you understand what's going on here.

Yes I read the tweets. If a group of business in Florida pools money and give to UF and not the other schools those alumni will boycott those business. Like it or not they have to be political. Why you think that dumb ass Bo Bounds sounds so Pro Ole MIss all the time. Example: I will never buy from Cannon motors. NEVER!

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Amateur sports are over.

To be fair, they already were. Now we're just admitting it.

This all day. Players have always been paid BIG MONEY in power 5. The difference will be now anyone/most will be paid not just the superstars.

I've said this on this board throughout the whole debate. We won our Natty the right way, a true deserving title for the program and fanbase...now turn out the lights.

Yep basically make up any reason you want to pay players. This is a disaster. I'm still amazed at the people that are so blind and can't see this. This will further separate the have's and have nots.

Miami supporter giving half mil a year split to all players. What is to stop anyone from making ridiculous contributions and claiming NIL stuff. Piss poor leadership and idiotic followship.

540,000 / 85 scholarships is 6k per player.... and the world is ending!!!

Get a grip people. Grow up and accept the reality that the United States designates rights to people over 18 and receiving compensation is one of them.

Fair point. But in truth, they have always been able to get legal compensation. Nothing prevented Trevor Lawrence from signing a million dollar deal with Nike 2 years ago.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, can give money directly to players at any amount under any circumstances. The NCAA hold on buying players is over. I believe we all can agree, any student that has the ability to make money legally should have that right to do so. As they should. Same as in any student can transfer freely from one university to another, players should have that same ability.

We are all just accustomed to the NCAA treating these players as property. Holding their "passports" and forcing them into labor without pay because they have the only path to the pros. Those days are done. MSU needs to organize a "SuperPac" and do this big. If you don't, well look at Southern Miss. We need to become the place you go to make bank. Big time players, making big time money. Cause if you don't, Bama will. If we don't, UM will. There is not an option here. We need to get out there NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, not after breakfast....NOW.

Meh, who cares. You're about to see a huge exodus in college sport support, most notably football.

This is a contradiction. It?s going to separate the haves and the have nots? Yet, you?re worried about Miami rising up? Seems like you think it?s going to give more teams a chance.

It?s funny that all you free-market capitalists have a problem with people earning money that any other college student would be able to earn.

It's going to create a sports league that more closely resembles professional leagues. Big committed fanbases, committed rich boosters, and committed local businesses are going to be important. So there will be some schools that are better able to comopete under the new regime. Just looking at football: Miami, despite being a small private school, actually has a rich donor base that might be wiling/able to make them competitive again. If T Boone Pickens were still around, he alone could make Ok St. relevant. If Jerry and one of the walmart heirs wanted to, they could make arkansas nationally relevant. A&M and Texas will probably stop being sleeping giants and will be able to buy their way out of their cultural problems. Alabama will be hurt but has enough crazy boosters they can probably keep up. Auburn will probably be about the same. This may help UTenn improve to consistently above average, but I don't think they are in a position to be nationally relevant.

The schools that will be hurt the most are the ones that are currently doing more with less. I'm sure there is somebody it will hurt more than MSU, but I'm not sure who it is. I'm thinking we are extremely lucky to have Leach right now, as I think he can put a decent offense on the field while losing a lot of recruits because of lower NIL payments.

Ain't got nothing to do with Miami. Miami is just the example of how out of control this thing can get.

Free market don't mean anything goes; that is an ignorant perception. There are rules all over society to keep order and prevent chaos and corruption. This ruling creates chaos and corruption. I can't help those that have little wisdom and discernment.

Do you know what discernment is? It is knowing the difference in right and almost right. Almost right is wrong.

This will be the end of college athletics as we know it.

I was just thinking that we got one in before the bell rang.

Just can't see this ending well. The ncaa can't run anything without it turning into disaster and this is opening the floodgates. Remind me again why even need the ncaa at this point?
