    Yeah. Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together could see this 10 miles away.

    College football especially will turn into the most unmanageable shit show surpassed only by the US government.

    Once the ratings continue to plummet even further and stadiums are half full instead of the current 80% full, maybe the people who make money off cfb will wake up and put corrective measures in place.

    I'm also eagerly awaiting the first gender discrimination suit, when some "business" gives a football player $10K for an exclusive interview and gives a female softball player $500 for same thing

Or your twitter following or youtube subscribers? What will increase your following? Playing sports? Or maybe being funny. Maybe it's being controversial. Maybe it's based on your looks.

    The actual playing of the sport has been relegated to about 4 or 5 on the priority list. Maybe lower.
    Yep it has. Just like with the rest of the society. Its not about whether you can do the actual job or skill great or based on performance; its based solely on your ability to influence others -- that's the desired "skill" nowadays. Thats why you have people who have absolutely no real or actual talent making millions on instagram and other platforms for doing nothing but pimping a product or talking about themselves. But yet they think they're great business leaders and highly gifted.

    I'm expecting players to find a way to celebrate TDs by showing a company's instagram handle on their gloves or something. This whole thing will be a mess.

    Now the NIL becomes a big factor in recruiting for the upcoming cycle. Kids are going to go where they can get the best deals. All this is just getting started.

    Now HS players can do it since it doesn’t matter in college anymore. Some guys will have already been making money. HS transfers will begin to spike. Total shitshow ahead

    That is a pipedream that I am jumping on the bandwagon for, I love college football to much to just wish it to yesteryear.

    This won?t change a thing.

    Desirable HS players get paid a ton under the table. The reason schools with big booster networks win is because they have more to throw at players. OM stacked their booster money on #1 players at their position and it worked, but was obvious and pissed off the money schools.

    Now, instead of $800 handshakes and getting a recruits mama a 70k job, that money will be funneled through a car dealership in exchange for a 30 second add.

    But the effect is the exact same: more money, more recruits. You?ll just see it now

    Would any of y'all be interested in putting up a couple hundred (or thousand) and having a few guys come sign autographs somewhere in Starkville (or wherever) and them split the money? I figure we could raise 20k easy and let a few guys split it.

    I can't wait until they start interviewing some of these kids after a big win and they start sounding like a damn NASCAR driver giving thanks and naming all of their sponsors.

    Well, I got to enjoy watching College football for most of my 70 years. I am just glad that football season coincides with hunting seasons.

    It’s already happening. SECN was interviewing a DE from Kentucky today and asked if there was anybody he needed to mention to help his NiL deals.

    College players have been getting paid for years just under the table...remember Scam newton and albert means. This gives us a chance to legally outbid Aubarn, Bama and ole miss. there are only a handful of players that would demand 1mil to sign. not even A$M has the money to pay top dollar for 70 football players. Just think on the baseball side if we guarantee say 4-6 top pitchers a year to bypass the draft to go to college and still get paid the equivalent of a MLB signing bonus to play at the dude its a win win situation for us and the players. HAIL STATE!

    Makes you miss the old agreement that if you were good at sports you could get "paid" by getting a free ride to a university that many others only dream about.

    Yes they have- but now it’s a lot easier for the big boys. They don’t have to try to hide it. We can’t come close to matching any of that. And now it makes it easier for schools in the middle to help their signees. Places like Houston, Memphis, Dallas, Birmingham, etc can generate more advertising dollars than we can.
