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

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

    https://www.si.com/college/2022/04/2...mittee-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 ?)
    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.
