My guess is the Cade rumors are only from him visiting with Cooper. Makes no sense though sense UGA would never let him transfer in the same division of the same conference

He is playing a ton and starting some games. He hasnt graduated so he would have to sit out. Fake News. Next year might be a different story

Well that answered the question.

I get you have a vague sense of things will change, but if you can't move from that to formulating meaningful statements on what pragmatic change will occur, then maybe it is unfounded.

Really, Devo? The change will bring change that's a given. How much and for better or worse nobody knows until it actually happens. Obviously you think it is going to be great for a minute amount of athletes and bring in lots of tax revenue. Many have already stated what they think this is going to lead to in the end. They've not been vague, and they have been formulated in meaningful statements. You just disagree. And there's absolutely no way to win an argument like this because it has not happened. Your giving what is planned to happen does not stop the cumulative effect of that happening.

1) Exactly, none of it is illegal. Only against NCAA bylaws...that has nothing to do with laws.

2) Even within NCAA rules, I don't know that paying a recruit is against NCAA bylaws for the payer. Wth is the NCAA going to do against a private individual anyway??? They have no authority in public. Afaik it only makes a SA ineligible. It is against rules to take the payment.

Number one, were talking about opinion. Although my opinion differs from yours that doesn't make it wrong. We're talking about motivation and there is no way to qualify it. Therefore my opinion is a valid as yours and it isn't wrong.

Second, if your premise is correct, that would make for more competition and and make the games more enjoyable because anyone can beat anyone. That's simply not the case. I do believe that there is a lot of parody in pro football but that isn't why many to lose interest. The NFL and nba are made up of hired hit men. They have very little if any loyalty other than their paycheck. They want to be great not because of much other than how it affects their bottom line. They want to perform to grab those incentive bonuses and they really get after it in a contract year.

College has historically been different. Sure the potential to eventually get paid for their talents is part of it for some but for many, the ones who are in all likelihood never going to sign an NFL contract are playing for entirely different motives.

College is a different animal because it isn't a job. I have no doubt that this will change college football negatively. It's not as good as it was 10 years ago, it won't be as good as it is today 10 years from now. JMO

I bet the numbers are similar among most historical blue bloods. I think there’s an unspoken checks and balances system going on. All the “haves” are offering similar perks, and when a have goes way overboard, or when a have not (Ole Miss) tries fishing in the waters with the big boys, they feel the consequences.

That said, I do think Bama has been pushing the envelope under Saban for a long time and they’re essentially invulnerable because of their success and because Bama fans control that state/Saban is buddies with Mark Emmert.
