Wait till you meet @InVOLuntary , @BaldBiker , @Orangeredblooded , or myself. @Orangeredblooded is the youngest and she is at least in her 1800s. I am now in trouble for being even remotely close to telling her age.That hurts a little
I was talking with a friend of mine about an older couple who lived two houses down from us when I was a kid. This would have been around 1968-69 so I was 10-11 years old. Anyway dad would have my brother and I go help them with odd jobs as he had been severely wounded in WW1
It dawned on me that I’ve had conversations with someone born in the 1800s![]()

@InVOLuntary and @BaldBiker are almost twice that old…it’s why they call her kiddo.
And I am the oldest by a little bit.![]()

Decent data if maybe not a touch obvious. As a math guy i never hate on people trying to find rhyme or reason, but I know some don't like him.
Who would be the "owners" in this situation though? Who would force a lockout?Yeah, you can’t tie team rules to their NIL deals, because the NIL is supposed to be separate from the team. We all know it isn’t, but legally it is supposed to be. The players have all of the leverage.
Has to be some sort of CBA in the future
Wasn't you one of the individuals on board with players getting compensated financially? Now that they are and no rules are keeping this chaos organized you're pissed off because players aren't being loyal. What the hell did you expect with 17-22 year old individuals? Fans can't have their cake and eat it too.That tracks..
Schools would be the owners and it wouldn’t be much different than the pros. Pro owners make big money off the athletes too. It would just all have to be bargained. It is definitely more messy than pro sports because of all of the title IX and all of the non-revenue producing sports.Who would be the "owners" in this situation though? Who would force a lockout?
I find it hard to believe schools would enforce a lockout like pro teams/leagues would because they make so much $$ off college athletics.
I think the disconnect isnt that the players are getting paid, it’s the insane way the NCAA and schools have gone about it that created absolute chaos. It didn’t have to be the Wild West.Wasn't you one of the individuals on board with players getting compensated financially?

What we could end up with is schools could start forfeiting games due to losing too many players to other teams or their own players sitting out cause they are not happy with their NIL deals. This in turn would cause the other teams to have fewer games and TV would lose a lot of TV revenue. Maybe that would finally cause some change.Who would be the "owners" in this situation though?
