As long as you’re ready for even more commercials and the death of a muckton of traditions. Much like NIL these moves aren’t being made for the sake of the players or the schools but for the agents and networks (those who make their money around the game not in it).

It’s not that these things don’t need to be fixed (they do) it’s just the parties who are seizing the moment don’t care about fixing anything. They care about lining their pockets.

Agreed. I like to go straight to the bottom line. Does all of this make the product more appealing to fans (my primary interest of course)? Will the sport be more entertaining? Will there be more programs with a real chance to compete (Not just the usual 5 or 6)? I'm not seeing NIL as currently constructed being a good thing. Some controls are needed (perhaps contracts).

He would for sure since he can't transfer to another SEC school in the spring and play this season...unless that rule changed and I missed it. It'll be interesting to see how they handle it because he won't end up going through Spring practice if they don't work it out and that's not good for his development no matter what he ends up doing. The timing tells me he doesn't want to go anywhere and "his team" is risking him being behind on his development and forced to transfer to a non-SEC school.

All it takes is someone to take that ruling to court (about not being eligible right away in the SEC) and that is thrown right out the window.

I wouldn’t put it past another program to tell him they will get him eligible even if they have to go to court for it

Well I didn't know that.

We still haven't had a ton of gold starters leave like that.

This downright sucks. No other way to spin it, unless we can keep him.

They just have to make these guys employees. It's ridiculous.

They might as well if they're going to ruin everything else that has to do with college football.

I wonder when the revenue sharing kicks in if they aren’t just gonna make contracts and make these players employees? People make the argument that coaches have been able to leave whenever they want forever. But it’s not the same. If a coach just decides to leave on his own, he likely violates his contract. These players have way too much freedom.

The patients shouldn’t be running the asylum.

We kinda needed Houston to lose to have a good chance at a one seed. Although the 1st or second 2 seed wouldn’t be bad. Someone was saying anything but the west?
