I'm hooked...
The motorcycle keeps it from having the ghey
I'm hooked...
The whole thing just makes me numb…
None of this is why we're not winning. We're not winning because you're not giving $25 dollars a month.
Did you not see the letter from a Gator donor to our Pres/AD?
Yeah, might’ve resonated a little more had he been one of the 5% and could make me understand better the UAA’s distribution of revenues. Might be apples to oranges but truthfully the Pandora’s Box that most thought this whole NIL scheme would become is playing out in confirmation. I just don’t see how this is sustainable.Did you not see the letter from a Gator donor to our Pres/AD?
He "revealed" the dark under belly of NIL and chided all Gator fans to appreciate the "top 5% of mega donors" to our Collective and then recommended we ALL send a set amount per month to the Collective.
IIRC, it was $25/mo.
Should be charging you much more than... I mean he charges us $5 each not to read your stuff.I think it would be pretty easy to do something like Clemson's IPTAY club and get a little sticker for the back glass. IPTAY as most of you know stands for "I Pay Thirty A Year". Small change to the rabid fan. Imagine 100,000 fans paying just $30 a year. I mean, Ox charges me $100 a year just to post here when he should be paying me for my thoughtful posts and insight I share here for free. $3 mil probably doesn't go far in the NIL world so some of you should donate more.

Originally it was “ten.”I think it would be pretty easy to do something like Clemson's IPTAY club and get a little sticker for the back glass. IPTAY as most of you know stands for "I Pay Thirty A Year". Small change to the rabid fan.
One of the many steps that destroyed college football. Cant wait for the days of seeing teams rest theor starters for the last two games in November and skip the conference championship game too.I used to dream of the day college football had a real playoff. Now it's here and I don't care.
With two super leagues why do we need a playoff ? The two conference champions go to the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious bowl and be done with it. Oh,........Money.One of the many steps that destroyed college football.

Fan interest is going to tank in a way that will be financially unrecoverable within the next several years. That’s what happens when your best players transfer to your biggest rivals for purely financial motives… and I don’t blame Etienne or anyone else for acting in their own best interests. But could the NFL survive in an environment where its players are able to move freely on an annual basis to the highest bidder? How long would it take before fans are completely turned off and totally lose interest? I think we’re about to find out with CFB as the guinea pig. It’s over.The NIL/Transfer Portal genie is out of the bottle and it is never going back in. The NCAA for fear of legal action is backing as far away from regulation as possible. The NCAA is a joke.
Any hope for bringing some sort of common sense to this process will be up to the conferences.
For NIL I don't see a cap on the spending however maybe the MLB model makes the most sense, where there is a maximum spending limit set by the conferences and any team going over the number get taxed. The total amount of tax is either kept by the conferences or distributed to the rest of the teams. There needs to be guard rails on transfers and the frequency of activity. Plus rules on tampering ,and monetary penalties on teams who do.
That could require approved contracts with all players in all sports, receiving NIL money . Does one Super Conference make more sense with NIL?
All of this and more would most likely generate a collective bargaining agreement, and the athletes becoming employees of the schools. Other than a lot of dollars flowing to some high level law firms and agents, who knows where that would end.
But it seems obvious that if the process continues unregulated with unlimited money thrown at 18 year olds, it will be a disaster.
I also know if our clown show of a government gets involved we are looking at a "Cluster F" of biblical proportions.
As I say this take a look at the link below that appeared yesterday.
This issue needs strong leadership at the conference and or Power 5 schools level. Not from the NCAA or worse yet Congress.
Draft NIL bill aims to "save college sports as we know it"
The question of whether college athletes should be employees looms over the conversation about setting a national standard on name, image and likeness rights. “People should be careful what they wish for,” a softball player testified Thursday.www.insidehighered.com
That bill would be a nightmare. In fact Congress getting involved is the worst possible outcome.The NIL/Transfer Portal genie is out of the bottle and it is never going back in. The NCAA for fear of legal action is backing as far away from regulation as possible. The NCAA is a joke.
