The NBA has caps on player salaries so the richest team doesn't always buy the best players. NFL has a draft so the richest teams can't just buy the best players. College football is going to go down the tubes if this doesn't get fixed.
Even with that, players have gravitated toward large markets like LA for endorsement and off court opportunities. CFB is in bad shape moving forward. Likely the best way to fix it is to raise academic standards so that they are true student athletes.

That's an interesting analogy. In (men's) pro football and basketball (but not baseball), the solution to that problem evolved to be regulation and limitations on players salaries through negotiated agreements between the owners and a PLAYERS' UNION. It's very conceivable that money-making college sports will get to that same point, for the same competitive reasons.

They certainly will need to provide some regulatory oversite on NIL contracts. I doubt they can successfully pursue and form a legitimate players union. Who are the "players" every kid who plays midget football, 7 on 7, HS? Maybe one of the labor lawyers in the room has some answer.

Not sure where to put this, it is recruiting centric conversation so put it here. Rival talking about the problem with Napier at Florida.

MLB has the richest teams buying the best players. It's always been that way.

In college football the richest teams have always done the best.

You can't create parity unless you bring everyone down to the level of the G5 teams which ain't happening.

The team salary cap is good for competition and helps small market teams. The cap for an individual player does the opposite.

Tell your mom I want my sneakers back. I left them under her bed.
You're trying too hard big guy. If you jump into a convo you weren't involved in and drop a mama joke, it needs to be the first mama joke made and it also needs some type of tie-in to the conversation. That's why it's funny. You're late to the party with a completely random attempt.

It's a new era of gator football my dude. Do better.

I’m supporting Durty on this one, mainly because you came with sneakers. Really? I mean, you would’ve been safe with simply saying shoes. But sneakers? Who says sneakers?

Well all love Homer. He’s a staple. It was definitely out of his comfort zone, but he gave it a shot which you kind of have to respect. The problem is, while he saw a “boom!” when he posted it, we all saw this.

I was telling mom jokes back when you were jumping off the school bus. I just wanted to see how stupid they sound when you throw them out there.
