NCAA announces all athletes can make money

[t-gator]

That’s actually a result of the NFL’s outdated 3 year rule. No kid should be forced to play a physical, at times violent game, for a year or at all if they feel they’re good enough to get paid. If they value the development they’ll receive for free in their collegiate career, then that just adds to the actual compensation they’re already getting. If they feel they don’t need that and are ready, it’s probably a mistake, but I’d say go ahead. I’d rather have a player completely skip UF than play half hearted and concerned for his future every snap.

Not me. I'd rather have Kyle pitts strolling around on the field in a wheel chair then have gamble out there

You know, being a free market capitalist, I actually think the NIL ruling is a good idea. Even college students should be able to make money. However, to preserve the sanctity of college sports and in particular revenue positive sports, I propose the following. 1. Absolutely no contact by any representative of a college or university (including athletic staff, alumni, boosters, or anyone known to root for that institution) with anyone not already admitted to said institution solely based on academic credentials. 2. Scholarships and fiducial recompense be limited to the difference between the actual cost of education (tuition, fees, books, food and rent) and any moneys acquired by the student athlete derived from notoriety gained from association with the institution. 3. Participation in competition by opposing institutions' team members shall be limited to those players who meet the most stringent academic standards of the institutions in the competition.

I think that the bigger the city, the bigger the market, and the bigger the potential NIL income for the players. Chip Kelly is sitting on a gold mine.

And he will keep sitting.

I suspect you would struggle to find 1% of the LA population who knows the name of a UCLA football player.

How would 1 % of the LA population compare with the entire population of Gainesville? or Starkeville?

The market is Orlando, Tampa and Jax and the rest of Gatornation.

UCLA is a large school... full of people who couldnt care less about ollege football.

Mebbe. Think you overestimate Orlando and Tampa's interest and underestimate what the West Coast media could do for a charismatic football player.

That's because he was a mismatch for defenders. But those defenders that he faced were often in the same position of going to college basically to bide their time until the NFL as well. It's all relative. I forget who it was, but someone kept talking about watching Div-2 football last year to avoid some of the political garbage and really getting into it. When you see guys at that level playing against other guys at that level, it's still entertaining. That's what would happen. We'd be playing guys that are a step slower, not as athletic, etc., but they'd be facing defenders of the same caliber.

If you're a business owner in LA, you are advertising with USC players. Nobody cares about the Bruins and their homo coach playing a game that very few are watching.

My real point was the LA market. The Chip Kelly remark was a throw-away. It really triggered you guys.
I know nothing about how the population views the two schools and care very little. I do wonder how a large public university known for athletics, academics, and hot cheerleaders can be totally ignored.

it's mostly because it's not known for athletics

Tome and Mark Harmon played quarterback there. How much more do you want to be known?

Nobody cares about either of those programs out here. A few feign interest in USC. UCLA football is invisible.

Law hasn't stepped foot in Florida in years. He barely knows where Orlando and Tampa are in relation to G'ville.

Did they move them? I didn't get the memo.

I knew a math guy would nail it............I was about to start working on it.

At this point I'd take kiffin over mullen in a nanosecond. The dude is twice the offensive mind Dullen is, actually throws the freaking ball and doesn't use his qb as the entire running game. On top of that the dude can recruit and is at least hungry to win. Give kiffy Florida talent and a solid defensive coordinator and he's winning a lot of games.

You could probably say the same about dumbass Dan, but he doesn't want any Florida talent, or a solid d coordinator. Only thing mullen wants to do is take a break.

Mullen is mediocre and has hit his ceiling, but Kiffen sucks out loud.
