Even with the excessive nudity, I’m sure it will still end with someone locating plans detailing a lone, fairly obvious section of vulnerability in the Death Star, which will be hit in a last second shot of desperation, destroying it along with all hope of the Empire for at least six months until they’ve built a new one.

I just saw this on footballscoop.com
This is huge, and it's exactly why this is not going to go well. This guy is spending $540k to give 90 Miami football players $6000/year (at $500/month) - the entire team (minus walk-ons, and I'm guessing the extra 5 is players who are holdovers due to the covid rules allowing them to play an extra year).
There's a story about all 17 OL's on Notre Dame's roster getting deal w/ a "semi-national restaurant chain" and Arkansas' OL getting a deal w/ a BBQ restaurant.
I can't wait to see what the Bamer's do. They're probably waiting for most of the schools around the country to announce these Miami/ND/Arkansas type deals....then they'll announce theirs with a "hold my beer" moment.

Yep, its going to be a ****show allowing these companies to just wash money through these players. There is no way in hell this guy gets ROI on this. If the NCAA were smart, they would have kept businesses out of it. If a player wants to hustle, sell their merch and do autographs that's fine but you cant allow businesses to just stroke checks to backup kickers for no reason.

Imagine Nike - paying the entire Oregon football team $6k/year. Walmart paying Arkansas players $6k/year. Berkshire Hathaway paying Nebraska players $6k/year. Under Armor paying Maryland players $6k/year. Ringling Brothers paying FSU players 6,000 balloons/year. etc, etc.....

But, in fairness to your post and the possible slippery slope, if you did falsely inflate the kicker's worth, you'd have once great football program's fans embarassingly chanting the kicker's name and that kicker acting like some star D-bag on social media.

I'm a big free market guy myself. I couldn't tell you how many times I've thought to myself, "imagine if we could group the best of these players together and form some type of professional league where they could get paid in direct financial compensation, like employees, for their talents". Of course, I also like watching college football and wouldn't want this proposed league to interfere with that. So I'd really like it if it could fall on a different day of the weekend, with maybe a game or two sprinkled throughout the midweek. Meanwhile, those that value an education could play for a university in exchange for tuition. That would really solve all these problems.
I know, I know. I've always been a bit of a dreamer. One day though.

As long as we are talking about alternate realities that don't exist or never had existed, I too have dreamed of being lucky enough to get in a threesome with Kate Beckinsale and Rachel Adams, and being able to last a couple hours. But thats never going to happen.
Back to reality, which is what is happening, college players are getting paid now. Its not the end of the world, its just more honest to what is actually going on. Many of them at P5 schools aint there to get an education except the stuff that will get them to the nfl. A free market is going to benefit UF a lot more than regulating it with perverted sense of ethics and morals. Sorry that doesn't align with that reality that only exists in your dreams.
Whether or not college players get paid or not doesn't change the fact that college football is the NFL farm league and pretty much the only way into the nfl. Kids still can't go from high school to the nfl for many reasons that have nothing to do with $. My point was to BMF that the things he was telling us to imagine as bad things, well, I just dont see them as bad. $ is a big motivator, though I am sure our program will miss that boat, but I think it will help us a lot more than people think it will.

I took the liberty of looking up Rachel Adams. Several regular people, so I assume this is who you were referring to. I get that everyone has their own taste. But you should probably let Kate know upfront what she's getting into.

Id roll with that too...
EDIT: btw, I see you had to scroll pretty far down to get to that Rachel. There were plenty of cute ones above her.

But again, while I'm sure KB would have no objections to your unsolicited advances, you really should clear anything south of a "5"(not to mention possible trans) with her before just showing up. I don't know. It's what I'd do.
