Just added a JUCO OT to our 2022 class. Big dude and very athletic. He counts towards the 2022 counters so I love the take since we lose that counter anyways.

Dude is a large human

Counters don't matter none. It's the 85 limit we got to worry about.
Or do we? Still don't know what stops an NIL deal that pays for a scholarship.

A timely piece for this discussion, posted in the NIL thread. Seems a bit late for what has been happening…

And now this…the NCAA actually withheld guidelines last year because they were afraid of lawsuits. Now they are looking at enforcing various rules, which will certainly cause numerous lawsuits.

Raise min SAT requirements and you’ll thin the herd of the Wizards exponentially

It would be a start, and absolutely the right thing to do. But we're so far gone at this point that I'm really pessimistic about restoring any semblance of academic integrity or general order in the upper reaches of CFB. The rogue programs have inherited the Earth and they won't give it back without one hell of a fight. JMHO.

I actually thought that when the NFL was teetering that we’d see reduced salary cap and wages. Still might occur. If that happens, College Football would likely be saved because all the Wizards would be playing baseball and basketball as a way to make money.

but yeah, it’ll take a major shift to get any decency back. I just can’t wait for the dark side to come out.

Start by doing away with the two year rule. If they are that good, let the NFL have them

Whoa dude! That makes way too much sense - get a grip!

Well 3 year rule, but point taken

Oh yeah...because most college's offer an education that is actually worth something these days anyways unless you are going into a true profession. Come to think about it, football is a true profession and I think everyone would agree that the SEC to the football profession would be the Ivy League to the academic professions.

It’s been proposed before (maybe here, maybe in a sports column, idk) that universities should offer a variety of sports related majors like coaching, sports management, etc to give the athletes something they are likely to understand and maintain an interest that will carry them through to graduation. It won’t solve all the problems, but I think we’d see more success stories for athletes who don’t reach the pros.

They will all reach the Pros ... until they don't.
