I'm not exactly sure how it will work though

but it's not even just the kids , it's the coaches as well , when the Iowa Hawkeyes were looking for a new basketball coach this year , how much Iowa was committed in spending NIL money for their basketball program was a big part of that

other schools looking for head coaches will have to answer that question from here on out now as well

but college sports isn't done changing yet

with that NCAA vs Florida State / Clemson law suit settled , ACC schools will be free to leave by 2030, even sooner at a higher cost , starting now , they can leave the ACC at a higher cost , but each year the price goes down till 2030

so the ACC , by 2030 , Florida State , Clemson , North Carolina , Virginia and Miami will probably all have left the ACC for the SEC and Big Ten , then a few other schools will probablt bolt for the Big 12

and then the ACC will find them in the same situation as the current Pac !2 , having to backfill with smaller colleges

5 years from now ' we'll basically just has 3 Power conferences

and I believe Notre Dame , will then be force to join the Big Ten , once those top schools leave the ACC , Notre Dame scheduling agreement with the ACC will no longer exist , making it about impossible for Notre Dame to schedule enough top schools to play

college football is still evolving]]> IowaRam Bucky's PubSun, 13 Apr 2025 12:17:26 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163102#msg-1163102 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163102#msg-1163102

But it is coming down to schools paying, or guaranteeing income to players to play. Originally, I don't think the schools were supposed to be involved. They just weren't supposed to have exclusive use of the players "property".

I don't know what the answer is, but it's all messed up right now. For one thing, I don't think letting players jump schools almost anytime they want is sustainable.]]> Aries Bucky's PubSun, 13 Apr 2025 07:42:53 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163073#msg-1163073 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163073#msg-1163073
Ok, a tangent.... there comes a time when all you've said, me too, comes into play. i'm not involved in any of that. I AM involved in all the levels previous to that.... and it's 'glorious'. Allow me to bring up, once again, my Grandson's HS Freshman Valley Championship.... I honestly don't think a SB Ring today comes close to what that Valley Championship meant to a Freshman in High School. And it doesn't end there, by any means. It continues into the JC level... another grandson.. AND into DII Football... another grandson. THAT is what you and I would both like to see as reason and priority for sports. But that's unrealistic. And just to be clear - It also continues into D1, (no grandson), and I think for a short time with a some NFL draftees.... and yes, some vet NFL players... Kupp as a perfect example. How do you keep that, foster that? I don't have a clue. - JamesJM]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubSun, 13 Apr 2025 01:46:06 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163045#msg-1163045 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163045#msg-1163045
Here we are , a few years into this Circus and the NCAA STILL does not have a set standard. These are the same HYPOCRITS who gave SMU the death penalty for "illegal activity"???]]> Ramgator Bucky's PubSat, 12 Apr 2025 18:46:24 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163028#msg-1163028 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163028#msg-1163028
But secondly: Money corrupts everything. Perhaps not totally but definitely to a large extent. Seems to me: The NFL suffers the same malady but it's more manageable because there are relatively few teams involved. But in college? Seems to me the level of corruption could be exponentially worse.

Basically... I don't know. :laughing]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubSat, 12 Apr 2025 15:33:28 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163027#msg-1163027 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1163027,1163027#msg-1163027
