When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

Divisiveness in the locker room? What a bunch of socialist nonsense.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
I kept reading and Texas Tech is doing an NIL deal for 25k for every football player plus 15 walk ons. So they basically upped the number of scholarships from 85-100. The future of college football is looking gross. If you think the stipend is a big deal, look out. I predict within a few years the SEC will get a guarantee of 200 grand per player including scout team. There wont be any talent left over and they will legally bribe transfers.
On the flipside nothing is stopping us but its not going to be fair. What happens when we sign a similar deal for 5 grand per player? A business owning fan/donor says ill drop $425k and you can give it to 85 players to appear in a commercial or wear a patch. We just upped our scholarships to FBS level. 5 grand is like a half scholarship in reciprocity states. 22 walk ons could spend it on half tuition. The 1/2 scholarships could turn it into a full. The full now has an extra 5 grand plus FCOA. Heck some business who are fans could start an advertising endowment program. You think Gate City, Scheels or Bell wouldnt jump on that?

Might these NIL deals, like Texas Tech's and Miami's, repel a segment of the college football fanbase?

A segment? I would say a majority of CFB fans follow the sport due to the (perceived) amateurism of it and the (perceived) connection to their university. This is college sports turning into the minor leagues. I would guess that within 10 years the P2, P3 whatever it is at that point is the only ones with NIL. It's just an unsustainable model, IMO.

Re: A new and better FBS thread
25,000 a player to perform x amount amount community service hours isn't outlandish and is actually a smart way to handle NIL. It would be amazing if we could do something like that for all of our student athletes someday, albeit at a lower dollar amount. The problem is that it won't end there and Herdbot is right, this will totally get out of hand and will be unsustainable for all but the P5. What really repels me is recruits individually getting paid to go to a school based on some fake NIL deal. It's pay for play and ruins college athletics

I guess I just don’t see where there’s a problem with any of this or what it ruins. Just about every sport on the planet has had to cope with the transition from amateurism to professionalism in the last 150 years, which ones are worse for paying their players what they’re worth?
