I miss College Football pre-"NIL"

Trust me...we all do.

The only thing that is gonna stop NIL at this point is consistent negative returns on investment, and make it the schools responsibility to pay the players. How many times can Ohio State alums buy a 20 million dollar team and not make it to the championship? I use them as an example but that goes for so many teams, no booster and fan wants to pay that money just to make the playoff.

Its one thing an owner of the Yankees to throw 2-300 million away and not win for 20-30 yrs. The avg person like us will throw the $50-100 away for a few years before it gets old. Not sure what happens to the big whales for some of these teams when they need to give 5 million away every year with no results.

Can we keep this thread as just an update on portal entries and not topics being discussed in other threads. Not trying to be a jerk but this should just be about portal entries especially when the NIL conv is already being discussed in numerous threads.

If the schools are responsible, that will pump the brakes. But as long as NIL is outsiders in part, then we will just have a bunch of George Steinbrenners... only more emotional due to ties to colleges. If $50M does not win a championship, then $75M will (especially with a new coach). Apply to Ryan Day... the problem was him and not having ENOUGH money... not that they spent too much.

Agree. If system stays the same, the prices will just keep going up and the gap between the Haves and Have not will keep increasing.

There are no true returns with NIL...its basically charity. At some point rich people want to make more money from 75M more than just wins on a football field. NFL owners invest to make more money, College Donators at some point are going to say 'give me an ROI on my money'. The present system is so unsustainable on so many levels it's bordering on the absurd.

Guy talks fast and sounds confident in his words, but I have alot of questions.
Has to be collectively bargained, SEC/B10 do not want salary caps, How do we limit football to only 12 M? out of a total of 22M Sounds great in theory, I'll believe it when I see it. So all Freshman go to DII first?
Who is telling the players that? Soccer transfer style? Where is the US legal precedent for that? NIL or rather these NIL cartels are still legal no matter how far away from the ruling NCAA v Alston it really is.

This is the consequence of the collectives.

They have no R to realize. They're straight I.
