I know staying into your mid 20's is the newest thing now but some of these players have got to move on. I mean 7 years is absurd. Your gonna be playing with guys who were in Elementary school in some cases when you first hit college. It's gotta be a bit odd that everyone you first came in with and the year after you (assuming your not a transfer which is a stretch these days) is long graduated at this point.

Just straight up calling him “Chad” Morris in the title LOL

People seem to think it's great because people stay in college and earn more money. But is it safe to have 23-25 year olds who've been in college football intensive weightlifting programs for 6-8 years smashing helmets with 18-19 year olds who are 0-1 years out of high school?

The whole thing is weird to me, but I guess I've hit that get off my lawn phase.

I'm sure smart people are in charge of such decisions.

I certainly get the money factor especially in the NIL era but at some point it just becomes a bit odd. I guess if your a transfer and only spent say a year or 2 at the last school it's easier especially when your probably spending a lot of time with the fball team but still it's hard for me to see how you can spend 7 years in college and not want to move on with your life.

Especially considering the class you came in with as a Frosh and all your friends/teammates from that year have graduated and been gone for 2-3 years. It's not a 1 for 1 comparison but it's like staying in HS for a few years after your normal class graduated after the first year it's gotta start feeling weird.

“Gosh, if I get a seventh year, I could date a really hot freshman chick! But won’t I look like her dad?”

People used to be laughed at for staying in school so long.

Bring back bullying.

Agree. Unless you're really doing well with NIL, I feel like I'd want to move on to the next phase of life when I'd see so many of my friends off to the real word.

The need an age cap or just open it up to a maxium of 5 years no matter what.
This i all getting crazy.
Sure he will probably be able to make a ton of money in NIL but 25 year olds vs 18-20 year olds is general not fair nor in the spirit of college sports.

 

[JRHEETER]

This is just insane. If this is approved, you might as well call it minor league.

What classes could this guy possibly be taking at this point?

I imagine the same ones most UNC athletes do. But, also, at the same - we know that many college athletes (football & basketball in particular) are much more "athlete" than "student".

Classes? You talkin’ about classes? (Apologies to AI)

ffs people, just go get a real job and let the younger kids have a chance. I get it, theres more money in NIL than in used cars but 7 years? Christ.

Well nothing is fair anymore, unfortunately. Needs to be reasonable guidelines. Not gonna happen. In what world is some teams having a NIL
Bank of 50 Million, and other participating team in the same Conference have 3. Hoops team with 6,7,8 Mi key D AA’s while opposition they play against all 3star athletes. Seems fair to me.

Football has more parity then before. Look at the various teams that have made the playoffs.
We jumped to a 10 win team out of no where. The portal is great for football, not so much for basketball.

NCAAF should not be the backup for good college players who aren't quite good enough for the NFL. I don't blame them for wanting to make as much money as they can, but this is so stupid.
