Shut it down. This is completely unsustainable and stupid. The schools really can’t push back on this because it will be used against them in recruiting. The money and dedication varies way too much across the 100 or so schools that sort of try. The NFL has unions, contracts, salary caps, free agency rules etc. You will never make the math work even close to equally when Tulane competes with Oregon. I kind of still care what happens to these mercenaries due to pure nostalgia, but I can feel that quickly fading.

Hughes was 7th string. Limar didn't take his job. Dude didn't even travel to Penn State. They're totally different players. Hughes doesn't bring anything better than anyone else. They have Limar as the 3 down jack of all trades (he sucks btw), Davison for ironhead shit, Hill for gadgets, Whittington for being a better Limar. It was a fuck up to take him in the first place, the only one Oregon has had.

The response will come from a collective. The NCAA probably needs a Kennesaw Mountain Landis type to take control and set a working protocol

Thanks Taft!

The thing is - TV ratings are up considerably and fans like the changes so far. Everyone has a shot now
Back in the day of unlimited scholarships a few teams could buy all the players. First came 105, then 95 and finally 85 scholarship limit. UW benefitted from 95. Oregon from 85
Now its free agency. Regulation always favors the rich and big as it would again in college football

Davis?

The collective will still be considered the University though by the players and agents. All it’s gonna take is one bad deal where a player doesn’t get paid or gets sued and the agent will steer players elsewhere on the front end.

Paying players without a draft system or union is fucked. Just make the move and make the NFL Lite league already with 30ish teams with a union and draft.

Unfettered capitalism. College football is the last frontier. Keep it

All roads lead to the super conference and collective bargaining. As long as there are irrational actors out there like Oregon, Texas AM, Miami, etc that are fine with lighting money on fire that distorts the market, this has almost no chance of improving. It’s basically the LIV golf problem.
