Cfb is completely out of control right now

NIL deals should be standardized to have language that forces players to stay 2-3 years, and players should only be allowed to portal once, second time have to sit out a year and school can veto destinations.
I don’t mind players getting paid but right now the whole thing is absurd. Want to get paid fine, need rules regarding moving teams like the pros have.
The kids right now also don’t seem to realize they need the fans just as much as the fans need them. Loyalty is a two way street.
Killing college football for the next generation, shout out to the players.
Performance based NILs as well -
Strictly from an organizational perspective it is out of control because players can move so freely. Just from a basic competitive standpoint I don't think losing entire position groups, at any given moment, is healthy for the enterprise.Alpo said:It's been out of control for 25 years+. Some of the money is finally reaching the players. The conferences and the NCAA are victims of their own success - they leveraged the insatiable demand from content, especially content that basically demanded you watch it live, into billions of dollars. Everyone involved paid themselves massive salaries the point that a glorified gym teacher coaching outside linebackers would get 1%'er money on a middling staff at a middling school. The head of the "amateur" NCAA pays himself $2 million dollars a year to sit around with the other hypocrites and sniff each others farts and wax poetically about "student athletes." They've built palaces for these players to work out, live, and play in and then ask us to pay $200 a ticket to watch them play some directional school so the team can pad their record with a couple guaranteed wins. The athletic directors, the conference commissioners, the bowl game presidents, the talking head announcers, all get paid 10x what most people in this country make in a year.
But sure *now* it is out of control because players don't have to sit a year when they transfer.
Every sport imposes limitations on players just so the actual sport can take place with a semblance of competitive balance.
Plus, the player schollies have never really been performance-based, so the kids have had a nice ride in these palaces you mention. The scholarship packages at even shitty schools are pretty great and definitely a product of the money-making side of CFB.

Wait for the scholarship limit to be rendered irrelevant when NIL payments pay for tuition, room and board and schools can recruit in excess of the 85 limit.

I don’t disagree with any of this, lots of blame to go around.Alpo said:It's been out of control for 25 years+. Some of the money is finally reaching the players.

Agree with this. We’re focusing on the portal right now because it’s fresh news but I think it’s more so possibly feeling the final blow mixed in with the destruction the playoffs have caused, players sitting out bowl games and now, as someone mentioned before, waiting for your entire roster to recommit each year with photoshops in front of volcanos, on Twitter.RaceBannon said:When you have 500 players in the portal and 450 of them are ignored it will sort itself out
I suppose all the stuff that we liked about the college game, going away.
I know you already know, but still. -
