    Then just have the schools directly pay players, with a salary cap, and contracts.
    This is the way

    Anybody who gives anybody shit about mourning the loss of the college football of their youth is a grade A asshole or secretly broken up about it too but the culture of this shithole forbids any vulnerability. So actually, they’re the pussy.

    You’re not alone, @jecornel.

    I rewatched the movie Moneyball last night (which is why I’ve been referencing it so much). One of the grizzled, jaded old coaches makes the comment (and forgive me for paraphrasing) about finding out when the game (of baseball in this case) is done, “some guys find out at 13, some at 40…”

    He was referring to being a player, but I think the similar idea could be applied to being a fan. It’s actually rare for someone to be a lifelong fan. Between changes to your team, the league, or in your own life (marriage, job, kids) most people usually walk away at some point.
    We’re supposed to say fuck perspective but your perspective has been en fuego this week.

    As someone who has fucked on that campus in the distant past... I can say this program needs a collective penicillin drip stat.

    Does any else recall the Paint the Campus White Program from the early 2000’s?

    I could elaborate but would really prefer not to.

    That's not a fix

    Boosters will still exist

    1. Because you can either take university salary or university salary and booster money on the DL.

    2. Contracts will never work because why would players sign a multi year contract with one team if another will offer one year deals? Why should a 5* qb that signs with a school and redshirts, play backup the rest of their career because the school signed a better 5* the next year?

    If you're going to make it semi-pro then you would to eliminate colleges from the occasion entirely, and it would get even more complicated once you factor other sports into the mix.

    Contracts would be conference or league wide ( big, sec, etc.) and reflect interests of the schools and players. TV company/conference/school would be partners, wouldn’t replace NIL but players could not just hop teams every year.

    There's like 40k threads to pull that dismantles this utopia of loyal players

    EDIT: easiest way to dismantle it is pointing out that players should be fucked by committing and having a coach leave?

    Or going back to archaicly having transfers sit a year and be punished for it?

    There's no easy answer and it's going to be like this for the foreseeable future
