Totally agree with your points and appreciate the dumbing down for an old pecked wood, like me. :cool:

The biggest question for me is where does the 'Letter of Intent' come into play? Does that not constitute a work contract between the athlete and the institution when they sign it?

I am not a lawyer and have never seen an actual LOI agreement for college football but they are not the same thing as an employment agreement in the real world.

LOI in CFB means I agree to come play football for you in return for a scholarship. It binds both sides to do whatever is in the agreement. That’s why guys have to be”released” from them.

As @Trevi said above, and I mentioned in one of my anti common sense posts, these have been 1 year deals between player and school for the majority of CFB history. It was just the other way around so now that the schools and their lobby are trying to do what’s best for the sport-they don’t mention that so much.

This is the modern coal mine owners working together to buy politicians and control the cost of labor so they can keep control of the tv money. They know that only 20-30 teams are big enough brands to survive in a world of year to year free agent bidding wars and that even then , those teams cannot carry the expense of the 30 some odd teams at the university that don’t make money.

This is the fight for how it’s going to go forward. Old owners find a way to still control it or it totally blows up and changes (imo).

Would it be negative recruiting to point out that DGG’s huge deal with Tennessee directly reduces their ability to surround him with quality players?

Point to the recruiting class he’s in, point to the current players on the team. Ohio State invests across its roster to compete for national championships. Tennessee sells out for a handful of players each year and crosses their fingers that will be enough as they hope for the best with the rest of their roster.

Would it be negative recruiting to point to the strength and conditioning results in college and projecting through to the NFL? Ohio Stater literally has more than twice as many players in the NFL right now (80-39).

Would it be negative recruiting to point out that Tennessee’s head coach will likely get fired with another year or two of highly likely mediocre results?

Outside of the money in question, choosing Ohio State is the easiest decision in the world. Can Tennessee throw enough money at the family to make them look past everything else? I guess we’ll see.

Also, interesting timing on this announcement considering that an Adidas deal at Tennessee is reportedly a big part of the financial discussion.

RB Lamar "Bo" Jackson (All B1G)

Don't have any problem with the projection, but cannot really see three Buckeyes splitting votes, with one of them being Heisman winner. Most teams bemoan having two players in the running, let alone three. Don't get me wrong, would love to see it, but the law of large numbers kinda implies that won't happen. Especially with last year Heisman finalist, and the 'best player' in college football. That's pretty tall cotton....
