Sources: SEC to suspend head coaches who add pro players​

SEC schools that bring back NFL, NBA or WNBA players to their programs will face steep discipline under a new policy unanimously approved by the conference's 16 members, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

The penalties include a half-season suspension for a coach, a fine that matches 50% of the sport's annual budget and revocation of league voting rights, sources confirmed.

The SEC's member schools also gave commissioner Greg Sankey the authority to impose additional sanctions as needed, according to sources.

Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel that the SEC's chancellors and presidents voted 15-0 to confirm the penalties, with LSU abstaining from voting....:lol: The vote to approve the new policy banning pro athletes from returning to the SEC was approved by a 16-0 vote.

Julian Sayin’s revealed NIL amount shows Ohio State football is getting one of the biggest bargains in college football​

Julian Sayin’s reported NIL dollar amount looks to be a great value for the Ohio State Buckeyes for the 2026 college football season.

The 2026 Ohio State Buckeyes season carries significant weight after a one-and-done College Football Playoff exit following a national championship two years ago.

At the center of Ohio State’s hopes sits quarterback Julian Sayin, who returns for his second season as a starter in Columbus. The good news for coach Ryan Day is that he has a returning starting quarterback, something he’s only had a couple of times during his Ohio State tenure with players like Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud.

Sayin was good in his first year as a starter. He was a Heisman finalist and looked the part for the most part all season, though he left some room to grow at the end of the year. If the Buckeyes are going to be a better team in 2026, much of it will rest on Sayin’s shoulders and whether he can take that next step.

Julian Sayin’s NIL deal is a steal compared to college football’s top quarterbacks​

Ohio State is paying Sayin well on the NIL and revenue share front, but the number itself is striking. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Sayin is making roughly $2.5 million, the same as Texas quarterback Arch Manning. That figure puts him nowhere near the top 10 highest-paid quarterbacks in college football. He’s closer to 20th, and that’s quite the bargain for Ohio State.

Sayin is making less than quarterbacks like Indiana’s Josh Hoover, Washington’s Demond Williams, Pitt’s Mason Heintschel, Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed, Michigan’s Bryce Underwood, Auburn’s Byrum Brown, and SMU’s Kevin Jennings. He’s making roughly the same as Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea. For a former Heisman finalist and second-year starter, that is a massive bargain.

Big 12 announces ban on all professionals from returning​

The Big 12 has unanimously agreed to ban professionals from returning in all sports, the conference said Wednesday night.

The decision is in line with similar rules the Big Ten and SEC announced Tuesday, although the Big 12 is the first conference to include all sports. ACC athletic directors also met Wednesday, and there's momentum for that conference to follow bans on NFL players, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Jeremiah Smith Sees a Heisman Trophy in Legend Bey’s Future​

163475_h.jpg


“I think I said this back in spring. I said to Luke Montgomery, I said, ‘Before Legend Bey leaves Ohio State, he’ll be a Heisman finalist, or he’ll end up winning it.’ The things he’s been doing in practice have been pretty special,” Smith said on Wednesday.

Sources told Eleven Warriors that Bey has earned reps with the first-team offense this week. His rise toward the top of the depth chart – or, at the very least, toward a meaningful role during the regular season – comes after he missed the first two practices while serving a suspension for violating team rules.

Since that early speed bump, Bey has regained the trust and confidence of head coach Ryan Day, running backs coach Carlos Locklyn and his teammates.

You do your work for free so the business can keep more? For the good of the company you have no ownership in?

False. NIL came about because the players, like every American, have property rights. In this case, control over the use of the Name Image and Likeness. If you want to use it, you have to pay them.

Again, not the case. There is no new "wrong". There is just the SCOTUS telling college football you have been violating the actual rules for a very long time and now its over.

Find a way to do that without inhibiting the ability of an American worker to earn or change jobs and all would be kosher.

So what’s your solution?

It’s not inhibiting their ability to work to not allow professional athletes to come back to college to play. It’s the free market taking its course because these players aren’t good enough for the NFL.

Not sure what you’re talking about with working for free. I never said they shouldn’t get paid. They should, but if they go to the NFL then that’s that.

My whole point was right now the players have all the cards and it’s not right. They can do whatever they want and if a rule is preventing them from having extra eligibility then they’ll sue and win.
