Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The SEC, or at least Georgia, is threatening to take their ball and go home. They seem more than willing to break away and play their own game. Smart’s :slappy: comments about the SEC title game being for the national championship (second :slappy:) aside, it’s a giant gamble to return to a regional sport (talk about wanting to go back to the good old days). I don’t think they quite realize that yes, they have their rabid fans of course, but the only reason they make the money they do is as many people tune in rooting against them as do to root for them. They need both to keep the kind of cash flow they seem to take for granted.

James Franklin (HC Virginia Tech)

Lucky for us he doesn't have to be elite to do it.
I hope he IS elite on this.
I hope he goes undefeated. Same with Penn State. Both go undefeated for not playing Ohio State.
Then, in the playoffs, Ohio State shuts them both out en route to an NC.
Show you what happens when you don't play Ohio State and then you play Ohio State.

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

while becoming more willing to use his mobility
I think this is it. Maybe Pryor spoiled me - when he tucked the ball I got the feeling that he's got it. Then he was followed by maybe the smartest running quarterback I've ever seen in college - JT Barrett. Then came Justin Fields, and he was also good at running. Then came Stroud - how many times did I know he had 10+ yards ahead of him and he just refused to run it? "Tuck it and run!" Ugh. He made up for it by still throwing for more than he would have gotten with his legs. But it was still tough.
With Sayin, I'm not as confident that he's got the wide open yards for scrambling. But there's still times when I think "just run it!" Of course, he still completed 77% - I'm sure I was wrong more often than not when I got that feeling.
Anyway, I don't want him running too much, of course, but I wonder how much defenses will play up on the edges if he scrambles a couple of times a game.

:slappy:

I mean how do you not burst into flame at some point when you say shit like this?

The NCAA is going to protect student athletes from exploitation by getting anti trust exemption so they can continue to do the exploiting?
It's for their own good. Anyone can see that .... 8D

Schools and governing bodies need the ability to preserve fair competition, protect student athletes from exploitation, and ensure that programs across the country can survive.-Ted Cruz

Re: Congress has proposed several bills and hosted more than a dozen public hearings to discuss college sports in the last several years while making little headway in creating change.

Just sayin': I'm just not holding my breath that this bill will pass anytime soon.
