This is exactly why I’m full fuck college football. Shit has gone waaay off the rails. No regulation, no enforcement…just a bunch of entitled assholes chasing a bag. What is at all appealing about that?

Overlooked in all this: Carson Beck is in his sixth year of college football. He’s been in 2 nc games, four ccgs, had 47 starts, is 6’3”, weighs in at 220 something, and can run the ball.

wonderful as he is, this is still just Sayin’s second year, his first CCG and his first start in a CFP game, he’s barely 6’ and I’m guessing weighs about 180. Yet to show an inclination to run with the ball.

thats a lot of advantage to Beck and Miami.

Eh. Let’s let it play out.

Downs, Sayin, Judkins , Howard etc. it’s not like we haven’t done well.

I think we are starting to see it.

Problem is the market place. If you’re the place that wants to lock people down 130 some odd other places will say “ we don’t do that here. Come on down”

It’s got to happen at some point but it’s not something you want to be first with

Yeah I thought of that too. Damn what a broken system because you’re right how do you not look like the asshole program sticking it to kids?

I suppose you just lean into it. IMO, you don’t sign any more 5 star kids. You take 25-30 kids every year that are seen as “projects” out of high school. This way you’ll get a year to see which 15 are serious ball players. Then with the attrition you go out and portal productive experienced kids.

Then rinse repeat.

I would never pay for a HS top recruit unless they’re a sure fire can’t miss. RB, WR, and secondary players maybe but either LOS or LB or QB you need developed players.

This needs to become the NFL soon. There should be 1-4 year deals and that should be enforceable.

Question is will courts let them enforce contracts or just continue the free for all

It will depend on the quality of each contract.

I think the issue will be the same as any civil suit. It can drag out for a couple of years and will just end up in a settlement.

Money may change hands but you can’t make them stay if they don’t want to.
