NFL voices support for "the voluntary pooling of media rights under the Sports Broadcasting Act" that B1G/SEC oppose in its current form

I mean what if OSU had Braxton Miller at QB for 5-6 years? The big brands have a following and it dwarfs the NFL on a team per team basis.

I think its just business though-they are thinking something in the vein of "don't go fucking up anti trust exemptions for the rest of us" and for the NFL and NFLPA specifically, "don't go fucking up our free minor league system".

fall in line and do it the way we do it so no one sees any alternatives to us.

Ever since they started going flag crazy with targeting calls at crucial moments, I’ve felt like “fuck the nfl” for the most part.

A part of me was hoping that shitbag from cincy/tech would’ve taken down the gambling industry because I sincerely believe that’s the main driver for current increases in nfl popularity as the product is complete dog shit

If the players ever get so disconnected from "school" that they can play "college" ball for a decade or more, I would think it would impact the talent pipeline for the NFL.

Just sayin': I'd be totally shocked if the Juggalos actually self reported any NCAA violations here.

Cincinnati denies agent's claim it knew of Sorsby's gambling​

"We will reiterate what we have said before," Cincinnati said in a prepared statement. "All of our student-athletes receive extensive gambling education multiple times throughout the year, and we would never knowingly play an athlete who violated NCAA sports wagering regulations. If we ever became aware of impermissible wagering, we would report to the NCAA and comply with sanctions."
:slappy::slappy::slappy:

Cincinnati is suing Sorsby for breach of contract after he transferred to Texas Tech this offseason. The school says it suffered damages of more than $1 million from Sorsby transferring.

I honestly think that they believe that a CFB superleague of SEC/B1G (and some notable holdovers like Notre Dame, Miami, etc) could be a threat to NFL's popularity. Especially since these aren't unpaid amateurs anymore.

I do wonder what the NFL's line of thinking is with this. Obviously keeping their wildly popular, taxpayer funded minor league is important to them, but would a radical shift in major college sports REALLY change much when it comes to their bottom line? I'm not exactly business or financial savvy but it's not like any relevant burdens would shift onto them.

It's a misapplication of terms at the basic level.

'College sports" is what field hockey and baseball players engage in.

The B1G and the SEC are engaged in professional football (and basketball) which is another way to say the entertainment business..

As soon as people quit trying to make those two round ends fit into one square box, real ideas can actually start to come forth.

If we continue to pretend that you use a University framework to manage college sports and entertainment companies both the same way they did back in 1950, then it's going to blow up and hurt Universities, non revenue college sports and the pro sport leagues that are struggling to find a way to emerge.

I know the University level power brokers and the politicians they own can see this (or at least I hope they can). Someone will win the power games and then this will get "fixed" depending on the self interest of the power base that wins.
