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

NIL has ruined college football as we knew it. Lots of players dont come because they want to be a "Buckeye" but because we offer a NIL or a larger NIL. It's hard for me to regard them as such when they are not here for the "team"
Just look at how many players left this year. That's disgraceful.
The OSU is buying and selling players just like the pro's do.
So sad. It seems most fans cheer more for certain players than for my beloved Buckeye's.
GO BUCK!

No offense but this narrative is so tired. Do you not think that OSU, Bama, Oregon, etc didnt pay kids before? I saw this same retort when people saw this same statement. Its seems like fans who sound like yourself were more content when players just got paid by the dumpster of the Piggly wiggly or IGA. Theres a reason why Saban, Smart, Meyer, Carroll, etc were able to consolidate so much talent annually. And it wasn't because they wanted to matriculate from the prestigious universities.

The Program, Blue Chips, told fictional stories while we all watched the Pony Excess 30 for 30(or like myself, read the book too).
The NCAA chose to make billions from free labor until they couldn't any longer due to their greed. OSU will always be OSU to me. And I'll still love rooting for them, because I know they can and will pivot with the times. Its funny how if OSU had won it all this year, your love for CFB wouldn't have waned...

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

but the NCAA passed on doing that. They had decades to adapt and failed.

This is what happens.

I'm enjoying watching it burn, myself.

100, I've lost hope. That ship sailed.

There are reasons why no other country, to my knowledge at least, has any market for college sports. Universities in lots of developed countries don't even have sports teams. <mind blown explosion sound effect>

It was a good run.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

This goes back nearly 50 years at this point. Whenever ESPN became a thing, the ONE thing that they absolutely knew was that they needed College Football. The Big 10 and Pac-10 were already tied into the Rose Bowl and national broadcasts. Oklahoma and Nebraska from the Big 8 were also nationwide. So where did that leave the fledgling network? The SEC. So E!SPiN hitched its wagon to that beleaguered conference, and they promoted it and promoted it and promoted it. And they always WILL promote it. Because that's their bellcow. But NIL and the portal have destroyed E!SPIN's football hegemony. The B1G and PAC programs have ALWAYS had more money than the SEC. BUT they (mostly) followed the rules. The current CFP runs through ESECPN until the end of the 2031-2032 season. In the current expansion negotiations, the B1G doesn't even need to take the hard line. They just need to wrestle control of the CFP from ESECPN. Which they can and will do.

The entire State of Alabama only has two billionaires, and both of them are Auburn supporters. NO ONE in the SEC can outspend Ohio State, or the Cheaters up North, or Oregon, or Washington, or USC, or even freaking INDIANA. They can't even outspend Northwestern or Purdue. Even Rutgers and Maryland can basically spend with any SEC school except UT and aTm.

OKAY. I'm rambling. My bad.

The sec is about to become Texas, aTm, then everybody else. Maybe Vanderbilt. Florida and Georgia could scrounge up some donors but still unlikely to match big ten alumni money.

Of anyone is inspired by what Indiana did its Vandy.

2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Bestbuck36
Talk about mentally tough man, the Miami Redhawks are nails in that department. Kent has the upset in their plates ready to eat and Miami snatched it from them and went off in OT. Similar to the Buckeyes OT effort, they left no doubt about who was going to win.

Keep an eye on this coach. Travis Steele.

Actually wondering if I'm related to him as I type this.

Edit: not over yet. Kent 5 points last 10 seconds to cut it to 1 in OT. Lol

Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

A regular Dodge Neon? Or an SRT-4 Neon? The SRT-4 was factory rated at 215hp... except Sport Compact Car magazine put one on a dyno, and it put down 223 to the wheels, which means that it actually had ~300hp at the crank. Those cars were insanely underrated from the factory. I knew a guy who had a modded one. He would race *anyone* from a roll. Not so much from a dig, because hooking up was definitely an issue, along with insane torque steer. I watched him break his dick off in cars that cost 2x-3x as much numerous times. The funny thing was, his "real" car was a freaking Viper. He just liked to clown people in his "It's just a Neon" for the lulz.

IDK what my point was just now. It's my Friday, and I've had a couple Hazy Janes.

Carry on.

From my days as a stock boy at a grocery store in Centerville: One customer put a Porsche four banger in the ass end of a VW minibus. Another dropped a Chevy 350 into an MG- TD body. The guy with the mini was smart enough to also put Porsche level brakes on his monster. Oh, and fuck Michigan.

We lost to the #1 team by three points and the #2 team by ten points--which were our only two losses of the season--and we return our Heisman Trophy finalist at QB and the best WR in the country this coming season, and yet we get ranked at #6 in the pre-season poll?

The SEC will be right back to being propped up in the summer with comically over inflated preseason rankings for the usual suspects.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

Romanowski
No seasoned coach worth anything wants to work with Haslam, nor Barry for that matter. Their reputation has screwed the team and they know it.

That said, word on the street is that McDaniel told Haslam that there simply weren’t enough sausage shops at the West Side Market and with the recent trend of self checkout lines at grocery stores, bag boys were too hard to find in order for him to seriously consider Cleveland as his destination.

Ohio State vs. Minnesota, Tuesday Jan. 20, 630pm EST, BTN

Survive and advance but damn I thought Ohio State could won this game easier and it basically came down to a missed bunny by Minnesota in the final second.

Some clutch shots both ways in the final 5 mins no one could miss until the final possession for each team which then finally missed to go OT.

I turned the game on with 7 mins left in regulation and watched all 12 mins counting OT and I don't remember Minnesota making a single shot outside of 15 feet except a FT.
