Would it stay an NFL farm system? Or become an NFL competitor? If it is not associated with the NCAA, would there be a move away from the players being students? Why only four seasons? Why not 10?

From a player (and agent) standpoint, competition between PE and NFL owners for players would seem to raise player salaries significantly.

If the powers that be think it's optimal to compete with the shield, they will meet a deserved and fitting end at that point.

However, your point about eligibility years is a good one. If this becomes separated from academia that will absolutely be a point of contention. I think it would be in the best interest of college football to keep it at 4 (with 5th or 6th years being incorporated for redshirts, injuries, etc.).

PS I still think you can treat them as students, just let them major in football. It's career development in principal, so I don't see much of a difference. This will all get figured out with a super league that includes a CBA with the players.

As an institution of higher learning you look at sports post NIL watershed and ask your self: Is this something only we can or should be doing?

If the answer is Yes: then you carry on as before

If the answer is No: you have 4 options
1. Stop doing it
2. Automate it
3. Insource it
4. Outsource it

#1 and #2 are non starters.
#3 is what you were doing before, an athletic department inside the University frame work. If that was working you wouldn't have answered "No"

Only #4 remains

NIL was a regulatory sea change that fundamentally disrupted the old model of college sports. It was over once that became law. Only option 4 (in whatever way you want to try and execute it) is viable for schools and conferences going forward.

Portraying the PE world as two dimensional bond villains out to fleece the schools is just noise. This is where it's headed. A separate legal entity operating a professional sports organization. Divide up the ownership and responsibilities, revenue sharing and payouts as you will. This reduces the threat of sports hurting the University (essentially eliminates it) it in no way puts the public institution in harms way.

Togiai records 10 tackles in Sunday night spotlight​

Now in his fifth year in the NFL, Tommy Togiai had the best game of his pro career in the Houston Texans’ 20-10 win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Making just his second start of the season at defensive tackle, Togiai led the Texans’ defensive effort by recording a career-high 10 tackles, including a sack of Patrick Mahomes.

He was the first NFL defensive tackle this season – and just the ninth ever – to record 10 tackles with a sack and multiple quarterback hits in a game.


Togiai had four total quarterback pressures vs. Mahomes, according to Pro Football Focus, which gave Togiai the seventh-highest overall grade (82.2) among NFL defensive tackles in Week 14.

In recognition of his standout performance, Togiai wins our Pro Buck of the Week award as the top performer among NFL players from Ohio State in Week 14.

2 weeks is a long time for emotions to calm down. I'm just an idiot on a message board, I don't have any info in the least....and I've already been wrong about this once. But I wouldn't be surprised if the path of least resistance wins out in the end here.

Wonder if that is mom's play.

Statistically, the game was equal. Don’t know how anyone can say we outplayed them. Result hinged on results in the opponents territory - they did slightly better than us.

Pretty much my take.

0-16 theoretical points on the table in those two red zone trips. Very small tail chance we consistently get 0 if you played this out 10,000 times but Saturday night, we took the bagel and lost by 3.

Variance.
