Honestly, I‘ve stopped caring if they take classes. What we have are professional athletes who make millions a year to focus 100% on football and can transfer at will to whatever team pays the most. I think it’s time to drop the student-athlete charade. The five-year eligibility limit might be...
Maybe in terms of getting into the playoffs. But there’s something to be said for playing out of conference games against teams with a pulse. I’d much rather watch OSU vs. Texas than, say, OSU vs. the Florida A&M Rattlers.
This demonstrates how odd the economics of college football have become. A quarterback making more money staying at Ole Miss than by going to the NFL. I have to think NFL revenue per team is much higher than SEC revenue per team, so where is the money coming from? Boosters I guess.
Not to single out LSU, but differing donor priorities is just another reason why Harvard has a $57 billion dollar endowment and LSU has a $1 billion dollar endowment.
The current economic model is not sustainable. I seriously doubt any of these transfers will generate enough incremental revenue to cover their cost. But as long as boosters are willing to keep writing checks, I guess it will continue.
Brendan Sorsby is a decent quarterback and a good catch for a team like UC. But Texas Tech paid way too much. I don’t see him being one of the ten best quarterbacks in the NCAA, much less taking anyone to a playoff championship game.
