College football is getting absolutely ridiculous

Have you not been paying attention? This has been going on forever. To tell you how crazy it is -- when I posted this -- the One More Year Fund has had over $20,000 added to it.

Sad. I'd rather be fooled into thinking it is an amateur sport than being fooled that being paid to do charity work is charity.

The Michigan NIL thing I posted about -- the kids don't have to do anything but come back to school. You come back to school and the money is yours. It is up to $71,000 now and climbing in less than 24 hours.

I agree -- Texas A&M and Miami are perfect examples of that. But the teams with huge NIL contracts are going to attract the most high end talent. I think tonight is going to show you what a team with huge NIL deals will do to a team without it.

I think Georgia is going to absolutely hammer TCU. The only team with the talent on offense to hang with Georgia lost to them in the semifinals. Even if Michigan would have won -- I think Michigan would have been hammered by Georgia again.

I don't think you understand what NIL really is.. Also aggy is a large school with a lot of alumni and fans.. Miami also has a large alumni base and sits in a recruiting hotbed.. They both have a lot of resources.. so it's cool when tosu recruits at a high level, or when Bama does it.. but you talking about those schools means they have to outspend everyone and are paying multi-million dollar deals for its players is a bit much..

lol so tonight's game is going to comedown to one school with "huge NIL deals" vs a team without it??

Take the "NIL" tin foil hat off.. One of the schools is a flagship school that's had success for a while and is playing elite ball over the past 5 years or so.. while the other is with a first year HC who's roster is full of players from the state it plays in. A team that exactly wasn't killing it on the field..

That has nothing to do with NIL

Would they simply sign these kids to financial contracts once they sign their commitment and get it over with? Quit the amateur athletics BS and just make it essentially the minor league for the NFL.

I just saw an article about Michigan with a NIL collective called the One More Year Fund or something along those lines. It is a fund set up where any fan can go and donate to it and it was setup to convince any player with NFL eligibility to come back for one more year, so any funds collected will go to those players.

If they all leave for the NFL anyway -- any money collected will be distributed evenly with the existing members of the team.

This shit is getting exhausting. Just give these kids a damn salary and get it over with. Give teams a salary cap, let schools trade kids away -- if they want to get paid like the NFL, go all the way and make it just like the NFL.

Two words, dumb-dumb.

If they want to be paid like professional athletes, they have to expect to be treated like one. Just take trade out and simply have your scholarship pulled if a team feels you aren't living up to their end athletically. So a kid can choose to stay at the school and pay their own way or enter the portal and leave.

As it stands now, scholarships are only for one year and are renewable. This was the reason you saw so many transfers before when a new coach was hired. New coach doesn’t have to honor those old scholarships and many times will not ~ see Colorado and Neon Deon.

I don't care how sausage is made, either.

Be proud, if you must.
 
I used to live and die college football. Now, Meh. I enjoy it but I ain't donating any money to convince a kid to go to OU to play ball. Lmao, anyone who does is a damn fool or has money to burn.

College football is nothing like college basketball. You simply aren't going to see a Cinderella team win a national championship. It was a small possibility when it was whoever finished 1-2 played each other and they had to win 1 game.
As they have changed it to 4 teams and now 12 teams -- the odds of that happening are probably on par with the odds for the lottery.

You have had UCF already in 2017 and Cincinnati last year. Hell TCU is playing tonight. The Cinderellas don't take the entire thing but they do make a lot of noise and make Final Fours.

That an NIL hasn't even impacted a full recruiting class yet. You have some examples here and there but wait until 4-5 years of NIL has happened before we make the call.
 
@NewPhoneWhoDis I think what you were missing is you think a Cinderella has to win the entire title to be a Cinderella. You don't even have that in Basketball. A Cinderella team is just one that is not a big school that makes a lot of noise on national scene and spoils a team's shot at a title. TCU already fits that description this year with them knocking off Michigan.

he's placing it all on NIL.. when most of where the players who are getting paid were getting paid under the table through handlers, family members. Some feel NIL is the same thing when it's not. You'd think after a year people would know the difference

I guess I don't see it that way. TCU won their conference was 13-1. That isn't a Cinderella to me and even as Michigan fan, I don't have Michigan in the hierachy of top teams in CFB. We are a team in the 2nd tier from the elite programs. Should Michigan have beaten TCU? Absolutely. If they hadn't given up 2 pick sixes and turned the ball over at the 1 twice -- they would have, but I don't care about the what if game. TCU won.

I think Georgia hammers them tonight. One team had the WR corp to attack Georgia's secondary -- it was Ohio State. That's how you get to Georgia. I just don't see TCU being able to do that.

I guess I see it different. UCF didn't beat anyone to change the outcome of the national champion. And all Cincy did was take up a spot in the CFP, unless you say they kept ND out of the CFP.

Will that be the solution? Because you guys told me that the present system would be the answer, amidst all sorts of constructive language like "fuck the ncaa!!!!!!"

2017 UCF would have been in a 12-team playoff along with many other teams (past Boise State teams).

TCU is definitely a Cinderella to me because they were on no one's radar to compete for a National Title.
