I’m just waiting for when colleges can release guys at any time and trade them to other teams.
These guys want to get paid then let’s get real and treat them like pros. If they want to be able to transfer at any point then schools should be able to release them at any point and pick up other guys.
Money changes everything.

What I’ve written on other threads:
My assumption is that because of status quo AND big monies’ hesitance to try new things AND no other entity being big enough to pull off anything new AND the NFL already enjoying a free minor league (cfb)…
That the top ~64-80 teams will form a de facto minor league:
- It’ll still be tied to colleges.
- The NCAA will not be involved. They wouldn’t bring anything to this new table.
- They will have rules for revenue sharing, media interaction, transfer protocols, player compensation, etc… just like any other for-profit sports league.
They will do this because of the threat of governmental involvement and to survive as a legitimate and viable sports league given the new environment.
Also, this should have happened decades ago.

Not even remotely close of half a century. It was even until the late 90’s when tv deals started blowing up that you could even make a decent argument of the players deserving compensation. And even now 99% of college football players are massively over paid in their compensation.
Maybe 30 years ago...now it would have to be the Austin Laptops.
1. They definitely have to have someone or a group of rich people to fund it for the first few years. But just like the second go around of the XFL, if it takes off people with want to spend money. But unless the NFL invests then there isn’t any real way a league consisting of 18-20 years old is going to succeed because the compensation they want they will never get.
2. Without question football players don’t understand real life but IMO a big issue college football players is they compare themselves to basketball instead of the good analogy you use of baseball. An 18-20 year can go to the NBA and hold their own. No 18-20 year old football player can hold their own because any thought of a minor league is going to be like baseball and have guys cut from NFL teams.

The B12 schools and ACC schools will implore the member schools of the B10, SEC, and PAC to firm this new NCAA-less union, and that’ll probably happen pretty soon. All the incentive structures are there. Even the SEC member schools are incentivized to form this new league and negotiate an even bigger chunk of the monies involved.
we’ll prolly see lots of the outside schools suing , ratting on, etc, the elite3 (pac b10 sec) schools to pressure them to form this new league.

Why would the SEC care about the NCAA? They don’t abide by their rules anyways.

They wouldn’t. Did you read my posts? The NCAA brings nothing to the new table.

They don’t need to form a new league to avoid the NCAA rules. They don’t give a shit about them now. They are above the NCAA rules.
Who besides me believes the schools will break away from the NCAA and then they'll create a new organization that looks just about like the NCAA?

Well. I said it explicitly. So: Me.
Unless, the contention here is how much it looks like the ncaa? But I doubt you’d ask such a begging question. So, I’m going assume the best.
Very much so does college football need the NCAA. Without the NCAA regulation there isn’t a single conference other than the SEC. Ohio State never would have been in the college playoff last year without the NCAA allowing individual conference makes their own rules declaring their own champions. If anything was proven from last year it is that the SEC doesn’t need the NCAA.

I don’t know where to start with this illogic.
“without ncaa, schools can’t do what they want.”
Ummm ok

You don’t think whatever network owns the broadcast rights would want tOSU in the tourney without the NCAA?
Without the NCAA, tOSU wouldn’t need the NCAA to allow conferences to make their own rules. They’d just make their own rules.
No Conference needs the NCAA. And neither do you.
Of course a network, but networks aren’t going to run the super league. It isn’t the NCAA Ohio State has to worry about, it is the B1G. The B1G makes the schedules, determines who is their champion. Determines X, Y and Z. Ohio State needs to the NCAA much more than the B1G.
As long as there are conferences then yes. The NCAA is a governing body overall conferences.
