FOURTH CONSECUTIVE LOSING SEASON FOR HOLES!!’
- Thread starter TJtheGator
- Start date
We need like 21 players to transfer out so we can sign a full class with the 25+7 rule. Just taking out the trash
It is a complete gamechanger for sure.
In 10 years the richest alumni will be able to buy themselves the best players. At some point top college money will begin to approach top NFL money and then dreams of NFL will be a secondary thing.
If things deteriorate like they seem to be, college teams will be just farm teams for the NFL full on legit and not just with the facade we see now. Look at Texas. $50K a year NIL deals for everyone?
There is either a reset on this insanity or our rah rah go team for good old Alma Mater is toast.

I agree and I’ve said it for awhile I didn’t like this NIL and it is going to cause more harm than good. The only positive thing that could come from this is all these corporations or boosters or whoever is forking over all this money eventually realizes they aren’t getting a good return on their investments and it slows down. I mean I can understand maybe giving NIL deals to kids that have produced and performed in games but to all these high school kids who haven’t done anything yet seems risky.
Eventually, the bubble will burst and we will go back to the old days of no academic exemptions and players being real students.
They will pass the cost onto consumers, aka the fans. TV will be more expensive with more subscriptions and there will be more commercials for the corporations and players to sell their product.
Games will be 6 hours long.
Fan interest will decline adding to the vicious cycle.
If you don’t like NIL and the new free agency portal, hopefully you also never speak of playoff expansion. The playoff is what opened the door to all of this
Well that's a foregone conclusion. And I can't believe it's going to be 12.
But, maybe in the end it's for the best. Keeps more teams/players invested.
I do think that I'm a few years....say 3-5....this rampant NIL nonsense is going to look different. Right now people are spending money on mostly unknowns. They'll figure it out. Especially with the transfer portal.
I wonder if a market is going to evolve. Is this thing going to be dominated by corporations concerned about profit motive or fans desire to win? We will see, I guess.
Agree with the NIL.
I just don’t know how people can’t see you can’t just keep upping the input by these kids yet not up the reward for them
I think things will muddle along for a while and then suddenly there will be a big scandal associated with NIL or payments CFB finances in general that triggers an unraveling of the whole system.
It's sort of like mortgage-backed securities. They were hot for many years until falling real estate prices exposed an unsustainable system. Then the house of cards collapsed within weeks.
Change happens gradually, then all at once.

I think eventually schools will just pay players a certain amount each yr.
My guess is it’ll eventually turn into a way to drop the same kind of bags they do now but legally. I can’t see how these huge NIL deals to kids who haven’t played a down can pay off. Maybe it’s sort of a dice roll, where they throw money at a lot of kids and if one out of 100 pays off it’s worth it? But I can’t imagine they’ll just let a coach pay a kid to follow them, which is what the dione deal sounds like. I imagine that will get altered at some point.
I don't think they are looking for a huge return on it tho. It's more like charity
