But they aren'tt getting the same reward. Notre Dame only received $17M from ACC last year. Notre Dame has made it clear they want to be independent in football. They aren't frothing at the mouth like FSU to be in the SEC or Big10. Notre Dame football is typically one of the biggest games on any...

Well, if your company is paying you 70% for your effort and your 70% effort is better than most people's 100% effort, i would argue your company is getting a great deal.

Regarding Joe Burrow example - Doing the bare minimum to earn enough credits to maintain eligibility isn’t cheating. Secondly, I took issue with your remote campus comment. I think there is a difference between “on-line” and “remote campus" Lastly, I somewhat disagree with your English...

I read too much into your reply. I was reading from the perspective “that a lot of the student athletes are pros now, so why pretend.” It sounded to me like you were equating satellite campuses with not really going to school or doing assignments. I have no problem with “instruction coming to...

I went to grad school at Ga State and took all but a couple of classes at their satellite campuses because it was more convenient. Thank goodness I wasn’t playing a sport for Ga State because it appears it wouldn’t have counted as going to school.

they haven't had to pay big bucks - yet. That's one of the reasons Saban isn't a fan of NIL.

If Tech had the money of A&M to spend specifically on football, they would be doing things very similarly as the big boys. Tech doesn't have the option.

if they were back to back and one was a thursday game, it wouldn't be too bad. Just stay out there.

it does when your SOS is 130

I agree with this 100%. I have no problem with players being able to transfer to any school they wish, whenever they want. I also have no problem that they would need to sit out a year. I don’t understand why that seems to be so egregious.

I understand that NIL is being perverted, but the novel idea posted by Vespidae (which I thought was creative), doesn’t solve unfettered NIL payments which lure players from one school to another. You can argue paying all SAs $50k/year will make them less likely to transfer, but the exceptional...

I love the novelty of this idea, but that isn’t paying someone for their Name, Image and Likeness. That’s just paying everyone money. Not everyone warrants being on the cover of an EV video game. Those people deserve the money they get for their Name, Image and Likeness.

Traditionally there has been a gap between the Top 8 - 10 schools and everyone else. I think NIL is going to move that line down to the Top 30 +/- schools. There are lots of schools that can buy their way into competing. You will still have the top 2 or 3 schools that have lots of money as well...

The concept is interesting and I could see some type of organization created for the top 50 +/- schools, but I don’t see any school president or super-rich, influential alumnae being subservient to the NFL. Perhaps more importantly, I don’t know why the NFL would want to take on the huge mess...

Maybe, maybe not. There’s a lot more competition due to Streaming services. 10 year ago, you only had 1 or 2 choices for cable and 1 or 2 choices for satellite - customers were captive to price increases. Today, there are many streaming services and they are not geographically bound. This will...

None of my UGA friends are going to their game this week either (and they can't give their tickets away). This is what happens when you play uncompelling games/teams.

Lol. It was this time last year when Dish had an issue with the ACCN. I subscribed to the Disney+ package (that included Hulu and ESPN+) trying to get the game – none had it. I ended up watching the game on my daughter’s YouTube TV subscription. Fast forward 12 months and I have cut the cord and...

Going back to my premise that a company is paying NIL money to link his business with that athlete (ie it's a commercial). I could see a contract structured something like, we have 10 games on TV which historically averages 1 million people viewing per game. We will pay you $100,000 per million...

Lol. I'm not going to die on this hill. I just think there is more wiggle room in the "NIL can't be pay for play" comments.
