Just read through this. California schools are likely to make SA's employees soon enough. The rest will likely follow suit. This is likely the path forward. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5313992/2024/03/04/college-athletes-employees-dartmouth/

Here is a quote of what is happening. "A victory for the Dartmouth players’ unionization efforts could motivate other private schools in conferences with more diverse membership than the all-private Ivy League to organize themselves. If the ongoing trial into an unfair labor practice charge in...

I don't think so. It ends the BS that the athletes are also students. It will also finally make give it the final resting place. Minor league football. "amateur football" is dead and never coming back.

The push is real.... What I am saying is this ultimately becomes minor league football. Students will become employees. Their will be a Players Association and there will be a cap. Some schools are already funding NIL collectives FYI.

What I am saying is there is a push to make the student athletes EMPLOYEES of the school.

Currently the plan is to make kids employees of the school is my understanding.

Sure there can be. The movement is to allow the schools to be the ones to pay the players. That's when you set the cap.

A real education? Might as well take the college out of "college sports". These are ambassadors to the school. The US of A is a service economy that has recently (last 10 years) become heavier towards an entertainment economy. Schools are going towards that as well. Everyone is an influencer, or...

agreed.

He just cannot handle being a leader. He needs to be given direction and to work within that confinement. He can be a good to great DC but has zero management skills that translate to being a HC.

I'll be in the minority but I think Collins will be okay as a DC again. He is just NOT a HC. He should never be allowed to be a HC again. With talent he might find success again as a DC.

Agree 100%

If they want to grow then yes. The idea is to build up. Get undergrad enrollment up to 25k or even be able to raise prices because of desirability to get in. Will also lead to more donations from sidewalk fans.

So you can win football games and expand the Institutes brand.... uga and several others have immensely benefited from their football programs achieving success. Football is the brand of the school and sets it up for visibility throughout the US and World. Only the "nerds" care about the GT...

It's all a lie anyways. All but maybe 10 teams in the power 4 have SA's that are only there for football. GT needs a degree that will develop young men, but also not put too much pressure on them academically to where their main focus isn't football.

Yeah the BOR won't allow the change. Which is messed up. This NEEDS to be removed. GT must start allowing kids to come to the school that have zero interest in a degree. That are there to play football. Why set goofy limits based on 85 kids out of total enrollment. Let them slide and boost your...

Still to advanced for some of these kids. Sadly GT cannot offer a major in some form of "liberal arts". Like Art History or Philosophy. Pad those majors with some bogus classes and let the boys focus on what really matters. Winning football games!

LOL true true. GT needs to drop Calc as mandatory. That should of happened soon as Batt got here. Priority #1 haha.

Have to give and take. Cannot demand your team be all academia and all conference. Need a 65/35 to 80/20 split of football first being the higher number and true student athletes being the lower. That's usually your OL/Special Teams. Everyone else, I don't care if they can count to 5 as long as...
