The NFL would need to pay for their developmental league, and has no incentive to do so since they get it for free under the current system.

Glass half full: These incentives are great and are just what we need in a coach's contract to drive performance! Glass half empty: The previous coach had similar incentives in his contract.

Appreciate your comments but I disagree with this at least in part. I believe TV revenue corrupted the system and the ever-increasing deals have led to increased corruption. But I also think that, while TV revenue started the ball rolling downhill, NIL has turbocharged it. NIL is now a key...

I don't want to speak for @forensicbuzz but my takeaway from his mention of a player's union is that it's based on the NFL model. Perhaps the union's collective bargaining agreement with the NFL allows for things like their salary cap which might otherwise run afoul of laws prohibiting...

I can imagine, and this is pure speculation, that the salary negotiations went something like this: GT: Brent, we want you to build a winning team, but we've only got a pool of $10M total for you and your staff. How would you like it to be split up? Brent: I'm willing to take a bit under...

On second thought, I'm not so sure it would help, and might actually hurt schools that are apt to have smaller NIL deals. What is the value of limiting scholarships in an environment where the value of NIL deals can be multiples of a scholarship's value? What's to stop someone from bypassing...

First suggestion I've seen that might actually be workable and slightly helpful.

Your take approaches the definition of "glass half empty". Maybe if you gave it some more thought you could find some other aspects to criticize. ;) Seriously, although you raise some good points, I don't follow your logic about the low salary making it difficult to attract his successor.

Don't see how restricting NIL would stand up in court. It would likely be considered restraint of trade or some such issue that runs afoul of free market regulations. Right now the NCAA is the only overarching governing entity that can establish rules for schools and S-As. Yet they have...

Agree, but what incentive do players have to unionize? Right now its a "have your cake and eat it too" type of situation for them.

This contract almost sounds like J Batt was reading this board's wish list. If it has strong incentives, it's a home run.

Haha - sounds a bit like my wife who used to tell me "you're so smart you're stupid." 🙂

Speculative, but I share your take on DP and "what might have been". It's supported by our performance in the last 8 games, CBK's comments, as well as the objective improvement in our defense despite everyone calling for CAT's head prior to CGC's departure.

As a tech alumnus who thought until recently that alumnus=graduate, I thought you had a valid point. However, in all the back and forth I believe we have lost sight of how the referenced comment relates to the thread topic. The quote was "so you're not a Tech man", and the point, in my opinion...

The system could use a brake job, I think it's low on fluid...

Agree. That's one of the aspects of the current situation that make it difficult to predict and a challenge to resolve. Normally, the "market" will find an equilibrium point that in the business world would result in some level of equity for most participants in a league. As I see it, there...

The recent spate of transfer announcements, together with the coaching carousel, has prompted quite a bit of angst concerning the direction and future of college football in general, and Georgia Tech’s role in this new landscape. The changes seem unsustainable, yet they continue to accelerate...

If the prof didn't mean to be snobbish, he certainly could have worded it better. We are our own worst enemies sometimes. I can't say I've ever come across a ugag fan saying to another that they are wearing the wrong shade of red.

This is one of the reasons I like this board. No better way to shut down player rumors than to have the player's Dad chime in! 🙂

Thanks for the links, I actually read them. :) What I gleaned from your post and the linked guides that I believe directly applies to our punting woes is the guidance for a short first step. In support of your comment, the guides state that "The first step is a short weight-shifting 6 to 8-inch...
