[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 941522, member: 1555"] A few comments in response to various posters… First – Mods, should we merge this thread with the one I started a few months ago? I’m ok with keeping it separate but it seems we are rehashing a lot of the same discussion that took place as recently as last month in another thread. [URL]https://gtswarm.com/threads/nil-transfers-and-stratospheric-salaries-what-is-the-future-of-gt-football-and-college-football-in-general.26262/[/URL] NIL will “level the playing field.” Actually, it simply moves the playing field to a different sort of “unlevelness”. Some of the traditional powers that got there by being better at under-the-table payments and bending the academic rules will remain there with NIL, while others may fall by the wayside as the “haves” will be those with the most deep-pocketed boosters. When Saban complains about NIL, you know the traditional power hierarchy is threatened. The best players going to the highest bidder will not result in a level playing field. Transfers with eligibility restrictions – this restriction is common in employment contracts today. Enforceability may be questionable, but again this is not something that has applied just to S-As. I for one am in favor of a return to the old rule that required sitting out a season. This makes poaching GT's best players less attractive to the blue-bloods. [/QUOTE]
