There’s no going back now that the Supreme Court has allowed this to happen.

I think it was inevitable this would happen when the money being paid on college football TV deals and coaching salaries became so enormous.

This is nowhere near the bottom yet.  There will be players threatening to sit out the season unless their NIL gets increased.  It's just a matter of when and where it happens.

I really doubt that.  If forgoing 1/5 ( more than likely 1/3 if the player is talented enough to think he could get an increase) of your potential NIL by wasting your eligibility   sitting out would be super dumb.  And it could back fire and basically end your college career and hurt your draft prospects.

Players are already sitting out the end of seasons.  What's a few more games?   And it's easy to see someone declaring themselves out for the bowl game, but might reconsider for 20-K or so

I’m suggesting we, along with 100+ current FBS members, are relegated to a non-playoff or somesuch division.  There will only be 30 or fewer schools playing football in the top division.  

Oh, I gotcha now.  Thanks.

Rhetorical: In a weird plot twist scenario, what if this new division of ours agrees to hit a "reset button" of some sort, and we are all back in a college setup without NIL/portal?  The other 20-30 teams push closer to a setup that resembles an NFL league, and we're all okay with how things ended up?

Do you like the direction this is going? That schools with lots of money and fans are just buying players? That agents are now involved? 

Because a gigantic school that has loathed athletics for decades isn't gonna play real well in that pool...

No, NOT AT ALL.

And the NCAA still had nothing to do with furthering these actions.

Is there any way that we can become a farm club of the Cowboys?

I suspect some of you are too young to remember when the Olympics went from being a truly amateur endeavor to professional. This happened in 1986 and there were similar cries of outrage. Of course now, no one gives this a second thought.

The same will happen with college athletics. Just as the amateur athletes were left behind in 1986, many universities will be left behind as the professionalism of college athletics takes hold. In twenty years or so, no one will give this a second thought as well.

 

I also quit watching the olympics.
