It seems they wanted to skip college and get paid originally. This "league," which pays players, also has the option to give them the same money but call it an NIL deal if they prefer. Sorry, but NIL has become so sleazy, and there is so much crap being allowed to happen since everyone is more worried about getting sued. Hard to believe that many schools and players give a damn about college sports. I wish they would split off professionalism from college sports before they completely ruin the college game.

I don't believe you're sorry about your NIL statements at all.

It seems like everything related to the NCAA is destined to be determined by a court of law.  The NCAA seems reluctant to fix these problems, I wonder if they even can?

If they don't then Congress will step in and then it will really get screwed up.

I don't think there was a doubt that they needed the rules to change; it seems that everyone is doing something, just to do something without regard for what will happen. The NCAA and schools were threatened with lawsuits and congressional intervention. So instead of actually trying to do something that helped and worked, they go ahead, and we trust you will behave (how else could you put out a program where you cannot enforce rules against tampering and it is clear that the players, in most cases, are being paid to play).

I am one who believes that Congress can make a mess out of anything, but I'm not sure they could have made it any worse, but I am sure they would like to try.

Let's be real here, if they were going to Kentucky, Duke, UNC or another blue blood, they'd be playing. You want proof? Rob Dillingham played with the Overtime Elite last year and was deemed immediately eligible to play for Kentucky this year. He had 17 points in their first game yesterday.

I hope these twins are cleared and lead Chicago State to the NCAA tournament. They're the only ones being targeted and we all know why.

this guy get's it. 

amateurism is dead...and good riddance. I hope NIL and payment schemes trickle down to the high school level next.

      7 Home Games Next Year

      If you bought season tickets for 2024, they're the same price for 2025 even with more home games.

      in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years. There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.
