Pro Football
Watch the problems skyrocket and watch the more seasoned coaches head for the exits.
Thought this was going to be about Zay Flowers 😱😱😱

Worse than pro football. At least in the pros, only a limited number of your players are free agents each year. With the transfer portal and no longer any limits on the number of times a player can transfer, all your players are free agents every year. And pros have a salary cap, college has no salary (NIL) cap. We can only hope this mess doesn't filter down to FCS, but I fear it will.

It is $51.3 million per school, not $513 million.

Mo money, mo money, mo money.
IMO, this is all by design and thought out well in advance by the Power 4 conferences. The 12-team playoffs beginning next year are the college equivalent of the NFL playoffs. The NCAA wants to continue to be in a position to feed at this trough so it plays a role as a sycophantic yet ineffectual self regulatory organization.
Under this construct both on the FB and BB front, you’re right this is worse than pro sports.
I foresee future major issues primarily related to gambling on games. All the elements are in place. I think the likelihood of scandals relating to gambling is like night following day.
I personally think Holy Cross and like minded schools and FCS schools overall are in a great position. The schools that are boxed are the mid to lower tier FBS programs that are not going to be able to keep up and don’t have the $$ to compete.
BC, Syracuse, Temple, UConn, UMass, and a host of others in the MAC and Sun Belt are going to get squeezed. They either won’t be able to land the requisite number of talented recruits to compete and/or will lose their better players.
I foresee many kids and families choosing to come to places like Holy Cross instead.
Just my two cents.
Let’s Win.

I agree....as college football exists now, I think we are situated in a good place.....kids want to come here, stay here and maybe do a 5th year (grad year) at an FBS school if good enough to do so. Ironically, the entertainment biz is working out for us....karma  |
