Next step in the destruction of college sports must be the detachment of academics from Athletics

In Worcester, there used to be an industrial baseball league. The major manufacturing companies would hire guys based on their ability to play baseball - and in the summer they didn't actually work. Their "job" was to practice and play baseball. College sports could go the same way All the workers in Kimball will be 6'6" minimum. Everyone in campus security (aka public safety) will be able to do the 40 in under 5 seconds

HC was wise to help create the Colonial/Patriot League.

I think it was Nick Sabin who explained that major college football is becoming like the NFL except all players are free agents every year and there is no salary cap. Major college basketball is the same.
Of course, elements of that may seep into the non-major programs too.

Joe Pridgen and his classmate Drew Lowder each were the leading scorer on the 2919-20 HC team when they left the program. Joe went from a freshman year averaging 17.4 points per game and being named the PL and ECAC Rookie of the year to averaging 8.8 points per game as a senior down the road at Northeastern. Entering the portal has not been a net positive for the player as often as hoped.

So, for Crossports purposes, I propose that when a college athlete enters his 4th college team that he can shout "BINGO!" (or we can) as in the game of Bingo, you have a free space in the middle of the card and when you get 4 across or diagonally, you've got BINGO.
Looks like this kid got BINGO!

Are you forgetting our friend at Bucknell?
A certain announcer has BINGOED us out.
Will always turn off the audio when he is doing the commentary.

There's a baseball term that Keith Hernandez, Mets color guy, uses when someone strikes out 4 times, he's wearing "The Golden Sombrero".

For him to stay enrolled we needed to work 2 years at Bingo. The four years we worked previously did not count because we did not have a kid in the schoool back then. It was also when smoking was allowed so I work holding my breath a good amount of the time.

HC was wise to help create the Colonial/Patriot League. Why? Please don’t be fooled to think the academics and holier than thow approach of the Colonial/Patriot League will not be affected by the new rules of the NCAA. Joe Pridgen just entered the portal. My guess it’s for a big pot of money. Nothing to do with academics. Mark my words, first players then frustrated coaches will leave Holy Cross. As loyal HC fans and alumni, don’t be surprised. I hate say it but I’m afraid HC athletics will become intramural and that if we do get a great player in any sport, that kid will be poached for another schools roster with money in their hands.

football44,
That is why some alumni have started raising money for NIL payments. Haven't you read any of the posts about their efforts?

I do agree with much of what you wrote but obviously not the gratuitous "holier than thou..." stuff. However I do share your conclusion that HC athletics along w/other PL schools may downsize to a lower level of competition but maybe not necessarily. Would HC competing against mostly the same schools in a lower non-athletic scholarship division be so terrible? In my mind close competition on the field/court is most important at any level.I think your effort to try & find a middle ground with honest NIL money is admirable. We'll see. Peace
