Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Just the beginning, but the it is a beginning!

NJDuck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Since we're on the subject of NIL, thought I will add this as well. I agree, guidelines need to be created. Why college football is entering a 'golden age' with NIL deals Ask college football fans about their thoughts on name, image and likeness (NIL) in collegiate athletics, and you will likely get a mixed bag of responses. Some are in favor of it, some are against it, and others — like FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt — believe its both great that college athletes are able to capitalize on it, but acknowledge that there are still plenty of issues to work out. "NIL has created a golden age of college football and I believe we are at the dawn of that golden age," Klatt said on a recent episode of his podcast, "The Joel Klatt Show." "College football has never been better." Klatt's reasoning for calling this the "golden age" is due to the depth of talent in the sport. Athletes being able to capitalize on NIL has created an incentive for top-notch players to return to college as opposed to making an early jump to the NFL. Why college football is entering a 'golden age' with NIL deals WWW.FOXSPORTS.COM Joel Klatt explains why name, image and likeness has created a golden age of college football due to the depth of talent in the sport.

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I just about choked on the thought of this being a "golden age" due to NIL, and then I remembered that Bo Nix would probably not be returning for one more year unless there was the 1.5 million... 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I think no one's time is worth 1.5 million dollars per year. AND, I love watching Bo Nix play. I guess I just need to keep learning how to become more comfortable with change and absurdity, given that I don't have control over any of it. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrspenney No. 5 Share Posted May 23, 2023 This guy Klatt is an idiot in my opinion. It is not the Golden age of collegiate football. NIL and the portal policies are destroying college sports. if congress can legal put controls in it will save collegiate sports as we know them, otherwise in the not to distant future collegiate football will shrink down to around 40 teams. Who will be damaged the most with almost 100 teams dropping football because of the loss of TV income and much more, your going to see around 8500 scholarships disappear and most of those losing out will be minorities. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Klatt and his statements are head shaking and mind numbing. I agree with all you say mrspenney, but with one exception. Congress has a deep record of putting in controls that not only save nothing, but they also make matters worse. I suppose it's 'possible' that they save collegiate sports. Even a blind squirrel .......... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCKED No. 7 Share Posted May 24, 2023 In college football today is any thought given to academics? It appears that portal players face very little scrutiny when it comes to picking a new school. Has Oregon ever not accepted a transfer it really wanted because of grades? Has any other school? Well, maybe Stanford. If players are being paid to play they are not amateurs. What are they? And don’t get me started on the term Student Athlete. College football is a mess right now. Golden Age is laughable. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the NLRB piling on does not help. Can't these people understand that they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and that the people who will suffer the most from these are people of color and females? There is just no way IMO that a number of schools granting athletic scholarships today will continue to do so if athletes are found to be employees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Age is laughable. CU changed its policy on transfer credits to enable Deion to raid the portal. But even Stanford does not have the same admissions standards for quality athletes. I know this because a former Stanford golf coach, Wally Goodwin, explained to me that he had close to carte blanche in taking in 2 golfers a year. These guys were not dummies but they did not have the grades and board scores of most applicants admitted to Stanford. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a golden age for Bo and other "student-athletes" but not for college athletics as a whole. However, I have no beef with college athletes' right to own and market their NIL. The NFL has a team salary cap but no cap on what a player can make off of his NIL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of one football player who had no trouble transferring from an SEC school to an ACC school, but then had trouble at the new school because they wouldn't accept many of the credits he had earned at the SEC school. Ended up in D2 to remain eligible. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
