NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted January 5 An anticipated change to the College Football Playoffs upcoming 12-team format is expected to be approved on Monday, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, as the CFP Board of Managers looks to change the automatic qualifier count from six to five. The move comes in response to the dissolution of the Pac-12 as a power conference.

It has to come from a third party. I'd also say Kris Hutson and Keith Brown aren't going to draw big NIL dollars. Brown didnt make a big enough impact at Louisville or he'd still be there. And Hutson is good... But he was buried on the depth chart at Oregon and played like 9 plays all season. I'd be shocked if there was really any significant NIL money going to either of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 6 Share Posted January 6 David, et al, come 2025 I expect that NCAA prez Baker's idea will be adopted. There will be a separate NCCA division where teams commit not to pay less than $30M per annum directly to athletes via NIL put-in trust. And 'trust' will be a phantom trust. Female athletes will also have to be paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great College Football Schism is Coming | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM The great college football schism is coming, and it will fracture college football in a way that will shake the very sport and... The Eventual College Football Renaissance | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM The Great College Football Schism is Coming, and it will leave College Football divided between the Semi-Professionals, those... So if it does come to pass then I would effectively be 1 for 2 in predictions and then we'll have to wait like... 10-20 years to see if I get the second. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kids may also value playing time or other factors (e.g., a fresh start, new coaches, being closer to home) over NIL $$$… Edited January 6 by OregonDucks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beav fans seem to the think the only reason they lost anyone this year was strictly NIL. Definitely a factor, but playing time and looking good for the NFL because of playing time are the biggest factors for most I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Beavers' case, it could also be wanting to play against top competition and exposure, especially if the player has NFL aspirations. I'm just saying that every player has different motivations/desires and it's not always about the NIL $$$. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
