October 10, 2024Oct 10 Is this a big deal? Or maybe just another scam. It sounds logical, that's what concerns me. When the schools have to pay players, everything changes. Long live the Ducks NIL company. Acoustic Ducks.

It's absolutely a move towards college football becoming the NFL-lite, but it will help to avoid a situation like what happened with Matt Sluka at UNLV. and, when it's the Super Conference, instead of recruiting as we know it, there will be a Draft.

There will not be a draft. That totally ignores that school is about academics.

October 10, 2024Oct 10 Moderator The NCAA yet again is many days too late and millions of dollars short. High School draft? NFL Lite could have a draft with restrictions on 'rookie' pay, a salary cap as is the case if the House settlement is approved, with no limits on NIL as is the case in the NFL, restrictions on player transfers, and limited rosters. I'm not certain there will be any academic requirements, but if so, expect a 'Football Major.' All of the above will be negotiated between 'management' and a 'players union.' The top teams will join to collectively negotiate with the media including a super-conference network that will directly market game inventory as is the case with the NFL Network. Parity will provide the greatest money for all concerned as is the case with the NFL. The recruiting dollars and coaching salary escalation will be tampered down by recruiting budgets being replaced by scouting budgets. With an HS draft, coaches will not have to be salesmen except when players have the bargained-for ability to 'transfer' as free agents. When the NCAA's college football broadcast monopoly ended in the mid-1980s, the move away from academics, and student-athletes, and toward professionalism was inevitable. In the 1980s very few if any of us thought that gambling on college football would not only be allowed but encouraged. College sports gaming is just one more step toward college 'amateur' sports going pro. Pandora has left the box.
