Might as well. It would end our misery at Colorado since they’d cut football.

I think a lot of schools would end up cutting football.
It has to be kept in mind that if they pay they will have to pay at least minimum wage plus things like workman's comp, etc. Players would have to be paid for all mandatory time including practice, meetings, lifting, travel, etc.
Also pay football players and with title IX the school also has to pay all women athletes and would in effect end up paying all athletes.
What we would probably see is a lot of schools moving down in classification unless there was a legal mandate requiring all schools to pay in which case you would see the end of almost all D2, FCS, and most G5 schools along with a number of P5 schools
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
I see your logic and I'll take it a step further...
Scholarships...could partially or end all together
Players will be required to carry a minimum GPA.
A threshold $$ amount allowed...when does the U get a return?
To your point under title IX...the AD's budget will balloon due to staffing costs to keep track of all the athletes.
I totally agree with many schools moving down in classification so they can compete with like schools caught in the same situation.
Nobody knows where this will all go but I could see the schools, especially smaller budget schools taking an offset against financial aid based on NIL moneys.

I agree. For the pay the players, CBA etc I think football would have to break away from the NCAA. If nothing else for escaping title 9.

News of Dorrell and staff supposedly adjusting to the transfer portal is hilarious. The “who knew it would be so challenging” comments say it all.
Staggering ineptitude.
Staggering ineptitude.
Watching Dorrell and staff navigate this new college football era is like the time I saw my 75 year old grandmother try to use a mouse and computer for the first time.

Gosh, I wonder if Oklahoma will figure it out and be fine.
Dorrell and staff couldn’t find their own asses with two hands. CU is, predictably, getting buried.
Oh you mean two sports CU doesn’t have because we’re a Mickey Mouse level AD?

CU don't have the money. But if they start paying football players. CU will most likely cut football and add Hockey and Softball.

Mark my words, when CU football breathes its final breath and the epitaphs are written, the apologists will blame the insurmountable uncertainties, challenges, and “who could have foreseen this” as the reasons. Not that CU lacked foresight and the fortitude to change and adapt.
I think you can add this up to the loss of Lincoln Riley.
That being said, coaching staffs that are without, got caught with their pants down by the transfer portal and the NIL. Well-prepared staffs have capitalized on a huge opportunity. Just another reason for Buffalo football to be red-faced. We are really eating the dust on many different levels.

Wait so you think cutting football would allow CU to ADD sports?!?! Come on guy.
I think a couple of his OU players joined him at U$C already too.
The only example you could come up with had to be immediately qualified as “adjusting better” …we’re fine.
Don’t forget the flatirons
Yeah and I think the Sooners picked up a pretty good QB already too.
Who would that be, must have missed it or forgot?

Needs a super league with enforceable, extremely penalizes-able violations out lined clearly, likely bargained between players and super league ADs.

Football is a big money maker. But CU revenue is already low and will have more expenses if they start paying players. CU will have no other choice but to cut football, Yes I think cuttimg football in that scenario will allow CU to add more sports, Can pivot to Basketball to be the big money maker. The other sports don't cost as much and can leverage TV renenue and ticket sales to stay afloat. But most likely it won't be a wholesale change. Probably will start with something like baseball and softball.
Have to laugh at people feeling sorry for Oklahoma.
Football matters at Oklahoma, winning football games matters at Oklahoma, the administration understands that winning football games at Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma boosters will provide the resources and the administration will support the use of those resources and Sooner (pun intended) or later they will overcome losing Reilly and be back to winning.
If they don't those administrators in charge will be seeking other jobs and new people will be in their place who understand priorities.
Not saying that CU should be like Oklahoma but currently and for the past couple decades we have been as far from the Oklahoma way of thinking as you can get.
