It was just a matter of time. I don't think this shvt is sustainable without some kind of rules.

Interesting comments from Bielema about the house settlement. He thinks it truly is leveling the playing field (at least between the B1G and SEC)

I think it can level the playing field if and only if there’s an oversight entity that actively and effectively enforced punishment for breaking the rules. But until then, I don’t see it.

The sport is just going to go back to McDonald’s bags of cash to pay guys after they have reached the salary cap.

There’s talk about all teams in the power conferences entering into an agreement with their respective conferences that says they will follow the rules around rev share and NIL deals or face possible loss of league membership.

IF that comes to fruition and has any actual teeth, it should curb any attempt to skirt the rules. I find it a little hard to believe that the B1G would kick out Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, etc if they break the rules (likewise with the SEC and the handful of the brand teams there).

There should probably be a tiered or three strikes system they agree to. It’s never going to be perfect or a completely even playing field as long as the entire talent acquisition method is based on freedom of choice from the individual athlete.

I agree that they wouldn’t likely kick them out but I also have a hard time seeing the teams like that in both conferences agreeing to it. They lose their advantage with no benefit.

Eh. We’re entering a completely new era. Those programs know they still have an advantage and the individual coaches pretty much all agree that rules and guardrails need to be put in place to prevent tampering, transferring at will, NIL loopholes, etc. If the conferences themselves are proposing these kinds of agreements, and the majority of other programs in the conference are signing onto it, the top programs will too.

The writing is on the wall. CFB is moving to an NFL-lite system that is trying to breed parity in the same way. The recruiting system of talent acquisition limits the parity a bit, but that’s where the sport is going and all the coaches and ADs/administrations know it.

I may have the wrong info, but everything I’ve heard is that he got an honor code violation because he was premaritally sexing more than one young LDS lady with faux marriage promises.

He is being accused of SA in a civil suit and has denied all allegations. The honor code violation is strictly for premarital sex after he admitted in court documents that he had consensual sex with the accuser, but there *could* be actual misconduct. No charges have been filed.

They wouldn't kick out the meal ticket programs, Ohio State, Texas, Bama, Michigan, Georgia, have nothing to worry about but Vandy, Miss State, Northwestern better toe the line.

Yes. The info I’ve heard is that the SA allegation emerged because the girl found out she was one of several on his roster and was promised fidelity. Ugly situation.
