College Football News, Rumor & Humor

The moment the SEC/B1G exclude half or a third of the current P4 and all of the G5 by creating their own NFL-style league with their own playoff that isn't open to the outside programs, is the moment the fans of the outside programs stop caring about the SEC and B1G games that are being played. College football needs eyeballs and when you alienate a large chunk of the current FBS program and their fanbases, many of those eyeballs go away.
IMO, that's why any super league has to start with a bare minimum of 48 teams, but more likely 64. Basically, it needs to incorporate the current P4 programs.

Exactly. If CU were to get relegated to a lower division, I wouldn’t watch their games anymore…but beyond that, what earthly reason would I have to watch a super league with teams I care absolutely nothing about?
I have the NFL for that

Yep. Not too many people watch minor league baseball, if they do it's a local team, and most will choose to be fans of an out-of-market major league team if all they have locally is minor league (if they bother to invest emotionally at all in the sport). Case in point is how little support CSU gets despite the number of alums in the state and the great bang for the buck to attend one of their football games. Minor league is minor league.
When my son was.little, we'd take him to Albuquerque Isotope games if they were in town that weekend. I just went through the motions with that shvt. He didn't give two shvts about the baseball and there were guys that ended up in the majors out there. He just wanted to play all the games they had set up and the junk food of course. We were visiting Texas one summer to visit some of my family and friends. In Midland, they had a minor league squad. It was much of the same except they had some really good BBQ. They had changed their name to the RockHounds. They were the Angels before that. Really wasn't much different other than we didn't have to go to a.restaurant afterward.
I am currently watching a replay of ACC media days from Thursday

I agree, I mentioned mega conference. To me that means at minimum 48 but likely 64

I had to go check for myself that this wasn't AI generated.
The funniest part of all this is that everybody in college football hates recruiting now, even the blue bloods.
I suspect as soon as a super league is formed, breaks away from the NCAA, and school becomes optional, there will eventually be a draft system put in place. High school players can choose to opt into the draft for that league or decide to go to any school/program outside of that league.

I think I’d prefer my team not being on this list.

Most iconic -- and chaotic -- alternate CFB uniforms of the past 25 years
We handed out nominations to some of the best, worst and wildest alternate uniforms donned by college football teams over the past quarter century.

I think I get his point.
I don’t think a draft for kids going to school will ever be implemented. Superleague or not, we have to remember that 99% of these kids will not go on to the league. So getting to choose where you get your education is still extremely important for a majority, even if they don’t realize it at first.
I’ll see if I can find the source, but there have been some rumors going around that the power teams want to collectively agree to follow the rules and adhere to the budget, no under the table payments, otherwise severe punishments will be levied. Scholarship and player limit reductions, conference championship and postseason restrictions, etc. The reasoning is that coaches are exhausted by all the under the table stuff. If it goes away and all they have to negotiate with is the budget, it’s much less stressful.

Has he suffered a recent head injury?
My prediction is based on school being optional or not offered at all. I think all paths are leading to a true semi-pro NFL feeder league where this is a job and there is no education component. Same idea to a certain extent as minor league baseball where top HS players can choose to go to a school and play while getting an education or they can opt for the draft and go to the minors.
That would make sense although I think it would be such a poor life choice for nearly all of these kids. I don’t watch enough baseball to know how many high schoolers skip college for MLB and the minors but I’m assuming it’s a very small percentage #’s wise. If it became the choice of school plus football vs football minor leagues, I think one of those options has too few players to actually play.

Seems like first round is pretty evenly split.

Midget is not the preferred nomenclature
It depends. If you are drafted high enough out of HS, you can get a pretty sizeable bonus. I know of a 4th round pick a few years ago who got $400,000 as a bonus. Also, many of the signees out of high school have clauses that stipulate the MLB club will pay tuition if they leave the minors by a certain age. Now if you are a non-bonus pick, bypassing college for the MLB draft out of HS is probably a very bad life choice.
I had a summer job at a Catholic Church/School/Rectory/Convent complex with a guy who was drafted in later rounds out of my high school. He had yet to figure out what to do next after washing out of the minors.
That happens too. I have heard a lot of guys hang on too long, and even though they might have a tuition clause, it is hard to go back and start your degree when you are 24 or 25. Still, if you can cash in, and wash out early, it can be a lot of up front money. So, it depends.

Arkansas has 30-year-old wide receiver on their team
The Arkansas Razorbacks have a veteran player on their football roster. Monte Harrison is entering his sophomore season with Arkansas. He is a 6-foot-3

Why would school be optional
Make it at minimum fully related to what all these players are trying to do, get to the league:
Broadcasting
Public speaking
Money management
Branding
Physical education
Biology
Nutrition
Etc…
Build a pro athlete and adjacent careers education plan that they would enjoy. This is not hard if there was a commitment to balance and the players well-being
