Death of College Football and Amateurism

Mid 2030's seem like an eternity these days but that makes sense due to the existing TV contracts. Just wait and see how long the new B1G TV contract is going to be followed by the P12.

I think this could hurt college sports in general due to the uncertain future of college athletics in general in this country as long as Congress does not do anything to address the NIL issues that are potentially affecting competitive balance in college athletics.

This is a great time for professional soccer to make inroads in the USA.

Sure, I think everyone knew that some players would get NIL deals. The fact that high school recruits are getting these deals before playing a down, they really aren’t NIL deals as opposed to just straight up paying players, the magnitude of the payments, and the speed at which these changes have occurred is a bit surprising. Not shocking, but somewhat surprising.

Now there is nowhere to hide from the fact that universities are running a semi-pro football league off their campuses. And I think that’s a good thing. Burn it down to fix it.

Are you actually being serious that you didn’t think this would go immediately to plaid? If so, maybe I should start a soothsayer business, because that’s ALL I expected it to do.

I’m one of the people that thought it would be a disaster for college football (as it was previously constructed before NIL). I am a bit surprised at the speed of it. I’m surprised that the boosters have dispensed with any pretense of NIL. Facades have always been a staple of college football. Nobody is even bothering to pretend.
