On a talk show this morning they mentioned that some of these schools fans will be disappointed in their new coaching hires. And a novel twist suggested some schools which h mandated ave the large buyouts would be better served keeping that coach and directing that money to buying a better roster the next few seasons
Between the SCORE act pending in congress (and why is it pending???) along with the morphing of the NCAA into something else impossible to describe, it will probably be until 2029 or 2030 until CFB renumeration is settled. With the current chaos in CFB, it will take a blow to TV ratings for ESPN to make real changes immediately. ESPN's influence & domination in CFB and their watering down of the sport need a state/federal backslap. ESPN, NCAA, college and university people need to be called into congress for hearings
# 1 Make the college football players employees at will if they are to receive annual income that is often tax shielded.
# 2 Create a federally mandated NIL cap to even the play field.
# 3 Streamline NIL and football budgets into ONE bank account.
The above, using buyout money for NIL, would allow institutions to avoid the false non transferring of funds in university budgets from buyouts to NIL. Some people here have valiantly attempted to define how NIL works. The facts are CFB currently should be hoping for the wild west because the rules of the wild west would be more orderly than current transfer portal and NIL rules. If you can name how NIL rules are please go for it.
One of my biggest peeves with the current state of CFB is that Teams are contacting players across the country and essentially tampering with other teams' rosters. TCU for instance had Randon Fontenette, safety, Jamel Johnson, safety and Damonic Williams DT constantly contacted by Vanderbilt, SMU and OU agents. Thankfully, we retained Jamel Johnson. OU and Vanderbilt were violating and breaking interstate commerce regs. OU and Vandy broke the law and should be given the death penalty for their gross indiscretions. Giving teams the death penalty would simply be a slap on the hand in my view.
TCU and others invest 1000s of hours and dollars into recruiting and developing players. NC State should not have to be subjected to gaining their legs last night because TAMU meddled, cheated and tampered with their roster and robbed them of their best player KC Concepcion.
