Ahead of their time. Visionaries.almost as dumb as some alums continuing to say scheiss you to the ncaa and cheat while they were on probation?

Isn‘t that what elementary school is for?some kids need to learn more basic life skills vs. forcing them into a degree program.

You joke, but the simple fact is that there are some TCU scholarship athletes right now who are barely literate. It’s a tragedy how much the system has failed them, and used them and their skill for financial gain without also helping them develop the necessary life skills.Isn‘t that what elementary school is for?
Decisions are being made everyday with little thought of long term. You have heard many times...I want it now..... I deserve it now... Decisions are based on that thought as we speak. So we have a society riding in those bumper electric cars you see at circuses. Two days ago I saw a program with a highly regarded x ceo saying...it will never be same again. ..everIt’s shocking to me that the NCAA was dumb enough to throw open the doors of the transfer portal and NIL with no foresight or guidelines whatsoever. Actually, it’s not shocking at all.
What about when title IX rears it’s ugly head? Doesn’t seem fair to pay the male college football players that much when the female NIL deals are so much lower. Seems like the ace on the women’s softball team should be making a cool $2M.He's right, except about the part where things settle down. That isn't going to happen.
The cost of a top-tier D1 football roster now/in the near future is going to be roughly $10-20 million a year, basketball will be $5-10 million, baseball in the several million range (with a WAY higher variance between SEC and, for instance, AAC).
Overall, you will see top-tier athletics programs paying athletes ~$30 million-plus a year, easy... And yes, in time, the universities are going to take this back from the alums, schools are already tired of the current system. The university IS a collective, in its own way, and you will just be asked to contribute annually to, for instance, the TCU Frog Club, to help fund these player-specific investments.
I get what you are saying but I contend that it’s euphemistic to say “the system has failed them”. Systems are built and sustained by people. People failed them. Teachers, administrators, parents, and coaches failed them and they failed themselves.You joke, but the simple fact is that there are some TCU scholarship athletes right now who are barely literate.

Agree, but you left out politicians in office that created many of the messed up laws.I get what you are saying but I contend that it’s euphemistic to say “the system has failed them”.

Always need to accept change. Only all change now is not in a good direction. Like you mention, it is all about me and now.Decisions are being made everyday with little thought of long term.

Starting to sound a lot like minor leagues for a bunch of places I don't care about
I guessed two. I rather hope you are right.I give it about 4 more years until I peace out on college football. By 2030 I'll be out on college sports altogether. I'll be 51 and it will add 10 years to my life.
What a mess.
