    Google is your friend. It will be the first thing that pops up. . . and will seem rather obvious in retrospect.

    If you think so. This will actually be the one thing we always disagreed on, an NFL minor league, but with our logo on the side (and them still not footing the bill). That, the team colors and the stadium will be the only things that remain the same.

    Yep, I just believe they’re doing aboveboard what they’ve been doing all along. There’s no NFL affiliation today or yesterday. It’s always been the minor leagues for the NFL though.

    Good for the athletes. Jealous pocket watchers are gonna be punching the air about this.

    Do you believe everything you read on Google? I have a very difficult time believing a long-term football fan could just replace it with soccer — so I decided to ask this forum if there was a meaning behind that acronym that made more sense

    I had to look it up also. I have never watched a premier league game in my life.

    If that happens then get rid of "We are the Boys of Old Florida", "It's great to be a Florida Gator", "Mr. Two Bits cheer, etc. because they will be meaningless.

    If history has proven anything, that 20 mill limit will not be followed. The system operators will find all kind of ways to bend or break the rules to get what they want, and there is no real way to police it.

    Don’t really have to bend and break rules, you can just let the collectives take over the bigger deals. This isn’t getting rid of NIL. The extra money will still be around.

    I assume that all the revenue that the football program provides to the non revenue producing sports is going to be redirected back to the Football program for recruiting?
    If this is true, that would literally end a number of sports programs at colleges.

    It’s always been about the crowd and fans to me as far as the experience.
