    I don't know. It looked like it was slow motion, so he probably gained some weight.

    Schools have to offer more than just money to keep teams together for more than one season. The fact the players can already leave their teams at will makes the latest NCAA offer of MO more LOI almost a moot point.

    But what this latest off by the NCAA really does is reinforce their useless governing task as THE NCAA, and their lack of power/inability to put limits on transfers to and from teams.

    They ceded their oversight control to teams, and left the conferences without any power to control limited transfers. Why even have the NCAA if they are simply going to abdicate their power and mission?

    The NCAA, simply put, just quit being a governing body... and they committed sports governing suicide as an organization.

    They do nothing, and now they admit it by giving up trying to work for the schools and conferences. Nothing the NCAA says or does matters anymore.

    Now... the SEC Conference must get rid of the BUTT TARGETING RULE that they have implemented. Butt targeting or targeting of any body part OTHER THAN THE HEAD is an insult to the nature of TACKLE FOOTBALL and to tackle football purists.

    They can make whatever rules they want on the field, but the Supreme Court pretty much neutered of them as far as telling kids where they can and can’t go to school and who can pay them money. Supreme Court decisions are based on all of us citizens as a whole, not a bunch of kids who play a game.

    That is all about the NIL and has NOTHING to do with the transfer portal.

    I guess the opinion of guys that know the law is that they would get laughed out of court if they think they can control where they are going to school.

    It was about the name, image and likeness... they never ended amateurism nor said student athletes can be state/university employees. You are familiar with the now en\end Chevron Deference, eight? But even the House of Representatives need to go through the legal process though the court system to change amateurism and the role of student athletes versus professionally paid employees of a state school system/university.

    The NCAA is acting as they always have, and I agree that change is needed to change the system. But the NCAA is basically still in charge of the college rules in sports... for now.

    “ professional paid employees,” there’s the problem. They aren’t employees. They’re more like contractors like me. Nobody can legally tell me who I work for or when. Now if they become employees with contracts, that changes everything.

    Sure, but getting money is the first step to "becoming" an employee.

    If they aren’t legally employed, they aren’t employees. The laws are pretty clear and college football has been skating the edges for decades. Now they have to do business by the laws the rest of us go by.

    Just tell me what you think the end-game here is, and that will save us tons of back and forth posts. You first, but I will say that there is a definite end game/result for what they want college football to look like and become.

    It’s up to the schools to play by the established laws. What’s good for you and I is the laws both sides have to follow. There aren’t special laws for college football . Work is work and they have to figure out how to comply with existing laws. Most things have already been tried in court. Rt now they have boosters giving out millions for fandom. I don’t see that going on longterm. I think the schools will end up paying from their profits but I would guess the big boosters still would pay DJ several million above and beyond the peanuts that the regular guys are paid. It’s going to still be a underground paycheck that pays the elite players and not a whole lot will change for some time.

    This doesn't really have a solution. A player can cramp at any moment. The answer is probably not to make your offense rely mostly on tempo.

    This will get swept under the rug I’m sure but it’s a major problem to me. Shows just how out of control the program really is if HC thinks he can do these types of things it’s no wonder the kids go out and do stupid things.
