These kids are making bank and many can retire after they fake going to college. Wild. I guess it was always sort of rooting for laundry, but now it is 100% that. Yeah, yeah, get off my lawn

$4 million at 22 years old and a good CPA/financial advisor and one could live a very comfortable middle class life. Travel, hunt, golf, etc. As long as you didn't get too extravagant
Shit there are savings accounts doing 4.7% now.
And good on them for getting whatever they get. Their abilities fill stadiums with 70-100k people, risking permanent and life-altering injuries, and they have long deserved their piece of the pie.

@Fan_of_Fanboys will watch) but this is good info.

It sucks now doesn’t it. The days of seeing players come in as Freshmen, redshirt, and develop over 4-5 years are over. No teams are turning over 40 new players on a roster every year. You don’t even know who’s on the team until Spring ball and have no clue how they’re going to perform.
UofL has lost a ton to the portal already. Rumors swirling that Miller Moss is going to sign with us, but I don’t know how I feel about him either. He looked great at times, but don’t feel like he’s going to be what everyone is expecting.
Damn straight. After taxes, that’s about $2.5 million. Put that in a fund that does 6% and just draw the annual gains out of it for a smooth $150k/yr.
He's been drinking again. Es normal.
My wife and I are currently in Texas wine country so I have no room to talk. My wife kept looking at me yesterday like, "You're supposed to sip and savor the wine " Woman I don't like the flavor of most of this and I don't want to be rude. Down the hatch!
So apparently Marshall is forced to withdraw from their bowl game because of the number of players they lost in the transfer portal?
This is genuine insanity. The fact college football has almost no structure is unreal.

From my understanding this is a symptom of the school treating the HC like dirt. He was in a lame duck contract year and won the conference. They did nothing to attempt to retain him when offered the new job. Players sided with their HC.
This is a symptom of the transfer process having no framework whatsoever. Countless coaches have left programs before bowl games, and schools weren’t forced to withdraw from the bowls as a result. If players want to bitch and moan when a coach leaves, that’s fine, but put process barriers in place that allow players the freedom to exit while also providing at least a modicum of protection for the schools.
It’s a progression of other issues we’ve already seen due to the fact college football rosters are now held together with floss. When Deboer left UW, the roster consequences were catastrophic. They went from the Natty to not being able to fill out a roster in a matter of weeks. Such flimsy processes are absurd, and no serious business (which cfb undoubtedly is) would tolerate such wild instability.
This is not a sustainable model. You can’t have entire programs being put at risk because of decisions made on a whim. Schools and their supportive entities pour all kinds of resources into making these programs grow, and there are currently no supportive guidelines in place protecting the general landscape.
The reality is the powers at be in college football couldn’t care less about the well-being of the game as a whole. It’s club of greedy fucks with no goal or vision other than stuffing their pockets. They think if roster vulnerability is only a risk for standard programs, and not the the bluest of blue-bloods, “fuck em,” they don’t fatten our wallets anyway.

I'm not sure entirely how you fix it but what you said is 100% accurate. I still believe contracts with some sort of buyout is the only reasonable option bc the NCAA is fucked now when it comes to transfer portal and what not. Its mostly their own doing but it's here to stay while they're still "in charge".
Contracts are the only way to solve it. Like every other business in this sphere (sports/entertainment, etc).
But the NCAA are such stodgy old fucks, getting them to adapt to not having their sweet racket is like pulling teeth. And the fact that they are not unified in any way, and all scrabbling for the biggest piece of the pie, and you get what you get.

Unfortunately they waited too long to react. If they would've done something 20 years ago (10 at a minimum) something might have been accomplished but they waited until the rulings came down.
Unfortunately the universities didn't help them bc all the "profits" (to an extent) we're going to other sports. My pops was an instrumental part during that time and even he had the mindset... "We don't have money to pay the money making guys anything bc of title 9." Now looking back on it even he admits it was stupid. They should've separated football at a minimum.
Like Kris said it was greed. Greed killed it all. I hope it's not dead but it sure feels like the sport we all loved is gone.

Just lost the Heisman. Damn Travis Hunter and his being good at 2 positions. I guess it’s better to be good at 2 positions then great at 1.
