All true, but it's better than nothing and what would happen if the Federal government legislates it.

The problem with non-competes is each school would have their own. A collective bargaining agreement would make everything universal. I think at this point the universities would welcome a collective bargaining agreement because it will allow them to focus on other things.

Thanks for the article. I think that in order to have enforceable contracts with so many people, a collective bargaining agreement is necessary.

Has NIL and the transfer portal broken the monopoly in college football? Watching the playoffs and seeing OSU, Georgia and Alabama get removed from it by teams that 10 years ago were not in their same league makes me happy on some level. I was wrong about the rich getting richer in the NIL era in that there seems to be a limit as to how much you can buy. I was not wrong about the freedom of movement the TP offers leveling the playing field, I just didn't see what a huge influence it is. Players want to play because showcasing talent gets the biggest bag of all which is NFL money. Transferring is the best way to get on the field for high level talent. In the past, a team like Mississippi had close to the level of talent on their starting 22. Where they got destroyed was when they had to dip into their bench against an Alabama and there was a big drop off in talent. Before NIL, Alabama dipped into their bench on a miserably hot early September day in Tuscaloosa and pulled up another future NFL player. Today, that guy is playing on the starting team for their opponent.

Not nearly the loss now Seattle Seahawk Kenneth Walker III was a few years ago. They recovered that.

Miami's arena has all the energy of a mausoleum. It's a tough place to win when they are good. This is the kind of outcome that makes potential MAC Tournament rematches interesting.and fun for fans.

Divide that by two one more time. If we need four , why can't we just pair up the champion of each P4 conference? BTW, was anyone able to watch all three hours of GameDay yesterday? I turned it on with an hour and a half to go and the dumbbells on the show were trying to guess the weight of dumbbells. I turned it off knowing the last 90 minutes were only going to get worse.

They need to get off to a fast start. Mark my words, the Wake Forest game is winnable.

ESPN tells us the CFP is the greatest thing ever. I have a question. If it's so great, how come there are so many empty seats at the Orange Bowl?

Good programs make consistently good hires.

I'd settle for a 7 win season and a trip to a bowl.

What if we didn't have any designations at all?

The coach at OU was in the wrong. It's not ok to have sex with a student. But then again, what if the student is 42 years old going part time?

Indeed. I don't put much stock in bowl games but I will say the MAC isn't as bad as some think. There isn't much difference between a mid level ACC school and a top level MAC program. If not for the financial need of suicidal schedules, most records would be much better.

Good. They pay down a third of their debt, students get renovated dorm rooms, University gets a reduction in maintenance costs and improved dorms contribute to a better student experience.
