The NCAA and its leagues are moving forward with a multibillion-dollar settlement agreement that will allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the history of college sports. https://t.co/XaVgW9306B

Yeah, that transfer rule where they can move around from school to school so easily pretty much killed it for me.
Damn that sucks and this is going to make it worse. [Reply]
If the schools are paying the players directly can they make them sign a non compete to receive their salary? You get to go back to sitting out a year if you want out essentially
Just curious how deep this rabbit hole will go [Reply]
Well, tuition isnt very high for the everyday student so this shouldn't affect prices very much.
If parents were putting their young children under any athletic pressure starting in elementary school already, imagine how things will get now? [Reply]

Well how else are they going to be ready for the pro leagues?

I suppose high school players will start needing agents... [Reply]

I suppose that would be something that could be written into the contract…same as NFL. [Reply]

I disagree. The players should be paid and paid according to their merits. College Football should have a draft and put an end to recruiting and the transfer portal. Parity in CFB would be amazing for the sport! [Reply]

It will go until CFB adopts a system similar to the NFL. The days of certain programs hoarding all of the best talent isn't as good for the industry as opposed to a shared balance of talent.
At one point a couple years ago Ohio State's WR room consisted of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Wjlliams, Jaxon SMJ, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Emeka Egbuka. The first five listed were all 1st round picks and Egbuka is in his final year and a probable first or second round pick.
That's great for Ohio State but not for competitive balance. [Reply]
