We played the Barbarians. a home and home series.(May I say that it is heart warming to be a part of all of our Posters)When @beaced played he wore XCVI
The NCAA one free transfer rule above has been in effect for the past year. Hopefully the NCAA won't decide to relax the rules even more anytime soon, to make it easier for athletes to transfer more than once.I think the NCAA was talking about a change in the transfer rule. You'll get one free transfer without sitting out, and if you transfer again, you sit one year.
Based on the coaches pay, its pro ball.True. But don't forget to include Fan Loyalty into the equation. IF this is a semi-pro free for all then treating these players as just some sweet ol college kids who are immune to criticism isn't going to fly.
I'm sure sometime soon there will be a player who plays for 4 different schools over 4 years. I just wish there were some guardrails in the system. That includes coaches too.
ahhh.. The Golden Rule.. He who has the gold makes the rules.They'll look to regulate it when teams outside of the Blueblood bubble start winning championships.
and college education, room, board, high-level health care, training, facilities.. worth zero?Based on the coaches pay, its pro ball.
Tell That to the schools that are making money from all the TV contracts. Donāt put the games on TV and youāll get the amateur status back.and college education, room, board, high-level health care, training, facilities.. worth zero?
those that can go straight to the NBA often do... they are getting trained to maybe make a big payday. And any of them can take the same path the highly-paid coaches did to become highly-paid coaches.
We do not need to pay college athletes. Let them all go start their own professional leagues if it is money they seek., Allow colleges to continue to compete using amateur athletes and all will be fine.
If I recall correctly, the evidence they had against Shapiro and Miami was substantive but they screwed up the manner in which it was gathered and processed and thus could not use most of it to enforce a penalty. Incompetence at the highest levels. Besides the NCAA is just a puppet of the major schools who chose to stay under its umbrella. Several have hinted of going off on their own if things became too stringent. This will likely still happen at some point.When did the NCAA "has no bite" or care to enforce rules really begin?
Might be a topic for a different thread.
I'm younger and didn't really follow college sports until attending Rutgers.
I know the SMU thing in the 80s. Was that just "too big to ignore"?
But then they did nothing with Miami and everything going on there and just spiraled further.

That is an insane take. Atheltic programs (all sports) takes money as to facilities. That money comes from TV for football and basketball but is spent everywhere. Most schools LOSE MONEY on sports.. you can say they make millions.. but they SPEND those millions and more.Tell That to the schools that are making money from all the TV contracts.

we are in the B1G. A lot of schools can say we are part of the Rich. Itās all relative.That is an insane take. Atheltic programs (all sports) takes money as to facilities.

NIL and paying athletes will kill the golden goose that allows so many young people to attend college on scholarship while also pursuing their athletic interests.
As someone else said.. the rich will get richer.. and that is because they make the rules.
Part of reason that the NCAA landed all over SMU was that they were stealing elite recruits from the bluebloods, and the bluebloods complained to the NCAA about it. After they gave SMU the Death Penalty and effectively destroyed the program for about 2 decades, the NCAA was reluctant to really punish anyone else that severely.When did the NCAA "has no bite" or care to enforce rules really begin?

but we are not.. it costs more than we have to compete in the B1G. We don't have a lot of extra dollars to pay for new "entitlements".we are in the B1G. A lot of schools can say we are part of the Rich. Itās all relative.
Sure, at times we will. And at times we will benefit.My fear is Rutgers will, at times, suffer a similar fate.

The transfer portal has revealed tampering? That's the big issue here?Agree. The transfer portal has revealed the underbelly of college sports. The evil that lives just below the surface is now public. You can't call it tampering because NCAA has no bite or the will to face the problem.
If you are a prized destination school like Ohio State or Alabama, why even bother giving out 20 scholarships to freshman? Just wait for other schools to develop players and then transfer them in as Jrs and Srs. You could have an entire roster of 20+ year olds, like a semi-pro team. Honestly, what's stopping that?I just read two articles about Brenden Rice, son of Jerry Rice, and how he transferred from Colorado to USC. First, there is no such thing as loyalty anymore. The transfer portal will destroy football for some programs. Basically, Rice put his name in the portal to see who would contact him. If he didn't like what he heard, then it's back to CU. Once Lincoln Riley contacted Rice, 15 minutes after he entered the portal, Rice made the decision to transfer. The original school never had a chance. My fear is Rutgers will, at times, suffer a similar fate.

I'm thinking Saban would rather develop the players in his program, rather having that player develop elsewhere.If you are a prized destination school like Ohio State or Alabama, why even bother giving out 20 scholarships to freshman?

Or if a true frosh rolls into Rutgers and tears it up why wouldn't Texas throw him 100g or more to transferYes we will be affected. If a kid doesnāt think heās playing enough, into the portal he goes.
Iād agree to the point that the NCAA did not realize the impact of the SMU actions.The NCAA would go after schools with more vigor back in the day. The NCAA now regrets what it did to the SMU program as it has never recovered from the death penalty.
I disagree that is a reason for the less vigor. Iād say it has more to do with what specific schools were going to be investigated.That is why the NCAA has a gentle approach these days.
To keep it simple, they werenāt based on infractions of NCAA rules, and letās just say who knows what would have been exposed in a lawsuit that wasnāt going their way.How else do you explain how the NCAA walked back Penn State's punishment?
