Change is coming any day now. You can bet your ass when it starts hampering Alabama, the SEC will put a stop to it.

[Barton Fink]

Damn right

[Pig Benis]

I was apathetic. Now I'm ready for it to all burn to the ground.

[Guardrail]

Alabama big mad cause they can't stock up and hold on to all those 5 stars.

[animal]

Yep and it used to be that so few schools like Alabama could play players and get away with it...now everybody doing it.

[Barton Fink]

So JUCO players eligibility doesn't start till they go to a D1 school. Not sure how I feel about this.

How does the academic side factor into this? They would still get a scholarship for four more years of school after two at juco?

I realize the academic side is already a joke, but given the current window-dressing how would it work?

[Texzilla]

So 2 years juco and 4 in college not counting redshirts.  We will have 30 year olds playing CFB before long.  Fucked up

[Barton Fink]

Goid question. I'd assume it would pay for grad school if a player graduates? If so and you're smart, it's a way to get a free under grad and grad school education.

Ole Miss gets another one.  Pretty fucking amazing.

[Barton Fink]

[BleedinRed]

Good for Ole Miss.  they have decided to take full advantage of the broken system.   I hope they further break it so real change happens.  

[animal]

If Ole Miss wins a natty next season this system will get fixed quickly I figure. And it's entirely possible we'll have an "off-brand" school win it this season but probably not.

I wonder if Luis Vuitton is an actual donor for Ole Miss now.

[DirkPiggler]

Alabama big mad cause everyone else can pay players now and it's legal.

Edited for their true feelings.

Knowing that state it's probably going to come out pretty soon that they're funneling state welfare dollars into Ole Miss NIL.

Along those lines, part of the State of Louisiana's $10MM settlement with JUUL over vape products is being used for $200K+ payments to LSU football players on the dangers of vaping.

And how many of those 17 to 23 year old kids earning more money than they know what to do with will be worth a damn by the time they hit 30? Peaking too early with life changing money can really fuck up a lot of these kids. Also the sharks gotta be swarming getting these kids to invest in this and that...entire family members with their hands out. I mean that's a lot of pressure to put on a emotionally immature kid.

This is what's going to be sad.  A highly recruited kid out of high school is going to get millions to play in college.  He won't pan out and will have blown all his money by the time his playing days are over (22-23 years old).  He will be broke for the rest of his life.  He will end up selling shoes like Al Bundy.

Or, players will make 6 figures in college and aren't good enough to go to the NFL.  Even if they manage their money decently, they will make substantially less money after college than while they are in college.  It's a completely broken system. 

[vegashog]

because these guys can make some good money while in college, it means they are bound to fail in anything after football if they make the nfl or not?

now all of a sudden we are so concerned about these young men's future? laughable. where was all this worry before nil?

They aren't "bound to fail", but how many former NFL players are completely broke?  Why make the situation worse by giving out millions with no rules around it?

That's funny,sad, and sucks we are not doing the same thing.
