Alabama to Ohio State

Yeah, because they never benefitted monetarily or were given preferential treatment to the average student paying full tuition prior to NIL.
Gimme a break.
LOL, I think they are ok currently, it's the wild wild west out there, until a strict guideline of do's and don'ts are implemented it's all fair game.
I don't disagree if your point is about CJF's ceiling, but the Huskies got smashed by Michigan and OSU would have also beaten them.
Yeah, so now they have a shot at beating TTUN. It is amazing hwo quickly they used the Aggie AD to open up the pocket books to lure them in. Just a few weeks ago prior to the arrival, the Buckeye Podcasts were lamenting the fact that OSU was virtuously requiring kids to earn the NIL after arrival. Once they hired the Aggie, that all changed quickly. So what does that mean for us the greatest program in the history of the NCAA...we have no more than 2 years to adapt, affect change, or become Iowa. My heart is broken
Ever the optimist, I can only hope that they meet the Aggie destiny, falling short of donor expectations and hiring Duke coaches. it is absolutely in the range of outcomes for the Buckeyes to lose a game, one game, and stroke out the alumni base. Stay strong Lions fans, they suffer from failure fragility like no other fan base in America.
and we heard it most recently from Pryor himself who thought State College was "too country"
At some point even little weenie energy will begin to question if all this money is worth the loyalty, the cost of tickets and over inflated sense of importance. Just like emails, the Millenials may yet prove valuable in American culture and put college football in its proper station in life“They got us started, but it needs to get bigger and better fast. And that’s what we’ve got to do moving forward”
We’ve got a winner! Most Depressing non-JVP Thread in McAndrew Board history.
I wouldn't say they got smashed, definitely a different gm if there RB was healthy and not sure I agree about OSU, MIzzu smacked them around, all that 5 star talent need to have a better showing than that.
Given my age, marital status, and ability to get women under 50 to smile at me, I occasionally find the Midnighter polls depressing.
NittanyBuff with the win, the evidence is starting to say that they can't win with all that so-called talent. If they don't win next year then the jury is in. But on the bright side, their O-line talent is way down from expectations, and they don't have a Garret Wilson or MHJ yet to win the game for them. So they will need their D to carry them.
Um, you are forgetting the current MLS champion Columbus Crew. Given that some of their players are making millions per year, it's a fully professional sport. You may not like soccer. And it's not the EPL. But it is getting bigger every year.
Columbus is the 14th or 15th largest city in the country.
No "strict guidelines" are necessary, just common sense. Expecting a university to exercise common sense is probably asking too much.
I was once of the mindset that this was completely over the top for what amounts to college sports. But after thinking it over, I am now OK with it. At least football is a revenue sport and has the ability to move revenue upward with increased results on the field. Cael does it in wrestling and that's a completely revenue neutral or revenue loss sport at best yet we all benefit from him and Ira using NLI and the benefits of the NLWC to attract transfers. So you either embrace it all or not at all
2 million people in Columbus metro, and signifcant population growth in the projections. Lots of people buying cars, lots of car dealerships!
In a 30minute drive around campus, Ohio State has over 6x more people than Penn State. More people, more businesses, more revenue, and a lot more millionaires willing to cough up some money to the NIL collective or to have the local sport heroes in their business's commercials.
In addition, Les Wexner and the Schottenstein and Ratner families are major benefactors. The Schottensteins, in particular, actively solicit their network.

Fans already support everything by buying tickets, going to games, buying merchandise, donating to the school, and watching games on streaming/cable. A coach making millions of dollars a year needs to STFU about fans supporting NIL too.
The worst thing about this idea that fans are now on the hook for NIL means coaches, like Franklin, can blame them when recruiting classes aren't up to snuff (and for losses, etc.).

College football for sure. Basketball has always been awful. This board is a microcosm (though not fully representative) of a certain PSU fan and you can see interest in the team/sport dying in real time; no one comments when we get a new verbal and why should they? Good chance that player never finishes his career at Penn State.
but but but he wants you to buy his favorite 18 year old stud linebacker a new Lexus.
