Probably on the low side across all sports. The transfer portal is a bigger evil than NIL. Free agency EVERY year is NOT sustainable. Fan interest will eventually totally implode.

Probably is on the low side.

But the Portal is good because it means there’s freedom of movement. If people aren’t interested in staying at a college, then they can go.

You must hate that piss-poor home attendance at Anfield. **

just for fun, I’ll play. Why is this a problem? There are way more adults than that in the job transfer portal.

Because while all Sixpackers love Kraft macaroni and cheese, half the fun isn’t waiting for the next bowl and the finished product doesn’t vary much if Kraft replaces Topher from Delaware with Andy from Iowa

But you don’t have complete free agency every 6 months in the Premier League or any professional sport. You have players on multi-year contracts. A free agent is pretty rare.

Pro sports was sagging and they fixed it with salary caps yet college doesn't have that nor contracts anymore and the geniuses in charge think it's sustainable despite obvious recent history.

Customers in the non sports world don't give a damn. They just want the best for less. If no changes are made to NIL and the portal tons of sports customers are gonna vanish.

Well, the difference between the Premier League and the NCAA is that folks in professional sports are employees and collegians are not so they can go if they’d like.

If you want student-athletes to be just like the pros, you got to employ them and have them sign contracts.

I think if you want to save college sports, that’s exactly what needs to happen.

I agree with you but guess what—

the NCAA and the US House think we’re idots:

College athlete employment bill moves forward

A Congressional committee voted Thursday to move forward with a bill that would prevent college athletes from being deemed employees.

Why do we sell so many lottery tickets in this country? They are told they're gonna strike it rich with the next team and they believe it

We might be right but we don’t have decision making power.

Nope. And honestly, I’m past the point of caring. I haven’t watched any college sports event not involving Mississippi State other than the CFP championship game. And I haven’t missed it at all.

Lucifer’ advocate: Why is this different than the NFL or MLB? If the result is an awesome State team , good! We just won’t know their names or history.

NFL & MLB players can't switch teams every year and due to salary caps, teams with less money can compete for ships thru good management.

They don't have free agency every year in soccer. That only happens at the end of a contract. The standard contract for players under 30 is usually 4 years.

Exactly.

“Five thousand? Where do you see that? Is there a graph or CNN article outlining such a claim? And how do we know they’re all in the portal to transfer, or if they’ll simply shop some NIL money and remain where they are? These claims are ridiculous until all five thousand “transfers” line up for an actual count and slap me on the left cheek with a big meaty dickk as they file past.”

I have significant influence in international collegiate competition, such as November basketball tournaments in the Bahamas

GLFR is off his meds.

He claimed he watched the Sen Cruz video, then said there were no stats/numbers presented, when there were literally stats/numbers presented with charts/graphics.

So you're saying Jeruh isn't good at managing an NFL team?

LMAO. I saw Jerruh on TV say if he had a GM doing as schitty uh job as he's been doing he'd fire him. Breaks my heart to despise the owner / GM of the team I've loved since I was a child and now has Dak. What a tasty Schit Sammich

The bad thing is they are just successful enough, so he doesn't feel he needs to fire himself. I guess we'll have to wait until he dies.

That’s pretty deep

 

[pseudonym]

My continued interest in college sports is basically just trying to enjoy as much as I can before it completely dies.

Looking forward ten years, there is close to zero chance college sports will be better than it was ten years ago.
