Ross with much more details on the revenue sharing.

This is a lot to process but if you think college sports has changed just wait. Won’t be recognizable.

I tried to include all the tweets but there might be some repeats.

105 scholarships will put the final nail in the coffin for Mississippi State as an SEC team soon.

 

[L4Dawg]

As I said when all this started, the ultimate aim is to destroy college sports. I see no reason to change my mind.

The most important thing I saw is the a rev share would be used to buy someone’s NIL rights. That seems like it would cut down on transfers.

A third party to rule in NIL will be worthless. As soon as they rule against a player they will get sued under state law.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

NCAA would have been better off to just dig in their heels on NIL/portal and just continue to fight the lawsuits. Would have at least slowed down the avalanche.

You can’t fight something you are going to lose and cost yourself billions more especially when the SCOTUS is not on your side.

105 will not hurt State. That insures there will be a lot of 4 stars entering the portal every year. These guys will all head to the big schools and learn really fast they are just another fish. they will see school like MSU as a place they will get to play.

It also means AL can do what Bear used to do and that's grab up EVERY top player and some lesser guys we'd normally get. The 105 is going to be really bad until things settle out.

 

[POTUS]

They should be shrinking roster size, not expanding it. The NFL has a 53 man roster plus practice squad. But what the NFL also has is parity and the powers that be don't want that at all.

I disagree. Most of those guys will not see the field. They will get the hell out of dodge once they figure that out. They want to play for Alabama but more than that they want to get on the field. Why do you think guys hit the portal now? Because they want to get on the field. The only change will be with 105 rather than 85 is a greater chance of not getting on the field. They will hit the portal. It will probably change who we get out of high school but the portal will be loaded with talent.

What the Bear did worked in the 1960's when guys could not transfer at will. They had to get permission and sit out a year. That's not the case anymore. They can hook up and leave anytime they want.

 

[mcdawg22]

So they are getting rid of the NLI. Oh boy, recruiting drama is going to go all the way up to August now for football.

 

[Bulldog45]

So when a player opts out after 4 games do they forfeit their scholarship/have to pay it back for that semester? Seems as though they should.

You think we're going to take a hit.. wait til we see what this does to the level of play at G5 schools.

Right! What would the bidding war for Ashton Jeanty look like between the tier 1 schools? He’d make more than he would entering the draft.

 

[aTotal360]

Any of you all have another $8M lying around? Gonna need one of those biannually.

Ya but this isn’t 1980 when you were on TV once or twice per season. There are still on 22 starting spots and these pre madonnas don’t want to go ANYWHERE and sit on the bench. Look at the Oatis situation now.

All of these kids think it is their god given right to play in the NFL and you don’t get seen from the bench, even at Bama or Georgia

The benefit to a Bama with the 105 is it gives them more margin for error. They are fine with the back half leaving but they will have little weakness in the first 50+

The NFL also has in season trading, waivers, free agency.

I’m not disagreeing that 85 should have been reduced. SOME. But you can’t go to the extreme. Expecting a major conference team to carry minimal numbers of offensive or defensive linemen and making thru a 12-15 game season could be dangerous.

Perhaps, but you're going to have to pay a premium for transfer portal players, instead of what a HS player would cost...and they can still transfer again. Also, State hasn't really hasn't burned it up in the portal.

22 starters + 2 back ups at each position is 66. Specialist included no reason to have more than 75 or players on a team.

 

[The Peeper]

I think I will sue my employer now because workers in the future in my position are going to be making more than I do now and that's not fair. I'm also going to sue for back wages because I should have been making more in the past than I have been, even though I agreed to make that amount when I was hired. I want what I deserve or I'm going to open up my recruitment and demand it from somebody else. Please respect my decision

These are anti-trust issues so it’s not analogous

Exactly! Oatis is a perfect example of that. I’ve said all along paying players with no transfer portal would be a nightmare for smaller schools. I always go back to that Bama team that had Najee and Damien Harris, Bo Scarborough, and Josh Jacobs. With the portal, one or two of those guys would have probably transferred out.

 

[Seinfeld]

There's plenty to hate about the current state of college athletics, but for those hoping that we eventually get to a point of having actual structure behind all the madness, this seems like a positive step towards that.

For one, there will now be an actual spending cap for those that choose to opt in to this payment plan, and part of the deal here is that it will require schools that opt in to regularly submit their payrolls. Compared to what we have today with the complete lack of transparency surrounding NIL, I think that this is big.

Second, there will be plenty of jokes about this new enforcement arm and rightfully so, but I'm glad to see that future true NIL deals outside of the revenue sharing plan will at least now have some form of 3rd party review/approval.

Of course, there's always a flip side, and this one especially caught my eye. What could possibly go wrong here?
