Rumor

[Dawgbite]

Played golf in a charity event last week. Teams consisted of three shmucks such as myself and one celebrity type. Celebrities were mostly former football players and coaches with a few country music people mixed in. Guy on our team was a former SEC player, NFL player, and CBS college sports analyst. Over a few holes he talked about college sports post NCAA. He said that the post NCAA college sports landscape is already decided and negotiated. The change will come in 2026, he didn’t specify if it was for the 2026 season or after the 2026 season. 63 teams will break off from the NCAA in football and men’s basketball and form a new league/ association and participate in revenue sharing of the upcoming TV rights for this new group. He mentioned 3 billion dollars and each player receiving $50,000 per season. No change to the transfer portal. School NIL collectives would cease to exist and individual players and or their agents would be free to negotiate NIL deals. Baseball and the other sports would not be part of revenue sharing and would be up to each university as how and how much to support. The non revenue sharing sports would still be governed by the NCAA. The NCAA would keep the Men’s basketball tournament broadcast rights but have no control over the regular season. He said that everything is already negotiated and decided and theres just a few legal hurdles to overcome with different conferences media rights. I wasn’t in the cart with the guy so I just got the parts of the conversation when the four of us were together and the conversation eventually shifted to other things. No idea if any of what he said was true but interesting nonetheless so I thought that I would share. I wish that I’d asked more questions.

So you're saying you played with Kevin Carter without saying you played with Kevin Carter?

 

[Mississippi State00]

wow thats not really going to change anything

 

[GloryDawg]

I had a former player and NFL guy tell me the same thing six months ago. You all would know him.

Reads like some Reddit copy pasta clickbait.

"63 teams will break off from the NCAA ..."

That's an oddly specific number.

Power 4 minus 4 teams. Clearly, Mississippi State is one of the four left out!*

 

[Xenomorph]

What is the mechanism that will cause school collectives to cease to exist?

Is the Supreme Court on the verge of reversing their decision?

 

[TheBannerM]

Seriously though, I would feel pretty good at State's chances of making the cut if the number is that big. All the the BigTen/SEC teams would be included.

Yeah. This is bullshart. Also how would the NCAA retain control of the basketball tournament if the biggest 63 schools aren’t even in the NCAA. There won’t be a split with the NCAA. There very well could & probably be a split within NCAA with about 70 or so schools being the new Division I-A. But I doubt “it’s all been decided” at this point.

 

[NewTweederEndzoneDance]

I understood that the House settlement would require revenue sharing in all sports, so the only way to do what is being described is to eliminate football and men's basketball as collegiate sports and form new leagues for those sports, using the schools to "host" the teams. Doing that will open the door for collective bargaining in this 2 sports, though, so good luck with the "each player gets $50k" thing.

 

[Dawgbite]

It all sounded a little far fetched to me too but the guy wasn’t speculating he was stating it as if it was fact. He said multiple times that everything was already decided and they were just waiting to announce it. The guy that I was playing with knew who this guy was but I honestly had to google him.

CBA
eliminate unlimited transfers
limit rosters to about 65 to 75

Problem mostly solved and lots more parity created.

Now I can't get the image of a former NFL player googling Dawgbite in return out of my head. After all the pit bull articles, he switches course to look up your lemon on a bucket polo shirt for more info.

So we're #1 then. Sweet.

 

[StateCollege]

If this person is casually, openly discussing this at a golf tournament - and these major negotiations had already taken place - then there's no way media wouldn't have reported this yet.

Exactly. People that really know these things don't just run around blabbing everything to pretty much complete strangers.

You mean to tell me that the people that claim to be the most in the know aren't really? I'll stop listening to C34 now.***

Just throwing the G4 conferences a bone. That 1 at-large bid to every tournament should keep them happy.**

preposterous

I never claimed any of it to be true, I’m just repeating what was said. But if any of this comes to fruition, I’ll become unbearable around here for a while. Besides there’s no way this guy was ever a stripper.

 

[GloryDawg]

If all 63 schools agree that no school will pay more than 50K then there is nothing that can be done. The court said that the NCAA could not keep people from making money on their NIL, but the court did not say you had to let them play football for your school. I think they are at a tipping point, and they all know it has to be fix one way or another.

 

[Bulldawg77]

We will not be left out. We really need to stop thinking we are poor

 

[615dawg]

If the number is 63, we are most likely in.

My worry, documented very well on here, is that the number will be 24 or 32.

 

[Anon1669338224]

Why are the people behind this **** considered so bright? It’s the biggest ******** clusterfuck I’ve seen any one group of people make something. Good Lord I don’t spend money on the **** anymore and never will again.

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

How would you have a 68 team basketball tournament with 63 teams?

Agreed. That's why the NCAA is irrelevant. They had the chance to get everyone on the same page, that's what their there for, and messed everything up. Hopefully now they'll pay the price, all the power 4 schools band together and form their own league and rules. Players that don't want to join, well it would be like joining the UFL. If you don't want MSU in the major conference even if you think we'd be a door mat, look at southern, that would be our future. We finally have an AD tapping into our resources getting money and people are opening their eyes realizing we have a lot more money that's been fed by the people in the know wanting to hold onto power.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

We are #64.

Nah, IF IF IF this came to fruition, they would at least include all the SEC and BIG 10 teams. The SEC rules the roost and I seriously doubt they will allow the conference to start breaking apart. WE are not a big boy in the SEC, but compared to the mid to lower tear schools in other big conferences, we are solidly in the middle. People forget that.

 

[leeinator]

Agree. MSU and Vandy won't be left out. Somebody has to be in the conference to provide wins for the Big Boyz's worksheets.

Well it’s an odd number, for sure

 

[Bulldog45]

How would you have a 68 team basketball tournament with 63 teams?

Go back to a 64 team one but have a tournament before the tournament to determine who gets the 64th spot from outside the group of 63. Everything is made for tv these days.

I remember my sex change, I went from a “Yes” to a ”No”. I seem to recall there being some kind of certificate and a minister was involved somehow.

Five under as a group. Everyone played from the back tees and the course was way long for my game and two of the other guys as well. Luckily one of the guys was younger and could absolutely hammer a driver. Hit it pretty straight too. He gave the rest of us a chance.
