Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

yeah and I'd rather live in a $100 million ocean-front mansion on Palm Beach island, drive a $3.5 million Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, and be married to Adriana Lima.

Let's both wish in one hand, shit in the other- and see what happens first.

Rather than turning D1 into D3, why not simply watch D3 since it already exists?

I don't mind NIL. Players ought to be able to trade on THEIR name, image, and likeness if the schools aren't going to pay them diddly squat. And don't give me the whole "free education!" crap- most of these guys are in bs classes earning degrees that are literally useless in the real world- and that's if they even stick around long enough to earn their degrees. And the amount of money they generate for their schools FAR EXCEEDS their dorm room costs and tuition that is being paid for by their scholarships. Especially if they are an elite player like a Charles Woodson or Tim Tebow. Michigan still making money off Woodson and he hasn't played there in over 20 years. Florida still making money off Tebow and he hasn't played there in 10+ years. The athletic departments at the helmet schools make HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from football players. Michigan football is raking in $125 million a year in revenue every single year. That means every 4 years a player is there he is helping generate more than HALF A BILLION dollars in revenue. These guys are entitled to WAY more than the few scraps they get.

My problem is the portal. Makes it impossible to keep a team together- have to re-recruit your own players and try to keep 18 year old prima donnas with egos the size of the state of Texas happy just because they aren't starting as true freshman.

Also, since there are only about 1,800 NFL players in a given year, there are already FAR more engineers in the world, than NFL players.

And look at the mess we're in,so now we know the culprits

There are way more lawyers.  I blame them.
