OT: General CFB Thread

Interesting rule change approved yesterday;

If the ball gets spotted & then medical staff comes onto the field to attend to an injury, the team gets charged a TO.

Clearly needed, imo, to combat faking injuries.
Teams will just have preplanned fake injuries so they can get the med team on the field quicker.
 
The taxes would be paid in the state they were earned wouldn’t they?

Yes, thereby denying Arkansas citizenry some income tax revenue the state would have otherwise received - primarily from football/basketball athletes recruited to UA from other states. I'm agreeing with your "slap in the face" post and adding to it the idea that most of the nil recipients (the higher earners, anyway) will be from other states.
 
I'm glad I've hit an age where OSU football is not the top of my hobbies list. It was already monumentally difficult to compete with the bluebloods but there was always the possibility of an OSU 2011 or TCU 2022 type year. That will never happen again. I don't think a Big 12 team will ever make it past the final four in the CFP and even that will be exceedingly rare and might even never happen.

If a Big 12 does make it that far they will lose all their key players in the portal at the end of the season. Or if you look at it differently the triple A playeres will be called up to the big show.

There will come a time when there is a salary cap in place, it will be soon. Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, etc…. are not going to let the whorns, gaggies, and tortilla flingers mess everything up with their trust fund.

I’m sure the college model will look a lot like the NFL. Not sure Alabama, Georgia or Ohio State are worried about money wars.

I think the real question is going to be what number of schools are involved and what financial structure gets implemented, and if there’s transparency in schools following the rules.

You just had a former ACC commissioner speaking to the CFP group talking about the structure, etc… & he made a specific point to say. ‘If schools abide by the rules.’
Call me a cynic, but decades of history indicate that just trusting the schools ain’t gonna work.🥴

And you need a strong governing body.
