There will be fewer than 10 schools dominating in all sports within the next few years. Bout as well piss on the fire, fold the tents and boot scoot back home. College sports is over as we knew it.
Um… the same way you do in professional and minor league sports? This isn’t a new concept dawg

Will you continue to attend if this is how things are arranged?
I'm probably done attending games in person. The television at home/bar experience became preferable when 65"+ TVs became common.
Gameday experience sucks now. At least I can mute the commercials and grab another drink

Major college football will be 20-35 teams that can pay. They already have an annual spend cap per the agreement.
Football players will transition to employees to get around Title IX, which as far as I can tell doesn't address direct payment anyway.
It'll all sort out and we'll be watching minor league football with a school's mascot attached.
Fans will lose interest and the whole thing will implode and the NFL will migrate it all to a real minor league (which ironically would have fixed all these problems decades ago)

Coaches may have to take a pay cut. LOL

As bad as this looks it's still better than the current state of things. College football is a trainwreck right now.
Oh it’ll be far worse. Unwatchable for most people.

So basically a super conference is about to form made up of only schools that can pay their players

It will eventually but in the mean time it'll be nice having a few kids stay more than one year

*allow schools to legally pay players

Well. Only a matter of time before college sports are dead now.

Amazing how the general structure of college sports was just fine for over a CENTURY and all of a sudden 3 years ago the entire system has to be blown up.

So if the schools have to share their revenue with the players in football and basketball, do all the other sports athletes have to share the schools losses? Hey Buffy, we’re going to need a check for $6k for our field hockey losses.

Why would the NFL want to put its hands on this mess? They already have a free “minor league” system as it is.

They won't until there's nothing left but scraps. They and the schools set themselves up for a mutually beneficial system wherein everybody gets rich off the players' backs.
They thought it would last forever and it's falling apart now.
Any idiot could have seen all of this coming but when people's wallets get fat they start thinking with the arse that sits on them. This could have been fixed decades ago but greed got in the way.

Haha, where has that gotten 8&4 so far?

It wasn't fine. It was a house of cards.

Oh, they’ll still get their product with these kids after 3-4 years. CFB will never compete with the league. If anything the league probably benefits from it more. Kids signing deals in the future for college/clubs/whatever it ends up being will be scouted and analyzed more than ever before. With the portal, as a pro scout, you don’t even need to watch non-P5 film anymore. It’s all playing in the SEC and BIG.
