Bravo!!!!!! +10,000!!!!

I will never…..EVER give up my allegiance to this Team. This school. This Nation.

I hear you brother
Been “not giving up” (more often than nought -banging my head against the wall) regarding this team for over 40 years now.
I pray this NIL and transfer portal crap can be contained -AT LEAST return to sitting out a year

For the sake of our fellow G5s

He's definitely more aggressive and I like that.

That has to happen. Otherwise, you can't contain it.

Guys. I have been talking with CFB enthusiasts about this for 4-5 years now. Forget the 130 teams in CFP division. Forget the 66 teams considered P-5 (that includes ND and BYU). The world of college only props 20-22 teams as the “Big Boys”. Soon even some of the mid level and doormat P-5s will be treated the same as JC/CC 2yr pathways to the large schools with more money and more avenues to NIL.

- USC, UCLA, Washington
- Notre Dame
- MSU, Mich., OHST, PSU, Neb.
- Clemson, Pitt, FSU, Miami
- Bama, UGA, FLa, Auburn, Ole Miss, ARK, TAMU, LSU, OU, Texas

UW is a maybe on this list. Also, look which conference has the most teams. This is how the leverage will shift. Players will park at Arizona for 2 years until the players transfer out or draft up, then AZ will transfer to USC for more glitz and glamour. Sure AZ will retool with players from other low P-5s and G-5s, but give it a free years. Every other team not in the ones I listed above, will be irrelevant and have as much of a chance at CFP as we do. JMO

I believe many on RP have penned similar views.

I don't think that will happen. I could be wrong, but I don't think CFB would be nearly as popular, which means attendance and especially TV viewership would decline, which means the big boys' income would drop drastically.

In addition, long time conference membership would have to be drastically revised. much more than anything we've seen to date.

With people like Saban and Kirby stating that limitations need to be set, I believe NIL and portal will be curtailed. these guys are literally at the top of the top. If they think this is not a good situation, I can't imagine anyone thinking it is.
