What is going on?

The NCAA is dead. With NIL to put restrictions on players could be perceived as restraint of trade/employment. The third party, the NIL providers control the situation.

What I see happening is that the NCAA will try to put up restrictions and then the SEC will try to break away and form a mini NFL league while inviting a few more big names to join like Ohio state, USC, Oregon, Clemson, Norte Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin, Miami, and Florida State. They will probably eventually expand to 32 and play a league only schedule…. It will be ____ty to watch the SEC destroy college football….the only way it would be stopped is if the PAC12 and BIG 10 put their foot down and say no, but my crystal ball says this is where we are headed…sad the college football has been completely ruined in 1 year because of NIL and no rules in place.

The thing is even including the top 1-20 schools more than 75% of the players will be hurt by easy ass transfer portal and NIL CONTRACTS.

The idiots who are pushing this agree it’s not good overall but the wants and needs of a few must be advanced.

Had a crazy thought how the NCAA can put the brakes, to a degree, on this. Put the STUDENT back in student-athlete. Put the money chasing athlete answering to two powers…the third party money man and the classroom. Sounds crazy, but could work. No grades, no play, no money.

At the time our new coach was announced It was my understanding all the players “loved” Mike. It was also said that our new coach will continue and enhance the culture and the program. On both instances this has proven to be wrong. Idk of many programs in the country that could survive what has taken place. If this portal crap and NIL stuff is not modified we will be in rebuild mode every year and that is something Dr Maggard did NOT base his hire on. Unfortunately Mike has a very steep hill to climb, and it almost feels like hes making that climb alone. Its a very unfortunate situation.

What evidence have we seen “proving” that the players don’t “love” CMD?

It will be hard to complete in the NIL. We can't get folks to donate $50 to the RCAF foundation.

We can get folks to invest into RCAF. When we find a competent outreach team that understands small donations matter too, we will get a lot more members. We also need a comprehensive plan to cultivate Large, Medium and Small donations coming into the coffers. We don't currently have that. And we certainly don't execute it properly.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Do you think it would be smart or a good idea to have someone local or an alumni with connections run the RCAF?

Yes hire coaches nationally (outside of Louisiana) and fund raisers locally in Louisiana.

Another solution to this problem, effective immediately, P5 can only play other P5 and no G5 universities. If they want separation, then give it to them completely. Then G5 universities could have a true playoff system, no bowl games and eventually watch the P5 system eventually fall apart. They can not survive without G5 universities on their schedules. There are a lot more G5 universities out there to set up a schedule than P5. P5 universities would eventually get tired of playing the same other 20 or so P5 schools.

Just a thought.

Among other problems would be restraint of trade restrictions and the fact that many G5 schools depend on these P5 games to support their athletic department.
