The future of college baseball

[UL_Cajuns]

Maggard was privy and ahead of all of us.

We’re a football / baseball school. Good times ahead.

The SBC is obviously ahead of all this as well. SBC will be the top G5 in football and a P5 baseball conference.

I think we land on our feet. We will still have one of the top college ballparks in the south, rabid fan support and a strong athletic department. We fixed the video steaming dropped ball. We still need to fix concessions though.

NIL gets exposed for what it really is.

I know an early enrolled freshman QB at LSU who is driving a fully loaded Raptor.

I’m sure the Ark St one you mention got lots of publicity because every player got something. While there might not be much across the board NIL, I’m sure that pretty much all of the major schools have NIL lined up for players that is probably much more than scholarship.

havent they always?

Imagine getting more from NIL than a former number one overall pick may have gotten for his entire nfl career, yay refineryville.

p.s. wasnt there a time when early enrollees were supposed topay their own way for first semester? how long did that last, ha. where are the cancelled checks at registrars office, ha.

Not Arkansas State; the University of Arkansas. Not football or basketball, but softball, a sport with 12 total scholarsnips for 27 players. I have not heard of NIL deals anwhere else for a "minor" sport that are anyehere close to this.

How many softball teams even have 27 parking spaces for players?

You beat me to it. I almost couldn’t make it through that article. It’s too depressing. This is the state of college athletics. At least in the big sports. How can anyone associated with college athletics and a sliver integrity read that and not see an issue? Even with the loose ncaa guidelines on nil.

I can't answer that.. Arkansas is a school with virtually NO softball tradition; they have never been to a WCWS, have produced only one All America player in the history of the program and have won 40 or more games only twice in this century, though this year they will almost certainly reach that number. This NIL deal tells me that they are getting serious about softball. They will soon pass by schools unable or unwilling to invest more money in softball. Look for the Hogs to be a contender in the SEC as often as Alabama, LSU and Florida are.

Is this kicking in immediately or is it for next year? If they get the cars now, isnt there only a couple weeks left in season?
