Pedescleaux to Tulane

If this continues, not sure how much longer I can continue spending 5k+ a year

I just want to be really good in baseball at this point.

Can’t bring myself to continue really caring about the football program when this is the state of the game. I’ll turn the tube on the games to have it on while cooking or doing stuff in the yard on the weekends, but going to be really tough to stay glued to it caring what happens.

We need you at Cajun Field!

EL OH EL.

What?

The schools who get poached of their former 3-Star recruits have an incredible marketing advantage for the former 5-star recruits who have been riding the bench for two or three years and don't want NIL to spell end of the road for them.

This is where I am. Baseball, softball, volleyball and track. Go all in.

The big money sports are over.

List 5 5 star recruits that want no NIL.

One of my favorite players. The dude worked really hard over the years and became an asset. Like with Trey, I hate this.

This NIL and portal stuff is grim. But what I'm interested in is how the University and the team react. How do we hold onto players? How do you replace them when they do go? What's that going to look like on the field in the fall?

Adapt or die. We've experienced a long period of being dead and a very short period of relativity and success. No one wants to go back.

What is happening with the NIL and portal issues is that college football needs to become like college baseball.

In baseball, colleges are protected from poaching from above(MLB) due to the draft rules. In football, it is the Wild West where poaching is rampant from above(Elite P5). The call for protection from poaching is growing in the NCAA. They will either fix this issue, or they will destroy the collegiate athletic model.

There are no other outcomes.

The P5 is now just another professional football league.

Yea, I'm out. Tired of taking the high road and golf clapping for these semi-pro kids leaving us in a bind to get their money too. ____ em

That is a question that suffers from myopia.

The answer is, find "former" 5-star players who haven't seen the field and don't want their last check to be a NIL check.

I agree with your premise that there will not be a worry about enough players. However, it puts the level of play at a severe disadvantage. Players with good tape will (for the most part) will move on to greener NIL pastures.

What it means is the G5 will pick up either players who didn't get much playing time at a P5 OR someone who got a chance and didn't impress. Either way, I see it as all G5 programs will be in a continuous development mode, as well as struggling to keep quality depth.

The brand of football will suffer.

Better yet, list the reasons why said 5 star recruits aren't starting or even in the 2-deep.

I'll try to find/post the link, but by the NCAA's own reporting, 46% of players who enter the portal go unsigned. Don't remember if this is in general or specific to football.

I would assume there is a reason. Or reasons.

BTW, with the investment the Haves are putting into softball, I really fear that we won't be able to hold onto Davis and Allred.

I think this might be beyond football...college sports might be dead.

If we don't put a waiting period on the portal, collegiate sports will be dead.
