This is how they look at the G6, not just UL.

Agreed.

We're delusional if we think we are playing for the CFP with the likes of bluebloods. We can't figure out a way to average 25K fans for home games.

Can't blame the kids.

Swim with the tide, beat other G6 schools to the market. We should consider highlighting the success of former transfers and get comfortable with annual turnover.

Why did dinosaurs die....they couldn't adapt.

College Football is now worse than the NFL, imo. There is no draft, there is no salary cap, there are no contracts to hold players to AND there is yearly free agency. Imagine how chaotic the NFL would be with yearly free agency. Franchise values would plummet because the predictability goes out the window and the product would suffer.

I don’t know of a good, REALISTIC way to save college athletics, at this point. Perhaps having the athletes become employees is an option, but don’t see that ending well either.

I was kind of thinking of something along the lines of Title IX for NIL. The amount of money spent on women’s NIL would have to equal the money spent on men’s NIL. So, you’re not ‘limiting’ what someone can make necessarily. Just a thought.

Don’t disagree, but to be fair, adapting to something that was, and still is, so poorly defined, is more luck than skill. What do the results look like over the next five years of “doing a good job of adapting”? From my point of view, the only successful ‘adapting’ going on right now are schools spending a bodacious amount of money in a somewhat smart manner.

They didn’t have on the field success, but they had financial success. 90% of the players who transferred out aren’t going to go pro, but they succeeded in maximizing the amount of money they could make while in college.

Not a perfect analogy, but who is more successful, the person who is a star at a non-profit pulling down $50k/year or the individual contributor who is just a number at some large company where no one knows their name making $125k/year.

That may be cool for the players but as a fan / alum I have little interest in continuing to throw away money into that scheme

What is success in your eyes?

Starting every game at UL for four years, setting school records and receiving conference honors, all while playing in front of 13k people and going to Marleys every Friday night, before ultimately being an undrafted free agent after thr NFL draft?

Or riding the bench (money or not) at a P4 school, running out of that tunnel into a stadium with 50-60-70k+ fans, using world class training facilities, and being surrounded by exponentially more exciting college life?

A bench warmer in a 90,000 seat stadium is no more seen than a fan in the stands. Which is ironic because that is the only reason there are 90,000 in the stands. They are there to be seen. Which they are not.

13,000 seeing "you" is actually the better scenario.

"ultimately being an undrafted free agent after thr NFL draft" is the better option.

As far as student life goes, I can't comment on unknown schools.

Man, years back, a car under the table usually locked a guy down for 4 years. Now, Guys like Jordan Brown and Bill Davis, it’s only good for a season.

I hope Hub City Ford yanks that commercial soon.

I still believe at some point the Dexter Manley card will get played, somewhere, somehow.

With the money in play, grading scales get subjective.
