What we have is for the first time college athletes have some leverage, are working the system. A system scant on rules. Hard to blame the kids for chasing a dollar even though in many cases its not what's best for them in the long term. Is it best for their college education...nope. Is it best for fans....nope. Being content to remain in the SBC with new FCS move ups passing us by on a yearly basis contributes to small time perception image. I'm hopeful new UL president will commit to being highly competitive in this new era and terminate anyone unable to maintain a winning program. Action is needed from the top.

Incredibly well rounded and insightful post.

NIL will be the only money most athletes will stand to receive from sports, especially most if not all of the athletes who make it to a Louisiana roster, so, if they do not exercise their NIL opportunities to the fullest, the money they will receive from sports is ZERO . . .

Especially if they don't get a degree and work in that field.

Otherwise their career earning can be attributed to sports.

I totally agree. Time to have a playoff for the actual “Student Athletes”. With limits or salary cap on the NIL stuff.

You realize our best players would still get bought off and opt out of the playoff games.

Time to reinstate the sit a year when you transfer. If STUDENT athletes don't want to play by that rule, they don't have to. They can go off to their own minor league.

This stuff is absurd.

The USSC will never allow that as an infringement upon the constitutional right of an athlete to exercise NIL . . .

That is correct. If they try to enforce the sit out a year rule it will get struck down in court.

so why do posters here keep recommending and recommending and recommending a process that they know and have been informed is unconstitutional?
