The pros are a much more enticing choice than college, because they do understand that competition is the basis of their success. I never thought I would rather watch a random pro game more than a meaningful college game, but I am now there.
My rating for NT sports is still around 5, but that is compared to a 10 prior to this NIL nonsense.
I have a diversive opinion on the pro side. We are about to see a generation of spoiled overpaid college kids demanding more as a rookie than ever before. They will work less and expect more because now they have expectations that can't last in terms of money or respect/experience
The CFB correction will happen when pro teams realize they are getting a lesser product from universities that have enabled a the next class of spoiled kids.

six-figures
complete job autonomy
ownership stake
time for 60-70 rounds of golf a year (in a place with about an 8 month season)
a month or so of remote work in south america every winter
one of the most vibrant food and drink scenes in the country
living in one of the prettiest states in the country
and the liver of someone 20 years my elder
all with the self-awareness that a D1 athlete has invested a lot more hours and energy into their craft than I have.
Let's be 100% transparent. Our situation is apples and Oranges to theirs. We learn on the job and we have a ceiling. Most of our careers will max at what...250k? 300 at most unless you are a Harvard educated CEO. Most of us probably started in the 40k range. That's Pickles compared to their starting peanuts.
Athletes have insane competition just to get hired, have a super high ceiling, but also a super short shelf life (unless you're Aaron Fing Rodgers. Please die already). The investment is before they get hired, and the potential is (imho) insane.
There's no comparison here. Best not to try.

Just need to launch "NCAAF collective manager simulator 2025" instead. Who cares how your rent-a-team did as long as you can buy a new one next season.
The Sims of college football. I'm patenting that. It was my idea first.

Agree. It's the shallow end of FBS that needs blocked off and is polluting the water.
I uh... this is going to come as a shock... we kinda are the shallow end? Our blood runs green but we can't kid ourselves that we aren't a perpetual bottom 1/3rd of fbs

Does the data actually support this? I'm not saying you're wrong, as I haven't yet seen any numbers comparing G5 draftees this year vs. the past. But, just perusing round by round, it feels like I'm seeing plenty of G5, FCS, and occasionally lower levels being represented. Where the G5 might be underrepresented (as compared to past performance) might be the high profile 1st round and maybe 2nd round picks.
Interestingly it has gone the other direction, so I guess I'm way off on my ranting. Had AI run the % of draft picks from P5 teams
- 2014: Approximately 82%
- 2015: Approximately 80%
- 2016: Approximately 83%
- 2017: Approximately 85%
- 2018: Approximately 81%
- 2019: Approximately 79%
- 2020: Approximately 83%
- 2021: Approximately 84%
- 2022: Approximately 82%
- 2023: Approximately 80%

UNT has got to get guys drafted. 2 in the last 20 years despite having 5 different head coaching regimes during that time period isn't good for a D1 Texas school.
The days of getting players drafted are pretty much gone for G5. If you are good enough you transfer and build up your resume. Just another reason I'm losing interest in CFB.
I'd be very interested in seeing how many G5 players are drafted annually vs before portal/NIL... oh wait no I just really don't care anymore. 🖕NCAAF

I'm torn. I absolutely hate the Packers, but I wouldn't be able to hate them as much if Zach became their DC. I'd only be able to truly hate their offense. 😞 I guess there's always their fans.
Watching the packers shred the boys for yet another year might almost be something I could swallow if Zach was there.

As long as it's not a nasty IPA that someone has to convince me it has enjoyable "complexity" to its flavor and finish.
I remember my first IPA... what a disaster.
But I learned that, like coffee, its a process.
Start with the absolute worst most bitter and pungent one imaginable. I recommend arrogant bastard. This is the palate killer.
Next, go cheap and simple, something inoffensive like Sierra Nevada's entry level IPA. This acts close to a palate cleanser, but more of a palate reset.
Finish with something high end. I recommend dogfish head 90 minute.
After that, the flavor just sparks. You suddenly notice the notes and appreciate the hoppy bitterness. Or you don't, you unsophisticated donkey.

The new college landscape and NIL burnt him out quick
Guy was coaching into his 70s. The only things burning were his knees. Back. Kneck. Probably prostrate and who the hell knows what else.
NIL may have been the final straw, but this guy went well beyond the standard and still did amazing work.

Dude just let her pick whichever volleyball program is doing better if she wants to win.
Like seriously... my daughter is about to go into computer animation..of which UNT has no degree. Texas state has one. UT as well. Should I curse her lineage because she went to another college for a better program? The green in me says yes... the dad in me tells that other guy to f*ck right off

Basically, if FSU couldn't make CFP against the current conference, then playing Cal or SMU is going to count even less against them and push the strength of schedule even further back

Bowl games should be part of larger tournament/playoff system. Have the main CFP then an NIT equivalent. You'd slightly decrease the pool of teams (maybe 7 wins becomes the floor) but keep the same amount bowls. Sponsors would be happy because the games would have more relevance.
I actually love this idea the more I think about it. It adds a lot of fun to the post season and probably more revenue overall. Still have the problem of players sitting out... but maybe if some of that revenue was shared?
Anything to make the bowl system more exciting and meaningful for sub-CFP teams. Yeah it's basically FCS 2.0 but the current system is too broken

Sitting out a bowl game just to become an UDFA? College football just plain sucks now

Well wouldn’t you agree Bloesch and Clements were established Oline coaches before coming here? @Udomannsaid we don’t have the budget to hire established Oline coaches and I’m pointing out that we have had them before now.
Hey, don't drag me back into this. I'm just a near middle aged man who is frustrated to see his favorite sport dying and likes yelling at clouds. I'll get them darned kids off my lawn one day... (when I send them to college)

Does any of this matter? Aside from coaches, every team will be 75% portal kids. Who knows wth kind of team anyone will be the next year regardless of record.

Doesn't seem like a bad hire at all.
It's also not a "great" hire, but what do we expect here? We don't have the budget to hire established Oline coaches (or replace a DC).
so overall, I'll take it. Good luck coach!

On a scale of 1 to 10...

I honestly do not know how it'll shake out. This whole thing has been bizarre. But if I had to make a guess..
Rule #1 of money is you don't touch another man's money. This goes double for big money, and NFL owners are the biggliest. They also have a lot of influence over their alma maters.
You're right, the floodgates are open, so you can't close it. You control it. I foresee contacts and salary caps becoming relevant at the school level. I also expect it to break into 2 divisions because unfortunately G5 just cannot compete financially. It will resemble the NFL control structure more, but obviously being higher education facilities there will be distinct differences. But anything that improves physical competition (not monetary) will be pushed for by these influences.
I'm also 100% wrong on this because the shit show is just starting and who knows what will happen tomorrow
