Yeah, We are paying people for this level of football?

at the same time, the universities aren't willing to give anything up either.

Seriously????

Free Education -- books, room and board. Not only free Room and Board but most all higher-level FCS schools have "Athlete Dorms" with much better amenities than for the general students.
-Regular, scheduled Tutoring at no cost
-Athlete-only training facilities
-Athlete-only dining facilities with Nutritionists and trained chefs preparing meals
-Free Healthcare for injuries that extends 2 years beyond leaving school
-Payment of any co-pays or deductibles while under scholarship

All 105 players on a Football Roster are now entitled to that. Despite the fact that probably no more than half of them are responsible for any part of the revenue and of that probably only a handful create the vast majority (i.e. probably about 5 guys have real "NIL"--the rest is just imaginary). A reasonable estimate for the cost of this would easily be $500k over a 4 year period. To say that universities aren't gving up anything is beyond ludicrous.

FSU really just said "Tackling? never heard of it" on the last 2 plays of UVA's drive

at the same time, the universities aren't willing to give anything up either. The football teams want the right to cut a player at any time but also prevent them from leaving. The athletic departments want to give these kids as little as possible. There are countless stories of athletes being promised NIL money that just never comes through (Rashada, Sluka, cooper Legas, the mass cancelation of NIL at Mich St in 2023, USC, etc).

These kids are playing the game that the universities created for them.

Interesting how they are allowing us to hear the discussion now. Probably too much criticism over horrible calls in the past.

They're almost there...

Where's Kalvin Cline when you need him?

I have a feeling they are going to beat the everliving piss out of us.

Now it's starting to look like UVA had their first few drives scripted and now they don't know which way they need to go

This right here. We can play the rest of the season with cadets for all I care.

UVA should have bought some guys that can tackle.

This is all about NIL money. NCAA rules keep them on scholarship this semester regardless of when they transfer.
