We absolutely could have, regardless of what StineyDraw48 would've told you. Former player shmormer player, I do not miss that dude.
Yes especially since he was a pre-season freshman 3rd team all acc pick
you hate to see it for a clear Pry-era contributor
It will be capped, like any plan. The NFL has strict rules around post career healthcare and who is eligible etc. This won't be a blank check, in fact it will be a paltry benefit if I had to guess. healthcare for every ex player would cost trillions
This is a big thing for sure. It's a big part of why, after 25 years, I am not a season ticket holder anymore. I'm all for the kids getting their fair share but without contracts and some certainty to allow recruiting and development to have a horizon beyond 12 months, what hope does a development program have? In this current era we wouldn't have Sam Rogers, he'd have been picked up and paid to be a 3rd string TE by Penn State.
I might be the only one to focus on this part.. "It brings regulation to agents & requires schools provide athlete degree completion, post-grad healthcare, etc." Which schools are going to be responsible, first school, last school, what level of health care?
That would be the hope, but as it stands now the NCAA is still a voluntary organization. I still think absent some dire consequences the BIG BRANDS (TM) will eventually leave their conferences and make a super league, at which point a whole bunch of things fall down and go boom.
And without some legal framework the NCAA largely functioned as a body to be sued and lose in court under restraint of trade. Still shitty that they cannot be considered employees since they're being compensated for performing a job and all. But if there are comparable protections for the athletes without some of the thornier Labor Law issues attaching it could be workable.
You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't function within the rules you have to go. Pry's best chance of a winning season is finally getting all the details right.
I think you could make a multiple xfer rule but it would be penalizing each xfer. First xfer is just a transfer, the 2nd time is sitting out 12 regular season games (applies to graduate transfers too), 2nd xfer is 24 games.
If you get the you have 5 years to play 5 seasons (get rid of the play 4 games rules), then you basically get to play 2 years if you transfer 3 times.
Codify it, please.
The sooner the legislative brand of government can give the NCAA actual teeth and reign this shit under control the better. And I would absolutely hope that whatever is being passed would be future-proof and kneecap the desire for the SEC and Big Ten to split away in order to skirt around NCAA regulations.
brings regulation to agents
additional rules regarding agent involvement
What, getting rid of shyster agents? Can't happen soon enough
enforcement power to require athletes to disclose NIL deals
DC has been pounding this for a while now. NIL deal numbers are just unsubstatiated rumors at this point. Being able to accurately calculate how much teams are spending on NIL is the first step to getting some sort of transparency.
enforcement of the one-time transfer rule
Are we going to give up on the unlimited transfer ability for these downtrodden players?

"allow enforcement of the one-time transfer rule"- If this doesn't happen, the sport is dead. The fans will check out and coaches won't want to deal with the shit either. The good ones will go to the NFL, where you know who is on a multi year contract or not.
To be fair, the NCAA has been lobbying Congress for an anti-trust exemption for close to 15 years but Congress never acted on it.
If Whit was serious about football, Fu is fired after that game. But everyone on here knows and continues to be reminded that Whit is not serious about football
Oh you mean what the NCAA should have done instead of creating a Wild West shitshow and sitting by idly acting like this is what the fans always wanted
Yes the quarterback that the 2018 Hokies made look like Dan Marino quit football to join the seminary.
Future.....priest?
Passed on the depth chart
Seeing a couple comments on other articles saying he was late to meetings and other team events plus a couple other discipline issues.

Who knows maybe he decided he didn't want to run with the team. That has happened before.
Or he was told his bag would be dependent on YAC.
i miss literally everyone who doesnt post here any more, even if they drove me absolutely nuts while they were around
