UNC's total NIL for football was about $4m. They have a pretty big funding gap to cross to meet Bill's (alleged) demands.
Yea please, bankrupt the athletic department for a sport the fans don't care about.
It's a win win for us really. If they're good it's good for the ACC and adds another quality opponent. If they're bad it's hilarious and they just wasted a ton of money
Oh I agree completely, I was just adding commentary that beating down the plebs to benefit the top is basically how our society was designed to work
And I'll leave it at that...
What I have a real fucking problem right now is that you're basically setting the average student up for generational debt with Student Loans in order to prop up the kids who already had it all with free tuition by now giving them generational wealth in NIL payments.
It's so fucking backwards from what college should be. It's not just that athletics is broken, it's now causing academics to break even harder than it was before.

Army vs Navy ROTC Flag Football post game with Pry at Worsham Field
squeeze them regular kids to pay the elites more
It's what makes the world go 'round
Yep...this is the point....
They probably won't leave for ODU but they will get poached by other programs who see an opportunity to tamper.
This is why Mines got a raise and new title and why Curt Cignetti got an 8 year extension after one year.
Keeping successful coaches is an integral part to keeping players. Their pay will be commiserate with that.
The NCAA tried to make it somewhat level but under the table and actions contrary to the rules certainly did occur. these were done specifically to unlevel the playing field, as the nature of these things are.
That the rules were broken and blaming the NCAA is like blaming state laws because murder occurs anyway,
This is not to be construed that I support the NCAA but, it is an unsurprise that they were steamrolled by courts and lawsuits.
Anything that was a control was knocked off by lawsuits. This is as we predicted and there was not a dam thing anyone could do about it.
Not just the University, she was recognized throughout the country. Her passing was on CNN.com main page (where I saw it earlier today). Godspeed Nikki.
The only prescription is more OL.
PJ Fleck knows nothing.
If I'm UNC I do it. Fuck it
Exactly.
"Those poor football players", nothing poor about the majority of them. It takes crazy money to be a part of those 7v7 teams, those camps. Not to mention the elite talent kid from Rhode Island who has no chance of getting noticed so his poor parents send him to Bradenton FL to play for IMG, i know that's dirt cheap for the poor kids.
The true poor kids play D2, D3 or NAIA if at all because they don't have the luxuries of doing camps and scouting events. They'll never get ranked and recruited with the big dogs because they can't afford those events and travels. But hey, let's pay the athletes and make that gap even bigger.
To that first point:
There are 1,726 FBS players in the portal so far for the 2024-25 transfer cycle. How busy is that? There's the number of players TOTAL who entered the first two years the portal existed:2018-19: 1,7002019-20: 1,678https://t.co/5cp8GnYgzR— Chris Hummer (@chris_hummer) December 10, 2024
PJ Fleck thinks that the B1G teams should be able to keep their own refs for all games.
PJ Fleck knows there is no difference between Miracle Whip and Mayo.
They only have to follow Mines out the door for it to have a material impact on the Virginia Tech football team though
This ALL is based on assumption.
But there are coaches who have clear records of being successful recruiters year over year and there will always be tremendous value attached to them.
To imagine they are going to accept a paycut or even stagnation just because colleges are going to be playing players is an extreme leap of logic. The competition is only going to get fiercer for those at the top and bidding wars will ensue.
Am I seeing this correctly? Did VT already sell out their allotment?
I'm pretty sure we flipped his commitment from BC.
The good news is that thread doesn't have new news (right now), so it's still just rehashing the same old stuff in this thread
I don't think any of us want a DC that blitzes every 3rd down no matter what and often gives up huge yardage because of that.
Stroman, Moore, and Chaplin are the ones I'm bummed about. Phillips too - I thought he showed some promise.
