I think this would put a ton of player evaluation responsibilities on KOC and Flores (for now). I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I've always thought of Rob as almost purely a numbers guy.

Yes. Bad for football but it looked cool. Chris Darkins in a Saturday night home game wearing sneakers - that was so cool back in the day.

They could but I don't think the ACC would really have the same amount of money. The TV rights of the SEC and Big 10 dwarf the ACC. I think if the SEC and Big 10 wanted to start a separate deal, I think the ACC would either fall in line or the biggest institutions would join the SEC/Big 10...

You're the only one who proclaims to be a comedic professional but I'm saying he did not explain his joke. There is a difference between saying "I'm joking" and explaining a joke. Think like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog - he was still funny despite saying "I keed I keed". Tons of comedians say...

If the Big 10 and SEC came to an agreement, it would essentially lock it all up (from the "owners" side). Those universities could also build their own tournament (think like NFC/AFC). Players could still go Big 12 schools, ACC schools, etc., but that would be like joining the World Football...

I don't see what these things have to do with each other. No one is arguing that Sanders isn't happy about this undeserved gift being handed to him. We all assume he is probably elated (we all would be). The discussion here is just how undeserving he is or what a sham the Pro Bowl has turned...

I only used those folks because they are clearly not Pro Bowlers and even they deserved it more than Shadeur. They were all better than Sanders in every single category (completion percentage, TD:Int, YPA, etc.). Shadeur was legitimately bad this year. Hell, Dillon Gabriel's numbers were better...

He didn't explain the joke. He just said it was a joke. You should pretend to be a reader next time.

There has to be more to this story, I am a Shadeur defender, but they had to have asked a ton of other guys who declined. Shadeur was considerably worse than JJ McCarthy. Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Ward and even Joe Burrow has to have turned it down. Guys like Tua, Flacco, and Geno...

Agreed. There would have to be some incentive for the conferences to work together or else you could hop conferences. We see this in professional sports.

It's hard to imagine how it looks but maybe the conferences?

Agreed. Whether or not a NIL deal produces immediate ROI for these private entities is pointless. You are free to make deals - good or bad.

If it's mutually agreed upon (via CBA), I agree. I can't really envision how a CBA really looks though. Until then, the courts have routinely ruled that NCAA rules on eligibility are unreasonable restraints on trade.

I believe the court ruled that he cannot play/enroll anywhere else until Duke's request for an injunction. It's not specific to Miami and the judge did not rule on the merits, he just laid out the procedural next steps.

The difference is that NFL contracts are part of a CBA.
