I'd consider Tyrone Carter to be a legend. Maybe some of the stuff he said recently might change that, but if you go just off his time in Dinkytown....

Thanks. I mean, I think we've been doing great in the portal and so to see them ahead of us.... Kinda like PSU. I doubt many teams would be happy taking the cyclones roster versus what everyone else in the top 10 is doing.

Paging Dean Martin...

Why is WI so high? I thought they lost some key players?

Not trying to argue (in case it sounds that way lol). I just think athletic departments like ours would prefer to tell our football team to keep playing in an uncompetitive landscape while preserving the non-revenue sports, vs. any risk to those just to try and change the football landscape...

How would the details work? If the Gophers and such just don't show up to play Ohio State or Oregon, our athletic department's revenue will crash, along with our athletic department, before the top spenders will feel their hand being forced. Don't our TV contract agreements require us to play...

This is BULLSHIT. Show me the proof those numbers aren't real. I'm waiting. Where's your proof that they aren't real????? Oh, that's right. You have no proof - you just come here to bi!ch about it.

Yeah, but what are their interests? Third party NIL doesn't affect them, and right now no one is forcing them to cover medical or tuition expenses after the athletes leave the school. Seems like they would have a lot to lose and nothing to gain. At least with other "pro" leagues you have the...

Yeah, I have a friend from southern CA. If there's a way to bend a rule to win in football, they'll absolutely do it.

I hear ya, and WI kinda did that for decades, but it almost seems like giving up nowadays. I mean, when WI was doing it, they could get to a valued Rose Bowl with likely just one key upset of Ohio State or Michigan. And they get 10 win seasons from that and people were good with it. Nowadays...

Oh, my bad. That makes a lot more sense, kinda like Cashman being at a spring practice last year.

By the way, does anyone actually have any "THOUGHTS ON KENNY MINCHEY", the original target of this thread? ;)

Was it collectively bargained for?

Well what "right" are you talking about? I have the right to work, but I can't sue if no one hires me. Similarly, high school grads have the right to pursue a college football opportunity, but no one is obligated to give them a spot.

Thanks, that's more clear now. Not being sarcastic, this is a legit question: who would be on the other side? Would the schools form a union also, and the two unions negotiate?
