    That would require contracts and collective bargaining. But then the implications of what happens to non-revenue sports or even scholarships come in to play.

    Requiem for College BB

    The NCAA is not some shadowy boogeyman. It is a non-profit organization made up of its member institutions. Quite frankly they have no power, so not sure what you want them to do. Maybe I’m wrong but you sound like one of the group that pitched on this perfect NIL world and are trying to find...

    Requiem for College BB

    There were alot of people(fans, journalists and more than a few people in here) who loved the idea of NIL and called out skeptics of it as haters of players getting a fair shake. Those people are now sheepishly keeping their heads down or outright lying about their support for it. But make no...

    Go Get Musselman

    You are right the specific number does suggest some actual knowledge.

    Are Fans the only Ones left with Loyalty to a Team?

    The miscalculation is that the fans will continue to have loyalty as well. I am not going to start rooting for someone else, but a lot of the fun for me is watching players develop and grow as individuals and as a team. Harder to get excited about yearly collections of mercenaries.

    Go Get Musselman

    I could see this happening though. If I were Payne's people I would be asking for this. This system is stupid IMO, but I would actually be surprised if guys like Payne weren't doing this.

    Go Get Musselman

    I don't know if the ex-NBA route has proven to be that foolproof.

    If anything I am on the other side as I didn't like the hire and haven't been real impressed with what I have seen. But it is stupid when his supporters would post stuff like this when we won some games and it is stupid when the detractors do it now.

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    I don't mean to belabor the point, but take for example the ACC tourney game with NCState and UNC. Kevin Keatts for NCSTATE was 3 feet onto the court WHILE the action was going on a few feet away from him. Hubert Davis for UNC was telling the refs to do something about it but they didn't the...

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    In theory I suppose it would, but in practice it doesn't seem to. The refs tend to even out fouls in almost every case. The coach goes crazy and if they are at home the fans follow that lead and start going crazy. The refs are human, so they call some makeup fouls to even out the fouls and free...

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    I get what you are saying but sadly the refs respond more to the wild complaining. Basketball more than the other sports is more about subjective officiating.

    Does CBJ ever work the officials?

    Complaining that people who don’t agree with you are complainers. Hmm?

    The Deion Sanders effect: Colorado sees record number of applications, including 50% spike from Black students

    People that make their college choice based on how flashy the football coach is, are exactly the kind of students you want at your university.

    Football Scoop: Minnesota is putting spring football behind a paywall

    This. If some people want to spend their money to pay college players already on scholarship, I don't get it, but it is their money. And if getting to see a secret practice makes them feel even more like an insider, all the better. But the point that was always talked about was trying to expand...
