Tim Tebow is probably the best example. Dude had bad mechanics/long wind up before the throw, but that sophomore season with 55 TDs was amazing. Totally different experience for Florida from '06 to '09 if you don't let him run haha.

I hate to reply to the same post twice lol, but there is something you are missing here. When the play breaks down, the only thing the "pocket passer" can do is throw it out of bounds. Having a running QB lets you pick up a few yards.

LOL - you're the one who originally floated the idea in the "How To Fix College Football" thread and then you reference it here in this thread. Reminds me of Ralph Kramden floating the rumor he was gonna get the promotion at the bus station.

In good natured debate (as opposed to typical Gopherhole arguing) I would counter that Athan would have missed that pass anyway, even from the pocket. ;) I get what you're saying, and we're probably just talking over each other lol, but the threat of designed runs (ala Lamar Jackson, or...

I don't think it's that. The mobility aspect can allow a QB to escape a sack that a more "statue-esque" QB would probably just take. Or designed runs to keep the defense "honest".

It was big news like a month ago or so. He got injured, the new guy played well, etc. I'm sure you can use the internet to search.

And could you explain what work that work be? Like @Some guy said, it's easy to say, not at all easy to do (impossible if you ask me and him).

???? You mean you prefer giving them a warm-up game to get things in order before playing us? Don't they always say the biggest improvement is from week 1 to week 2? I'd rather have them week 1.

While I agree with this, I still think that's what the original poster meant, an NIL cap. Otherwise his post doesn't make any sense.

I hate to sound disagreeable lol, but I disagree. Do fans stay engaged when their team misses March Madness and heads to the NIT? Maaaaybe one or two die-hards, but I think most people care more about their March Madness bracket than they do about how their team is doing in the NIT. As for...

I'll agree on the revenue sharing angle, but I'll add that it's a requirement that the teams have OTAs, training camp, preseason games, they all play 17 regular season games, and over the course of time, they roughly all play in the post-season too. I don't think it would work so well if the...

And if it's coming from congress, even "CBA" isn't the right term, as it wouldn't have been "collectively bargained" for. Like you said, it's easy to say...but....

You think we'll beat Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State but lose to Purdue? (Did you mean to say 11-2 with losses to Indiana and the B1G champ game?)

Yeah, I get his point too. Look at NFL vs. MLB.

I *think* the poster was referring to getting NIL under said cap. The current "cap" doesn't have much teeth when you can use NIL to get around it.

Without trying to get political, I'm not sure a salary cap is really socialism. If a cap was instituted, it's not like Texas and Texas Tech and such would be forced to give us money to spend. They would just not be allowed to spend as much as they currently are.

Why? Who will force them?

The owners can lock the players out. And in any lockout, the players will feel the effects before the owners do. I don't think such a concept exists for getting college athletes to universally agree to something. If the B1G tried it, all the good players would go to the SEC, for example...

Do they really have to say he was "intercepted"? Talk about a bad time for a pun.

Or at least sending it back to what it was in the 80's when you kinda knew which few teams actually had a chance, and your team was most likely gonna be an also-ran. Then party started happening and the popularity took off. And now the opposite of parity is happening.
