I went to Michigan. I didn’t know they had a football team in Ypsilanti.

The gamblers won’t pay crap for any player to throw an Eastern Michigan game. A potential Oklahoma national semi final game, now that’s a different matter.

Semi pro here we go - why not pay them all and be fair instead of the fake educational institutions raking it all in?! 🤪

Like Democrats, it’s really scary when they don’t even try to hide the corruption.

The transfer portal and legally paying college athletes is changing the face of college sports dramatically and rapidly. I don't like what I'm seeing. Transgenderism is no good either.

Pro sports have already been ruined. College sports are going down the same path, sadly.

Miami, UGA, UCLA and maybe USC will start adding zeroes to that number.

Yes, there’s plenty already to criticize about college sports. It’s about to go exponential...

Hmmm... I wonder if TaQuan Roberson, the ex Penn State QB, got for transferring to UConn? Or Cale Millen, too.

Texas and Texas A&M have big oil money, Washington has Microsoft money, Oregon has Phil Knight money, Stanford probably has big tech money, Oklahoma State has Hatheway Birkshire money. USC and UCLA supporters have big money.

All the really big programs now have access to money to pay for players. One Texas supporter has already come out saying he will pay every scholarship offensive lineman $50,000 per year.

In Atlanta, Morgan & Morgan, the nation’s largest personal injury law firm, has the massive UGA defensive lineman, Jordan Davis, on multiple billboards with the byline “Size Matters”

Why even bother giving these "college" athletes academic requirements? It's all about winning the ballgames. We know that. They know that.

Just pay them to represent the school and they can give up the charade of pretending to be actual students who are attending real classes.

Since we now have “de facto free agency” at the college\university level let’s quit the pretense this has anything to do with scholastics. Its taxpayer supported minor league football. It’s time to lower or remove taxpayer support and make the NFL kingpins subsidize it.

Good for him, everybody else makes money on college athletes, way past time for them to get paid.

Now that they allow sponsors, what prevents Nike from giving him 2 million to move somewhere else?

These football players should just put themselves on eBay and go to the school with the highest bidder.
