It’s going to be interesting where “college” sports is going to be in 5 years.

People who have complained for years that college athletes should be paid will soon be moaning about how the big schools are getting even more of the 5-star recruits than before.

The world was almost universally celebrating this but I think it is absurd. The sheer corruption itself, but it’s going to end major college sports. I was for a change to the rules that give kids a chance to make money but still regulated but this is way worse than the corruption that the previous rules were meant to prevent. I am no fan of the NCAA, but this change is bad.

If they had changed the rules to force some sort of compensation for jersey sales etc that would be a truly fair addition since it is them on the field wearing those numbers. Unencumbered endorsement money is stupid for college students.

Am I supposed to be upset that college athletes can now also make money off their own fame, instead of just having their coaches and universities make money off them while they get nothing? I’m not. Good for them.

Endorsements. If Alabama fans like Bryce in commercials, then power to them? I enjoy seeing Mike Trout wearing the hat and jacket that I want. Few college athletes get endorsements outside of football.

Clay Helton, Clay Helton, Clay Helton, is the worst coach in power 5 College football.

Eat it SC blind boosters, digest it, USC Football is rotting on the bone under Coach Clay Helton!!!

This kid was a one time SC commit!

But then Cincinnati took over USC, and the tampon brigade decided to keep the worst power 5 coach in America at the helm of USC!

Thank you SC boosters!!!!!

It's hard to imagine the monsters these athletes will become on campus.

Seems fair since the option of earning big money as a pro is probably nearing the end. Who will pay to watch games between virtue-signalling kneeling America-hating wokester trannies?

Good for him. Especially cause he’s kinda thin. There’s no guarantee he’ll even get a sniff from the NFL. Might as well make some money.

Oh, Jefferson.. Bring my Bentley around front, will you?

I have a class at 11. Practice at 1 and home by 4.

Letting the ox munch on the grain stalks for a change instead of muzzling them?

The NCAA.. We could have done better.. but the pay was the same.
