Aaron Taylor’s Take

Ummm… that was a pretty empty speech. College football as we are used to it can no longer fight back against the vast wealth that will pay anything to win.

The bad news for programs like that is that by ruining the sport in order to dominate it, you have devalued it to the point where being the king of college football isn’t actual worth anything. It used to be worth a lot. Not anymore.

And when factory schools call pull in 15 draft picks compared to 1 or none, then the game is literally over. We need to drop Georgia from the schedule and prepare for the FBS to split into 2 different divisions.
 
My brother an Ohio State alum blamed all other college football programs for running inept programs. He claims it’s always taken money and effort to be good. That is what elite programs and their fanbases think of ones that are underperforming.
 
Typical nothing. Present a really vague argument that something is wrong (which everyone will agree with no matter what the issue is) without doing any work to clarify what it is and offering no solutions other than we have to fix it.

Get the maximum number of people nodding their heads like idiots. This guy should go into politics.

All these people who are arguing that players needed "to get theirs" and are now upset about NIL. You did this.
 
This is rich coming from a Notre Dame guy who was part of a program at the forefront of shenanigans back in the day. Once the big southern schools figured out the game his beloved program fell from tier 1. Was he complaining about the adults in the room while ND was giving out $100 handshakes and relocating families for recruits?

I said it when NIL first cropped up that under this system any team can become competitive if the alum want to. USC has decided to compete after failing at the old game for the past 2 decades after they succeeded at the old game with Carroll.. Good for them.
 
Isn’t it weird that the biggest opponents of NIL in CFB are people from programs known to pay their players and buy championships? Why are we pretending this is killing the amateur spirit of college football when it’s been dead. uga hasn’t asserted its dominance over us and won the title because of NIL. They’ve been doing this öööö for decades. Now they have competitors for the same players they used to easily buy under the table. We don’t even pay competitive coaching salaries and we’re complaining about NIL killing Tech or college football. Please…

Exactly. Saban‘s crying and you’ll hear Kirby crying when losses come up about this issue. I believe there will be several schools in our tier who will become competitive due to the new structure which the current elite won’t like. Yellawood is going to enjoy shopping as one example. And the Miami money could be fun to watch. As well as the Nike money in the northwest. And Stanford has one or a dozen bazillianaires.

Schools with exceedingly rich, exceedingly popular, or exceedingly large alumni bases can compete. Others cannot. We are mired somewhere in between.

Why do the rich alumni at other schools care about sports and our rich alumni have no interest?

The factory fans are going to learn, once they're done killing the rest of the P5, that being the best at a sport that literally no one cares about isn't that fun. Ohio State needs Wisconsin/Minnesota/Michigan State/Illinois/Purdue/etc more than they all need Ohio State, ultimately. USC might have fun winning every game in the PAC-12 77-0, but what happens 10 years into it when the other programs just literally give up? Do they think they'll enjoy going 6-6 in some super league with a bunch of random southern schools?

Cowboys fans still go to games.
 
I think the real reason Tech fans are opposed to NIL is that it turns the following lyric from a diss to a compliment:


Mine eyes have seen the glory of the NCAA,
They're investigating Georgia players to see how much their paid,
After counting all the cars, and the loans alumni made,
They outpaid the NBA

I tell all my Ugag buddies that dont like the NFL, Havent you realized that your essentially watching the same thing in the SEC. They get paid the most out of all the College conferences and are playing to go to the NFL. So what's the difference
