Men who put the commit in committed.

So refreshing!

Someday, hopefully college-sponsored semi-pro football will lift the facade and just admit what it really. Then, maybe, teams of actual college students may emerge from that shadow and we could watch a football game between Georgia Tech's best football-playing students, and dwag future drive-through-window staffers.

Until then, we have Army vs. Navy.

I have Navy in an upset. Besides, I like goats.
 
You won’t see this at the P-5 level. If you want this type of football at GT then Tech needs to join the Southern Conference and reduce the stadium to 15,000.

Thanks for Collins. Glad we have big money guys like you and your pals in charge. Have any more propaganda to share?

I am hoping for a day when they eliminate the "student athlete" charade in the P5, stop requiring the football players to be enrolled in the school for which they play or take any classes, and just admit that it's all an NFL farm system. YellowJackets, sponsored by Georgia Tech. Tigers, brought to you by Clemson. Like that. That would leave room for organic development of real conferences of real teams of actual students from colleges and universities, studying for real degrees with academic requirements and everything . . . no NIL, no transfer portals, no nonsense.

A boy can dream, can't he?
 
Do the fb players at West Point and Annapolis have to meet the strict entrance requirements that regular students do at those schools?

They have to meet the entrance requirements but like at GT, getting an 800 on your SAT and maintaining a 2.0 HS GPA ain’t all that difficult. USNA has NAPs as well. If for some reason they won’t let you in, go to NAPs and if you survive you’ll get in.

Edit: Those requirements were illustrative not actual, you don’t need to be a 1500 SAT Valedictorian and Class President to play ball.

you're upset at college athletes when you should be upset at the schools, networks and others who have turned CFB into being all about money and status.

Sorry if my post came off the way. I have ZERO upset at the "college" athletes. Zero. Do not blame them even the littlest bit for anything. It is totally directed "at the schools, networks and others who have turned CFB into being all about money and status."

No, you don't need to be a 1500 SAT Valedictorian and Class President to play ball at the academies.

But you do need to be willing to forget about the NFL (at least in the short term) and be willing to go have your ass shot off in some overseas öööö hole. So it's a little different than the five star who is just looking to burnish his NFL creds for three years at Bama.
 
Just let kids go pro at any age. The ones who want to be paid will leave, and amateurism will return.

Academies have been giving waivers/deferrals to NFL prospects. There was one just last season so that the player can attend an off-season NFL camp.

Howeve, if you are a five star, the academies is still not your best route to the NFL, more like the worst path.

IMO P5 football will be reduced to 12-15 programs that are the “mini-NFL” within the next 4-5 years. They will not only get the best recruits on signing day, but they will poach good players like Gibbs from The Georgia Tech’s via the transfer portal, just like they steal the best coaches from successful programs.

The SEC ESPN contract and paying “amateur college students” + the transfer portal will give these programs far more advantages than they already have.

It will be rare as hens teeth to see a Boise State, Cincinnati, TCU and even Texas A&M make the playoffs and contend for conference and NCs.

$$$$ has changed “college football “.
