Local crafted root beers are better than any IPA produced. Love a great root beer anytime...

this USC/CO game is turning into something potentially exciting...

I kinda wish I hadn’t gotten distracted and bored of it in the first half. Turned into quite a game.
 
Georgia probably drops to #2 and Michigan moves up.
Not a #1 type of game from them.
 
For some reason, playing on the road brings challenges that don't occur at home. Example, USC, Georgia, Utah, and so far Oregon. The way Stanford played in the 1st Qtr seems to be the best game plan a team must play against the dawgs, keeping the offense and the qb off the field. Must score TDs thougn and not field goals. GO DUCKS, COUGS AND BEAVS. Huck the fuskies.
 
I had to leave at halftime, daughter coming over to the house to pick up some mail. So far, Ducks wee ahead when I left.

Ducks won 42 - 6 over Stanford. I would say that is ahead...

Stanford dominated Oregon for the first 21:45 of the game. Except the game is 60 minutes in duration.
 
Big game in the Pac- Something this weekend.
Pac-2 Champions The Powerhouse of the Palouse travel to UCLA in what will be a bigly, yuge game for Pac- Something dominance.

Go Coogs !!!

Meanwhile, some small dogs and flappy birds take the week off to get some soy lattes and shop for skinny jeans, while getting their man buns styled for new NIL picture shoots before they play in a Big Many matchup.

85 Utah football players given truck leases in new NIL deal

In the latest escalation of the college athletics arms race, the University of Utah booster group Crimson Collective made a splash Wednesday designed to grab national attention and bolster recruiting efforts by giving every scholarship football player a lease on a truck.

Where will college ball be in 5-10 years?

They need a G / minor league. The NFL could run it and do NIL deals there. Maybe the XFL could be that. I’d watch it.
Kids can then make a decision between the minor leagues and college. That is my dream….

I can’t see a different scenario

It might look like the minor leagues in hockey or baseball. Some HS players can decide to sign professional contracts and play in minor leagues for several years until drafted / called up to the major leagues. Other players will accept scholarships from college and play there for a year or four.
But the universities have a huge historical advantage / inertia in funding and visibility (= TV contracts). Minor league hockey or baseball at best attracts only regional interest / coverage, limiting the pot of money available to pay the players directly (salary) or indirectly (endorsements). Interestingly, some college athletes are already making more via their NIL deals than they would likely earn if they were to go "pro" (and certainly more than the standard minor league contract). But the universities, at least their athletic departments, will fight hard to incentivize the best HS players to enroll at the universities, regardless of the "student-athletes" interest in the main business of a university = education... With huge alumni and donor networks and national television contracts, the best players will have more visibility and greater opportunity to be paid via NIL contracts in college than in a minor league.
Once fully developed, the NIL world will essentially result in a bidding war for the best HS talent with the universities only on the periphery of the process (at present) because the NIL contracts are not typically "laundered" directly through the universities themselves but through alumni / supporter groups. [The practice of offering envelopes of cash to the family of recruits should disappear and be replaced by an NIL contract.]
This combined with easing of the transfer rules, even existing college players can be "bought" by a top school if they play well at their "lower-tier" university or to fill a need at a top school.
Unlike the reverse-order drafts that currently fill the lion's share of the roster spots in the U.S. major leagues (and which results in some opportunity for competitive parity), the NIL system at the universities will become a Wild West of unregulated capitalism. Players will move based on NIL payments, TV visibility, and the best pathways to the pros. We are already seeing a taste of the future in the Pac-12: "This year's Pac-12 quarterback class stands out not only for its overall production but its diversity in styles and strengths. The main connective tissue is the transfer portal, as eight of the league's virtually guaranteed starters began their college careers elsewhere, including Williams (Oklahoma), Penix (Indiana), Bo Nix (Auburn) and Cameron Rising(Texas)." via ESPN.

Steve,
I don’t disagree with any of that.
Maybe rather then the XFL, the haves of college football break away from the NCAA, name a commissioner, players don’t have to attend school, they can go crazy with NIL deals and they become the minor leagues of the NFL. I personally think this is coming in some form. It’s just a matter of when.

The have nots go back to college football as we knew it, you get a scholarship and a monthly stipend which is the same for all players.

Flex Protect XVIII...
😅

Wonder how much the consultants got paid for that ?

Branding the schedule, does that mean there will be a sponsor for the schedule ?

"Big-Many schedule brought to you by Pee-Chee, now available in your teams colors. Visit us @ Pee-Chee.com and order yours today !!! "

That should generate some NIL money.
🤣

That Uw vs Rutgers game is must see TV.
