So we could potentially see a Michigan Wolverine play in September and suit up for OSU Buckeyes in November? Lose your starting QB in week 2 and face against him in week 8? This will be wild. This is truly free market.

“The NCAA can not prevent a player from unenrolling from a university and enrolling in a new university and competing immediately”.

No need for a portal!!!!!!

I like the playoff format because it stops the b.s. about a trio of SEC schools always being the best, and truly seems to show which teams are the best that year.

What I don't like is all the neo NFL garbage that has been allowed to take place. What it shows is just how badly some players are gaming their schools to actually prime up and springboard into the NFL for their shot at potential millions.

At this point, definitely if the NCAA still exists in any form, it just needs to be dissolved and replaced with something with backbone that's not beholding to the NFL, or financial institutions.

Rumor has it that the big zero represents the Bucs' record against M over the last four years. No?

Just a guess but I doubt we'd trade them places.

Not being in a conference netted ND a cool 20 mil...

 

[Porter2]

And you figure OSU brought in at least 25M+ out of that 46M and has to split it up among the other Big 10 schools to some degree. Think ND is the big $$$$ winner here.

Very pleased by this. It's what should have happened last year. We haven't had a Bama-quality OC since Sark left and it's shown in the results.

They could have done this a long time ago, but thanks to the NCAA digging in their heels and doing nothing, we find ourselves where we are today with NIL etc.
All of this could have been easily avoided.
Good luck to some schools finding an extra $20 mil when they already have huge deficits in their athletic departments.

I saw there was some set aside money for former players as well....
