Sounds like a little drama? Is a split near?

I agree. I wonder why they haven't done it already? It seems to be in the works...so maybe it is just timing. Do they see analytics that say that an NFL-lite prep league might not be as popular as sticking with the myth of college athletics? I do wonder about the appeal of a BIG/SEC/Top of the Rest league. I also wonder about the effect on those of us left behind. Anecdotally, you hear fans of even BIG and SEC schools say that they like a true college atmosphere and don't want a sanctioned semi-pro league. My FIL says that if it happens, he won't watch Nebraska anymore and will become solely a Wyoming fan. I'm guessing he is in the minority, but I wonder what a "true college" league might do as a stand alone juxtaposed against the appeal of the big boys doing their own thing.
I think a "true" college league is what fans genuinely want. In practice it would be very hard to do in a world where there is a semi-pro prep league that is always taking the best young players away every year. Even if they split....unless there are transfer rules that are genuinely enforced...you end up in a very weird situation in regards to program stability.LawPoke wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 8:57 amI agree.

Several court cases are working through that may impose heavy judgements against p5 and force a profit share/payment in the future. Many of the p5 may not be able to afford to play at the top level. Many at the top level may afford it but reduced football revenue will exacerbate the financial bleeding brought on by non-revenue sports.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 11:24 amgive the the Cliff Notesragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 8:32 pm Worth the read...
