Why is it it has to go to one extreme (players can't be paid a cent for their likeness, etc.) to they can make over a million a year before they've played one down of college sports? Now these Super PAC alumni groups in college football just buy players like they are at an auction. Players commit, then back out, commit somewhere else, etc. keep blowing up their NIL money to larger amounts. But this college playoff format is going to make CFB much more popular....its overdue and fans have been chomping at the bit for it.

The NFL is just a perfect sports watching entity: It works wonderfully on a TV screen. It's ideal. Great to watch at these modern Disneyland stadiums being built. Millions of fans dedicate their WHOLE Sunday to watch the games, plan parties, go to sports bars, have cookouts, tailgate, etc. Every Sunday is an event, every game has meaning. Generations of families bond over it, including strangers you see wearing your favorite team's jersey. Its increasing popularity is unbelievable. The change in direction to parity under Pete Rozelle was genius. Brilliant. The NFL is at a point right now where they've got a ton of legit QB talent under 28-29 years old that could elevate them even further. Dueling, faces-of-the-franchise QBs creating must see TV matchups in prime time is a gold mine for the league and the all-important fence sitting demographic.

Back to the topic, Jordan Love: he could be a good one. But the jury is still out, although his new contract says otherwise.

You are correct on that NIL shit.  Take Kayden Proctor for example, one of the top tackles 2 years ago out of high school originally committed to his home state school Iowa.  Then just before signing day Alabama opens the purse strings and momma gets a new car and house down south and son gets the cash to play for the Tide.  After his freshman year he portals back to Iowa and gets NIL money then just before spring practice here comes Alabama again with more NIL money to transfer back to the Tide.  Absolutely out of control.

All of that “smart” money invested in a rookie QB now becomes he better be a top 5 qb or it wasn’t worth the trip.

Good God, please make him suck Smile

Actually, just be slightly above average so they have no idea what to do.

I guess Brock Purdy has looked like ass early in camp as well. More than likely its nothing, just early camp stuff.
