It's not biting "them, it's biting the fans.   "Them" don't care because they're still cashing their checks

if it's biting their customers then eventually it will bite them. I find it funny that everyone has a problem with the players trying to get a cut but nobody ever had a problem with coaches,schools or athletic directors etc chasing the dollars.

I find it funny that you make false assumptions.

Not to mention the gambling sites getting rich off of college sports too.

Actually, a lot of us had a problem with coaches being able to transfer without sitting out a year.  It just never occurred to us to ruin our sports programs over it.  I guess we are the dumb ones.

so you aren't in favor of us chasing the dollars? Don't you want the best coach money can buy? How about the nicest facilities we can possibly build? Maybe move up to a conference that pays more?

I don't blame players one bit for wanting a cut.

BTW I'd be perfectly fine breaking off from the money chasers. put reasonable rules in place.

so you just want to restrict free trade. got it.

maybe capitalism isn't your thing.

it may not be perfect but it's the best economic system we have.

BTW our basketball team benefited greatly from the ability to get a coach and multiple transfers this year.

The system worked in our favor and now that it has people are complaining that some players are moving on. Guess what? they left their last place to come here.

No doubt College sports is a multi billion dollar industry. From television networks to the gambling industry, to the universities, and everyone and everything in between.

I am totally fine with players getting their fair share of the money pie. The Nil is just something we will have to figure out. If you look at other teams in the AAC, they are also losing players. For now we will just have to restock for next year, and than figure out how to be competitive in the NIL long term. If we can get 300 million plus for an OCS I suspect the donor base is there for NIL money

the conferences (and thereby the teams/players) need to get a cut of this. Just like professional sports leagues are doing.

the solution will be multi year contracts. just like professional sports.

Everyone has to deal with the issue of players leaving. Ohio State lost their starting QB

Capitalism?  Free Trade?  National economic systems?  You set yourself up as the only fair person, laugh at the rest of us hypocrites, and then pivot to national economic philosophy?  We're talking about college football, just as a reminder. 

These are not your best posts.  Put the shovel down.  The hole is just getting deeper.
