The latest episode of the college football enquirer podcast has some great discussion about the House settlement and whatās wrong with it.
Episode referred to above.
I jokingly suggested no eligibility restrictions last month. Itās a funny idea to me, but the more I thought about it the more realistic it seemed.
Choice points:
- āCollegeā basketball has lost the plot so bad, Iād been thinking about a ācollegeā league with no limitation on playing years.
- if they removed the limit on years of eligibility, thereād be such a surplus of good players hanging around the ācollegeā league, you couldnāt possibly have all these transfers.
- Imagine if we could have paid Leemire more than those pro leagues. Players get paid, and schools & fans can end up with āfranchiseā players who earn a triple PhD in the meantime.
Why would we pay a guy to stay around in college and play basketball? Does it matter? Thereās money to be made and ball to be played.

This is nothing new. Dean Smith said years ago his ideal team would be 8 scholarship players and 5 walk ons
clt adds zero classes to his ideal team

Lovely how the P5 managed to arrange for the non P5 to help pay off mostly former P5 players so they have plenty left to pay their current and future players. Glad we could unwillingly help those bastards out.

This is such a gross miscarriage of justice and itās being utterly ignored.
I would say I am shocked by it, but thatās how the world works these days. The rich make the rules and fuck the average Joe with no remorse or guilt.

And what many of these pundits dont understand is the impact to college sports in general and more specifically the non-top brands. I love how all of these folks focus on the top 30 schools with examples and then get angry when schools like ours say we canāt play this game.
