It's coming…

With NIL and the Portal, it's just a matter of time before an underclassman enters the draft, doesn't like his draft slot and sues to return to college to collect NIL $$$

i hope the entire system comes crashing down leaving all of us with nothing to watch but ivy league football. College football absolutely sucks now.

While I think what you posted is kinda ridiculous, the real question here is if college athletes can make money anyways why stop them from playing college ball if they don't get drafted by the NFL and still have eligibility remaining?

This "eligibility" thing you speak of sounds like an unfair rule that restricts someone from earning a living.

Coming soon .... 34yo super super super whatever seniors lining up against an 18yo freshman, lol.

Good thing is in this day and age, you can just watch ivy league football and be done with it. But we all know you and the people starring your post will continue watching P5 football and complain.

There would be a valid argument to make in that case especially seeing how a baseball guy can wait and see where he's drafted and then return to school.

Sounds like a great development for us. We could use a couple more years of play from the guys who overestimated their NFL value.

absolutely this. our guys get terrible advise come out early then get drafted in the 6th to 7th round or become free agents. many would have improved their draft status had they stayed one more year.

Now this would be considered a form of evolution and make no mistake at some point will happen. What OP is talking about isn't evolution, but someone just wanting to game the system which has been around since man.

It won't be long before you hear a kid say - "I'm staying for my senior year. I can't afford to go to the NFL..."

It's an addiction we just can't quit, hence why we hope it comes crashing down to force us into other alternatives.

Honestly can't recall ever seeing ivy league games on TV

with technology these days, i'd be shocked if there wasn't a way to watch at least the majority of the games.

Eliminate all athletic scholarships. Create an NFL farm system which is not associated with academic institutions. The infrastructure is in place. The Brazos Valley Ramblers at Kyle Field....part of the Houston Texans system.

Because it creates even more "free agency"....making it difficult for coaches to out together a roster with so many unknowns.

The portal has already made it the wild west with perpetual free agency.

Why a kid can sign a scholarship contract and break it with zero repercussions I have no idea.

They should start to treat college scholarships like professional contracts.

You want to sit out because ur coach won't release u? Cool.

The school u signed with has rights to your services until u fulfill them. No draft. No other schools.

But it should also go the other way- a school signs a scholarship player, you can't yank the scholarship prematurely unless they agree.

If u remove a underperforming athlete from the team, they get their free education, but no longer count against the school's allotted scholarships.

Yep. 20 years ago I'd look at the Harvard - Yale game and smdh, saying "I hope that's never us."

But now things are much clearer to me: our socially elite brethren foresaw the inevitable transformation of college football into pop music decades ago and steered their beloved clear of yet another scam that now consumes vast swaths of Middle America's time and money. As usual.

Players should 100% be allowed to return to college if they aren't happy with draft position or go undrafted

I definitely think undrafted is a slam dunk, but I think the player should have to declare in advance that they want the right to go back if they don't like their draft position. NFL teams shouldn't get burned if they use a pick on someone that decides to go back. Or maybe that team maintains their rights the next year.

My daughter is a Yale fan. We watch all their games unless it's at the same time as the Aggies. It's not national broadcast, quality play by play, in depth analysis type stuff, but they are streamed on the ESPN+ platforms.

Those games are actually quite enjoyable to watch. The players for the most part don't have NFL aspirations, so it's not such a me first attitude. Their ability to play football was the catalyst that got them the opportunity to further their education at a school they may not have had the opportunity to otherwise. And when the days at their Ivy League are over, they will go on about their life. I rather enjoy it.

Like baseball?

Ok so can we bring back JFF and Mike Evans for their last 2 years of eligibility? Myles Garrett has a year left as well. I know these guys play or played in the NFL but why should that matter?

With the guy in Florida playing for his 9th year what's to stop guys from deciding to play longer than their eligibility? Dak can't win in the playoffs so he is going to play for Ole Miss next year. (I know he played for Miss St). Watson returns to Clemson. What a mess.

You say you wanted evolution
The ape was a great big Hit
You say you want a revolution, man, and I say that you're full of sh**

College basketball - can return if undrafted
College baseball - can be drafted anywhere from No. 1 down and return for Sr year if you don't like the money/team - giving those players the most flexibility and leverage going pro and negotiating signing bonuses
College football - once you declare words mean something, no take backs.

Seems fair.

Been to a lot of Ivy League games. They're still a lot of fun.

I enjoyed following my friend's son's career, and saw many exciting fun games.
