that would work if homer judges across all of college sports weren't so incompetent.

[u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman → u/FylntCoal]

Judges are right. Schools need to pay more for free agency and eligibility restrictions and can’t collude to deny fair market value for those things. That shit ain’t free

[u/FylntCoal → u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman]

that would apply if this was an actual professional league, and let's be honest the only reason its not is because of the "tradition " and actual laws that would need to be followed.

[u/JX_JR → u/FylntCoal]

The players are getting paid to play. It is a professional league. 

[u/FylntCoal → u/JX_JR]

then the players need to unionize, the issue here is that there is no possibility of that happening the way things are now.

[u/SituationSoap → u/FylntCoal]

then the players need to unionize

You understand that the players in many states are legally forbidden from doing this, right? You're basically arguing a huge Catch-22.

[u/FylntCoal → u/SituationSoap]

thats my point, the way things are now its never going to happen. the public won't even support this, cause its "college ball". until the public understands this, it'll never happen. things will either get worse or players may end up losing a lot they've gained, and im not talking about the top dogs, im talking about the lower tier players

[u/SituationSoap → u/FylntCoal]

thats my point, the way things are now its never going to happen

What's never going to happen?

the public won't even support this

The public won't give a shit in ten years.

[u/FylntCoal → u/SituationSoap]

the people don't a give a shit now, its just the sports people that do. you think they give a shit about this when there are a lot more things to worry about? i just find this entertaining with no dog in the fight. that's why you're here too. im just here for funsies my man.

[u/SituationSoap → u/FylntCoal]

Actual, genuine question: are you high?

[u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman → u/FylntCoal]

They tried. Dartmouth basketball was well on its way to establishing a DI union, then had to pause in November 2024 when worthless stains elected a hostile orange turd who could just be bribed into attacking them

[u/FylntCoal → u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman]

well obviously, but you and others know some people don't think logically. remember, NIL occurred post turd and before turd came back, we're now seeing when you can finally be open about things without repercussions, its wild that Saban of all people is for "save college sports" when his ass was paying players day 1 but a lot cheaper and without the fear of your player having the right to leave too whenever

[u/BoldElDavo → u/FylntCoal]

It applies because these players are being paid. The NCAA is riding the cute little "amateurs making NIL" line still, but we know they're not really amateurs.

[u/SituationSoap → u/BoldElDavo]

And they haven't been amateurs for decades.

[u/binzoma → u/FylntCoal]

just need a fairly negotiated agreement to handle the massive amounts of revenue and share it fairly across the sport/to the labour and this all goes away

will it ever happen? no. will they stop trying to make more and more money on top of the already huge piles of money? also no

[u/FylntCoal → u/binzoma]

money talks at the end of the day. unfortunately things only seem to change when money is involved. until then, im just here for the show

[u/dros1017 → u/FylntCoal]

Agreed. There's no reason why they should even be involved

[u/Usual-Web7597 → u/FylntCoal]

Never attribute to incompetence what is obviously malice

[u/jacquesmachina → u/FylntCoal]

How is it incompetent?

The current "rules" are a sham. So judges don't have a choice but to rule in favor of the players.

We need real federal legislation to fix CFB.
