“College Student Football League.”

😂

The further this all gets from anything resembling actual student-athletes, the more insistent they get about using the term.

And, the proposal has the backing of such movers and shakers as the president of West Virginia and the AD at Texas Tech. Oh, and Grant Hill is involved.

It’s not great, but it is what it is. I just want IU be along for the ride and getting our cut of the $.

The idea that all teams share money won't make it as all teams don't do the same things to be big time programs. IU has just started being a big time program and it took vision along with a new college President wanting a program and an AD willing to do what it takes.

Not sure how people think sharing will work. Texas didn't want to share evenly in the past (well documented) Had own TV network. Remember? Good luck with the concept of sharing fairly. Love to see it. Wouldn't bet on it. Go Hoosiers!

Some day the universities are going to take some power back from the sports side and say 'don't like it? get your own facilities'. B1G and SEC athletic directors better not get too big for their britches. The feds may be involved soon on revenue sharing, coaches and people in the game have asked for congress to act. Feds don't always play well with monopolies.

Feds from what I've observed maybe do 15% of their interjections decently, maybe. Maybe!

The only questions that have been in my mind since the B1G/Pac merger is... will Notre Dame join Conference ESPN, or Conference Fox? And where will the others filter in or drop to FCS?

Turning into Minor League NFL!
Soon the nfl may create a farm team system/developmental league approach that could help separate NCAA students from athletes.(adding to CFL/XFL perhaps) Some school football programs will dissolve/merge, or create their own non-school related rec leagues! Etc.

A lot of shit will be changing in the next decade or two! Enjoy our little run while it lasts, because collegiate sports will either keep growing into an uncontrollable monopoly that everyone will hate or crash and burn to nonexistence!

Purdue is sucking at the perfect time.
