NIL still has a cap right? I think eventually most big ACC schools start maxing out the fully amount.  Probably a little too early to stay.  Just like this past year, I think the moving is far from over.  And the SEC frankly needs to swap out some teams. 

Top 2 SEC teams did go down though.  Go Tigers 

If there’s a cap, let me know the ceiling. Michigan offered Bryce Underwood over 10 million to go to Michigan ( stealing him from LSU ) 

ACC schools won’t be able to compete with these schools.

That will give more ammo for people to loathe UNC.  That said, I doubt it happens.  I can't see Bill coddling a bunch of mama's boys.  Not UNC per se, but college aged guys in general.  He stepped on toes in New England and made full grown men feel some sort of way...and these were pros.  Belechick just isn't the mentoring type of guy a program needs to foster teenagers into men.

Yeah it’s an extremely odd development IMO.  Bill must really want to coach again.  I would think UNC would want a younger coach this time and Bill has never recruited before.  Obviously would be fascinating to see what he could do though.

Bill would fuging hate the NIL and recruiting lmao

I think next season is when power 5 schools are going to be operating under a 20.5 million cap

Tons of articles,  that’s just the first I hit, probably a lot better ones.  You can just google 20.5 million cap for NIL.  Dabo was talking about it the other day and how schools wont be able to out spend them.  That’s a total sports NIL cap.  So you might start to see some real division on who might choose to focus on basketball vs football.

Let's hope something is done,, but I can't see those  WITH the money making it so those with out money , will be on a level playing field. 

And what "student"  will  sue the 5 power conferences for limiting their use of NIL , 

Something has to give.  

Good article here from  Duke , The Chronicle

Yeah, I'm all for the kids getting paid for their services that bring in a lot of money for everyone else but they're going to have to figure out some sensible guidelines or they're gonna kill the golden goose eventually.

The Golden Goose is us.  Baseball is in the process of doing this to fans by making everything a PAY to watch.  People viewing has drop in large numbers from the days o WTBS the Braves,  WOR the Mets,  WGN  Cubs,   and they wonder why the younger generation doesn't watch.  If college football become Pay to Watch,  the golden goose will disappear. IF cable, satellite, streaming services keep raising the rates to watch ( so they can pay ESPN , SEC Big10 networks etc,,  it'll too lose viewers.   We already have ala carte selections of what we watch.. hence we don't watch 7 home shopping networks.

Let the speculation begin!

 

Shedeur Sanders posted a video on IG driving by the Raiders stadium with the caption "Legendary".

 

I thought Prime was staying at Colorado,but a chance to coach his son in that market big city bright lights. Seems like something Prime couldn't turn down. Also that beast of a TE they have Bowers.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen you got your wish no more Prime in college football. You pushed him out now get ready to let the circus come to the NFL.

 

 

Raiders will replace the Ravens as my bandwagon team if this happens. Sorry I'm just being real about my fandom.

If he does come to the NFL I'd expect nothing less than the Raiders. I suspect the new team HQ would be moved to Circus Circus.

It would be business as usual for the Raiders ... failure.

Haha I love the doubters

Looking forward to seeing Ashton Jeanty in a Panthers uniform.  I'd love to see Dan pick him just for the outrage and the memes.  But seriously what a player.
