I don't see how a private equity firm taking a percentage ownership in a public football program is legal. It certainly isn't ethical. LSU would probably spin off a new entity to house the athletic department. As is, athletic departments are supposed to be self suifficient and not rely on taxpayer funds that filter into the school.

It would interesting to see exactly what form this new entity would take, and how it would interact with the university regarding things like facilities, athlete housing, etc. Quote
Irishman Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 Unbelievable……I had long thought the NCAA was on a path to ruin itself, but damn, the courts are trying hard to do so with this nonsense. Quote

This topic blows my mind. Can't make an NFL roster as a UFA? Then go BACK to college? Sure, it you're working on and advanced degree or just trying to finish out your Bachelor's. But, to play football again? What a joke. 1 Quote

Sure, it you're working on and advanced degree or just trying to finish out your Bachelor's. But, to play football again? What a joke. Just watched McAfee interview Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus represents a receiver for the Browns from Ole Miss. He is still in camp with the Browns, but Rosenhaus is working to see that he would be eligible to go back to Ole Miss. In other news, the players who were granted eligibility like Daly from IU have lost that eligibility. Quote
Boilernation Posted Monday at 11:19 PM Posted Monday at 11:19 PM (edited) LOL...And of course it would be Lane Kiffin who wants to bring in that WR. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ole-miss-fbi-sweep-bugs-lane-kiffin-lsu/ Edited Monday at 11:20 PM by Boilernation 2 Quote
Muda69 Posted Tuesday at 05:39 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:39 PM https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49721908/sources-big-ten-allow-players-return-nfl Quote The Big Ten is set to pass a rule Tuesday that stops players returning from the NFL from playing for one of its schools, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel. Any player who has declared for the NFL draft and did not withdraw, appeared on an NFL roster or signed a contract with a pro league cannot be on a Big Ten roster, sources told Thamel. The Big Ten's athletic directors have unanimously approved the rule, sources told Thamel, but the conference's Faculty Athletic Representatives still need to vote in favor of the proposal to formally establish it as a conference rule. The result of that vote is expected to be revealed at some point Tuesday, sources told Thamel. ... Good. At least an appearance of a spine from the Big Ten. 2 Quote

When NIL came to be, no one foresaw borderline NFL players going back to college … because the NIL $$ exceed the NFL’s rookie pay scale. I sincerely hope this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back … and causes someone to grab college football by the throat and shake some common sense into it. As many have observed, the current model is unsustainable. 2 Quote
Irishman Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago This guy seems like with far fewer rules than there ever were, he still finds ways to bend them. The Browns coach the other day even said Kiffin contacted him a couple weeks ago about Wright’s status. Willing to bet he was encouraging Monken to cut him asap. Quote
