It’s basically allowing guys to showcase what they can do at smaller schools, with an open license to be poached at anytime.

This will effectively kill the G5.

It’s to a point where you expect an alternative narrative or outcome from these things because the schools and conferences have NEVER looked out for the kids themselves. There’s always a benefit to the school and this is no different.

I would hate being a football player right now. Turnover and the other rules in D1, you get wooed and worked over by a program and then they change priorities or plans. Rather than do the noble thing, which had been done for years, and kept the game competitive, strong, and stable, now you just want to be able to delete kids at will. They’re hardly students anyway.

And it’s typical. The AD’s are saying they are committing to what the kids want. Right, like you get nothing out of this.

I think D1 is beyond saving. But, at this point, now I’m starting to look at the NFL and thinking...why aren’t you doing anything about this? Get your g-d development league together and adopt what baseball and hockey has already. Not doing anything and D1 doing this? The sport will be doomed.
