Arena 2024-25 NCAA Football Discussion

Ole Miss apparently has self-imposed a one year bowl ban. This to go along with their self-imposed 20+ year SEC Championship Game ban.

 

I know, but I'll believe it when I see it. *cough, cough* Miami (recently, not the 90's)

 

After the unintended consequences involving the SWC when SMU got DP'ed, I don't think we'll be seeing that particular sanction any time soon (despite the fact that USC, Miami, and Penn State all deserved it over the course of the last decade).

Show Cause, almost certainly.

 

So, there will be a hiring freeze regarding hiring Freeze?

 

Former Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes passes at age 79.

 

Nick Satan...

Enough said.

I'm all for athletes getting paid and believe that it will be the next big thing that shakes up the NCAA. Certain schools obviously cannot afford to pay their players, so it will be the haves versus the have nots. I think that this will result in the Super Conferences taking place with probably around 64 or so schools with 16 teams in each of these Super Conferences; so if it's 4 Super Conferences, that would make it 64 schools or if it's 5, then that would make it 80 schools. Either way is good for me, but I would say that 80 is probably the limit for the number of schools that would have the resources to pay players.

Now, as for how much each person should make, that is a good question. Football will be number one for an athlete because it makes the most money. Basketball second, baseball third, and then the other sports are going to be I believe hit or miss as to whether the athletes could even make money or not. I think that the big three in sports is where most of the money will go with football probably receiving at least 75% of the amount, and then basketball and baseball each receiving around 10%, leaving 5% for the other sports or for the schools to use as they see fit.

I think that this all starts once the current BCS contract ends which is 2025. So, I think that if this is going to even happen, then 2026 is the first year that it could start. The schools probably need to decide at least 5 years ahead of time if they are even thinking of forming these Super Conferences away from the NCAA as it currently exists; so I would expects rumblings to occur around 2020 or so.

 

Wonder if all roads lead back to Joe Mixon?

 

Why didn't they do this at the end of last season instead of just a few weeks before the new season starts?

 

Houston Nutt, a former Ole Miss head coach, was suing the university for trying to implicate him for their NCAA violations. His lawyers discovered the calls during the discovery process.

 

Yep, did in a certain former Atlanta Falcons coach in his college job.
