2024 Transfer Portal News - Please Respect My Decision

creating a compensation system that appeals to all will be extremely difficult.

drop the age limit for entering the NFL draft and allow schools to pay players directly with a cap enforced by the NCAA?

I'm not sold on if NIL should remain, unclear on how payments are actually being managed. there could be a trust fund type of system put in place or more boiler plate contracts provided.

on the topic of this thread, the main issue here is the one-transfer rule being dropped
 
Maybe mentioned elsewhere, but

Dream come true? The spring game is officially the Arrow Electronics Black and Gold game.
Arrow, which I wasn't familiar with, is a Fortune 500 company with a market cap of about $7B.
And their headquarters is in Centennial, CO.

Is Arrow and it's honchos the NIL source we've been looking for? If so, I'm buying one of whatever they sell

It's a small publicly-traded company.
 
Fortune 500 corporations don't fit your description.

I meant by market cap since that is what would be more relevant to your post. $7 billion. Fortune 500 is by revenue. They are a high-revenue, low-margin company. Thus, the company has annual revenue of $33 billion, but is only worth $7 billion. Established in the 30s, went public in the 60s. My point was (and I could be wrong) that it's unlikely there is a very wealthy donor from that company. Could just be a traditional sponsorship. It does look like there are some ties to the university.
 
I hope he finds the right mentor to reach him and he achieves everything he's capable of.
See, this is where these kids getting $mils have turned me from “man, he just needs a good mentor” to “go **** you self.” If you’re going to get paid more that I would make in 10 years, I give absolutely NO ****ING **** if they are an abject failure as a college football player (human…different story)
When kids committed and the program didn’t work, I supported them in finding a home that worked. But when all the money started flowing and the arguments were made that they were mature enough to handle it, all bets were off. ****’em all.

Why does money change your hope for them to mature and contribute?
