In all honesty, a lot of it was probably due to the Pop Tart marketing. I know a lot of people on here don't like it, but I have friends and family who are very casual college football fans who were excited to see what happened with the live mascot toasting.

Agreed. As much as I am not a fan of corporate marketing, they are good at their jobs.

I think those are pretty good numbers considering they were competing against NFL games

ACC said pause to FSU? They might be onto something actually

I don't like it, this will negatively impact high school kids. 4 years aligns with a degree, they should stick with it.

Cam McCormick might get another year!

It’s already 5 in a way

Doing away with Redshirt year

Why are there any limits to eligibility? It’s as arbitrary as the year sit out rule for transfers. It’s going to get challenged at some point, and after that you’ll have certain players spending a decade playing college football or basketball.

That actually could happen and wouldn’t be a bad thing, if the ruling is quick enough.

Well, they have to set something

Hope they address Medical Redshirts too

At some point the NFL is going to stop looking at CFB as a partnership and instead as competition, as player salaries escalate to the point of near parity with the NFL. It will be interesting to see how they respond.

I assumed this was in addition to a redshirt year but might be wrong

Hopefully, the NFL is planning to create a real farm system. Give the NCAA something to worry about, as they have a complete monopoly on players 17-21.

Paying players is great, until another business comes along and does the same.

There is no rule that says a semi-pro has to represent a university.

This is why the G League, Overtime Elite, and other International leagues are in business.

Isn't this what the XFL is? Though it's not affiliated with the NFL.

Does the NCAA have a pension program?

I don't think so. I'm just talking ****, because at this point, anything seems possible.
