I get the spirit was to allow student-athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness but that's not what is going on right now. It's unabated Free Agency but unlike other PROFESSIONAL leagues, there is no possibilty of recouping assets. State sponsored and subsidized programs invest in students, and athletes, only to see them leave as soon as they can while the state, tax payers, etc. are left holding the bill.

I get the initial concept of NIL, like where Terrell Pryor could sign autographs and get paid for it. Or someone could receive some proceeds from their jersey sales. Not so Texas boosters who people have never heard of could pay their 4th string, scout team, offensive linemen $100,000 on top of their out of state tuition, room and board, food, etc.

For any program offering more than a certain amount in pay for play, scholarships should be abandoned, athletes should pay their way, and students who qualify for aid through SCHOLAR-ship and their contribution to society as a whole should be rewarded. Pay the mathletes, not the athletes.

And this is a place actually paying players (not through NIL, but legitimate contracts) could solve this. Make a player sign a 4 year contract and if they want to break it to transfer, make the new school pay a buyout like we have for coaches when a school wants to end the contract.

Still means you need more money to compete, but provides rewards for small schools who are good at developing talent.

Another reason the have alls will split from the ncaa and make their own rules. No ones gonna tell them they can’t raid the small schools.

But who is going to control the Confederacy? They claim they hate the NCAA but guess what? They are the NCAA. They will make a new version of the NCAA and be subject to the very lawsuits they filed AGAINST the NCAA. Effectively harming themselves and stopping them from being able to make any sort of enforceable rules.

But two things are for certain.

1. Rules banning G5 teams from the playoff will be fine
2. Rules allowing for tampering with G5 players will be fine

Marshall would beat Coastal Community College by 30 with Huff at RB.

I severely doubt that if we played right now, Marshall wouldn't come out on top.

Keep in mind, Marshall might have single-handedly played the toughest schedule of anybody in the conference this year, literally only one team on our entire conference or out of conference slate finish below 500. Our FCS opponent finished number five, so we actually played a pretty brutal schedule.

I think we're right now closer to the team that lost by a touchdown to NC State then we are to the team that got curb stomped once again by Super Saiyan peak Coastal Carolina mid season.

is crack going through WV right now again? Troy played Kansas who was RANKED, and got some quality wins, USA played and beat a good OKST team, on top of their schedule, APP/ODU/JMU played decent to good ACC teams, CCU played a good UCLA on top of the east, what are you smoking bro?

Do you have to make a package deal for this guy? I mean, aren't his kids also playing for Coastal?

You really need to chill.

Nothing I said is incorrect, we probably played the toughest schedule again based on the fact we only had one below 500 team on the schedule.

Heck man, you're not doing yourself any favors if you can't have a discussion at the adult table without throwing arrows.

I don’t know. Last year we fell apart because our head coach and most of the assistants were leaving. We also faced Cignetti rage when we played JMU both times in the last game of the regular season liking to make a statement - I’m not sure how many teams would look much better than we did in the same circumstances.

This is a much better response than the other poster.

Yeah, IDK. Both of our programs have their warts. Seemingly mid season Marshall and end of season Coastal are weirdly consistent in their dips.

Your definition of a great defense is very liberal. The chickens gave up 56 points to JMU when the outcome of the game would have placed them in the championship game. They had everything to play for.

How about trying this… your team and your coach SUX. You got your azz handed to you. Bad play calling
Fix your play calling and the chickens will only lose 56-21 next year.

Troy played Kansas State and got SMOKED.

And if this UCLA was good, I guess UNC and Kansas State were National Championship Contenders? UVA wasn't "good" by any measure either.

And that VT team was clearly better than UVA. JMU had a very, very soft OOC schedule.

Marshall and App both had relatively difficult scheduled. Marshall was a touchdown off of 9-3 NC State and beat a 7-5 Virginia Tech team. App lost in Double-OT to UNC, lost on a blocked field goal touchdown return to Wyoming who ended up being quite good, and both had ECU who statistically had one of the best defenses in the country.

I just don't know how saying Marshall had one of the hardest OOC schedules is wrong. It's pretty much a fact.

It's not a CLT burner. He's been on Coastals site for a long time. He apparently became a football fan like 3 years ago so his first posts were just asking questions about the sport.

Now he's got it all figured out. Probably a 16 year old. Give him a break.
