Probably. You're just going to have a bunch of kids jumping around schools trying to max out the NIL and never play a meaningful snap. It's going to be a weird couple of years until this shit gets settled.

Here's to Nebraska making a run this year. The talent is 100% there. Now it's down to coaching.

Those kids are probably not good anyway. Otherwise, they would be maxing their NFL prospects first, because NFL endorsement money is going to be bigger.

Then again, for long term health, it's better to max NIL money, not play football and just use college to launch a different career.

Word is the mannings we’re fine with a red shirt year. Less hits taken. Lines up when ewers would presumably leave for the nfl. The 3 schools he was honestly considering are all loaded (Bama Georgia Texas) so it’s not outrageous to think he would have sat a year at any of them imo

With the way 5 star QBs are getting chewed up and spit out at Georgia tho probably best for development he didn’t go there. None of their top rated guys have produced since stafford

Also I’m a hater

I was going to comment on this earlier but I completely forgot. I don't mind...but it looks like it may be half the damn Pac-12. Say goodbye to the NCAA and prepare for collegiate USFL.

That's going to change the paradigm of college in north America. The big ten is a larger research alliance than sports conference and usc/ucla represent a massive chunk of cash and a huge boost to the financial strength of all the schools.

You want to see the merge of wheat and corn? That's what we're going to see.

Definitely, the Big Ten takes their academic research seriously. I believe the only current school there that's consistently ranked higher in academics than USC/UCLA is Northwestern. So it's pretty good for financial/academic/research reasons as well. And they might as well get Stanford and Berkeley too.

And Nebraska gets to play in the Rose Bowl again.

i think the bigger implication as you said is that because UCLA is leaving the UC system to join the big ten; it might cause a knock-on effect for the school system in general.

They're leaving the Pac-12. I don't think they're leaving the UC system. UC Berkeley is the only other UC in the Pac-12 anyway.

Baker is now a Panther for a conditional 5th. Who do you think starts the year as the starter and finishes? I think Darnold will start, Baker will come it and some point but not stick. And I think the Panthers will have a different starter, likely a high pick rookie next year.
