When I hear about the possibility of P.E. Firm’s pumping in outside money while knowing college tuition is unaffordable for most, I start to understand why everyone is so screwed up nowadays. We were once better than this but that ship has sailed.
*Basically its going to become Private Equitys version of "Minor League NFL",* with - an 18-20 team SEC Conference (equivallent to NFL AFC) - a 16-20 team Big Ten Conference (equivallent to NFL NFC). Conference winners then meet at the January SuperBowl 2.0 (National Championship). Only difference is... non star players still wont get paid, while Private Equity will be making $5 Billion per year and Big Media $50Billion.
Nothing says “great idea” like getting private equity firms involved in large educational institutions. Or are we just assuming “college” is now a minor league sports organization? Cardale Jones was just ahead of his time.

FBS hasn't been an amateur sport in about a decade. Universities make billions off these kids. If the NCAA didn't act fast, it would've been the end of them so that's why they decided to just cut the deal & retroactively pay athletes. FBS would eventually get a players' union & all sorts of things eventually.

This is a DREAM BEST CASE scenario. More Likely scenario (with positive thinking) there will be a 20 team SEC and 20 team Big Ten. Conference winners meet in the National Championship.
@The Rich Eisen Show - I'm sorry but you've revealed the hypocrisy elephant in the room. The sports industry has made a mockery of contracts and promises on paper. Multi-million dollar contracts are routinely busted up by things like "I don't want to play here any more" "trade me, or i'm sitting out!" "I know we promised you that you're our guy . . . but we've traded you" "Don't draft me or i'll sit out"
Do you know who really wins? Attorneys. Players are going to start hiring attorneys to force schools into making offers on paper- making them legal contracts- in order to protect themselves against being promised NIL money and then not getting it after going through transfer portal.
Wish we could just skip to the end Big ten: Ohio state, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn st, Maryland, Rutgers, Miami, Florida st, Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, usc, and UCLA. Sec: Alabama, Auburn, ole miss, Mississippi st, LSU, Olkahoma, Arkansas, Texas , Texas A&M, Missouri, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, and Clemson
Rich should always be in a suit and tie like a professional. He’s dressed like an out of work uncle at a kid’s birthday party and it’s negatively effecting the show

That’s exactly what college football is and has been for the last 80 years. Now it’s out in the open. And there’s a lot more money.
Find you someone that loves you the way Rich loves Greg Sankey.
Rich’s worshipping of Greg Sankey is becoming disgusting
How dare you say that about the commissioner of college football.
Looking forward to this

Public institutions getting flooded with outside, profit-seeking capitalists. This has famously never had any disastrous consequences. C'mon, Rich.

It’s the other sports in College that I worry about… when u have more than 12-14 games in a season… that’s a lot of travel! 😮
