“Maserati Marv” will reportedly get $20M to play his senior year at Ohio State. Georgia QB Carson Beck apparently has an NIL deal worth “well over $1M” to stay another year in Athens.
College football as we've known it is over. Between conference realignment, NIL deals and possibly even player salaries, the transfer portal, and players opting out of scheduled bowl games, it's not the same. And starting next year, there will be 12 teams in the playoffs, with games played in a bracket, tournament-style like in college basketball. I don't even know if there will be bowl games next year outside of the playoffs, although I suspect that there's too much money being made on the bowl games for the NCAA to totally discontinue them.
I’m all for the college athletes who actually play the game getting their fair share of the huge revenues their colleges earn. But this system is going to result in a few well-endowed schools shelling out the big bucks for the best players, and smaller schools in less affluent markets unable to compete.
This is good news for the Big 10 and the SEC. This is bad news for the MAC and the Sun Belt Conference. The rich will get richer but the poor will die on the vine.
Ohio State ruined college football. Ohio State fucks up everything.
