@LFGM1217 @nickatnocap You can’t make regulations over people that have no saying in it

@LFGM1217 @nickatnocap The thing that holds up everything for anyone with this whole ordeal is the fact that these athletes are not employees and they don’t have a seat at the table

An executive order can't fix college sports. And we should stop pretending capping an athlete's ability to earn without them having a seat at the table is the answer.

@FlocksKrypto @whodeyu To be fair it’s Joe’s fault that we’re picking 10th and not the sixth. He wanted to go out and play and win football games that only hurt our draft position

@whodeyu Cooked Joey B demanded a trade

This is a very Bengals draft I feel. A lot of disappointment. But just preparing you all for what it could be. Idk why but this feels spot on given how poor they’ve been at drafting.

@Dxc2026Dxc @nickatnocap Eventually the money will run out if they are spending more than they have. They aren’t the government, they can’t just print money, it has to come from somewhere.

@ImDatFish @nickatnocap Yes & No. PE is still in play for some of these conferences and schools, and that's just dumb & desperate. It's borrowed money with interest, which will eventually run out, but guess what they'll do? Find another investor to keep up with the Joneses. No school will just say no.

@Dxc2026Dxc @nickatnocap To kind of summarize that for you I will say you are correct it is not sustainable to keep going up and up which is why, like I said, eventually the market will start to level out. Schools will not be willing to pay more and more.

@ImDatFish @nickatnocap Once it settles? How about never. It's only getting worse. Sustainable? The asking price for an "average player" is going up. Schools are in debt. If you think what is going on is sustainable ...you're naive.

@Dxc2026Dxc @nickatnocap If you think that they will just continue to borrow money for forever to pay players then I’m afraid you’re the naïve one. No one is forcing them to pay them. At some point schools will start to say no

@Dxc2026Dxc @nickatnocap It has to settle eventually it’s just how economics work. Eventually there’s not enough money to pay the players more and more. I’m not naïve I just have common sense. Eventually there’s a point where schools cannot continue to outbid each other.

@TCUisbetter @mpw16 @Kim_Jong_Ilness @georgewrighster Someone with a triple digit IQ doesn’t make a lazy insult like the one you made 😂

@ImDatFish @mpw16 @Kim_Jong_Ilness @georgewrighster No I’m actually 28 and have a triple digit IQ so I see that unrestricted free agency for every player every year with no salary cap is awful for a league. Hence why none do it

Trump getting involved in college business just created more confusion. Instead of doing things the right way and forcing the leadership to find a resolution. He wants to executive order like he’s a KING to protect the conferences/NCAA and his golfing buddies power. Now schools have to decide do they ignore the presidential order or a court order that has already ruled on these matters? He knows it will get challenged in court and lose unless they can get a judge on the payroll. Now he can say he did “something” but the idiot judges and whacky system won’t let him fix it because “he knows best”. Smh.

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap A bunch of companies they own a large share of the market coming together to agree on rules like that go against the free market and therefore is illegal

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap says “oh, that one school is paying players. Well I can do that too and I can do $75k.” Then it continues to grow. That’s called a free market. Besides, what would actually happen is the schools would get sued to oblivion because what you just described is illegal.

@Keleven80 @nickatnocap I see that everywhere though so it’s a a very common counter that I see. People claiming that with these players getting a lot of money they should have to pay for their tuition. In reality if that were to happen they would just demand that they pay them enough to cover that

@ImDatFish @nickatnocap Relax it was parody, april fools hangover 😉

@nickaquino0629 @nickatnocap Simply because if a player says they only want a one year contract but you want to lock them in for two years they might just go to another school willing to do one year. That’s just a free market

@nickaquino0629 @nickatnocap The schools can cap themselves on how much they’re willing to spend but they cannot cap the players on how much they’re able to earn. That’s the big thing. Yes you would get revenue share, potentially longer contracts, etc with a CBA. The contracts might be harder

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap That’s fine I don’t have to change your mind. You have an opinion in your entitled to it. I’m just explaining to you how the real world works

@ImDatFish @nickatnocap bro, in no way shape or form do I think 18-20 yr old kids that don't know shit about life and really haven't proven anything should be getting millions of dollars. You will never change my mind.

@Suedehead455 @nickatnocap Not broken. People just don’t like the change and schools having to put in work. Eventually the market will settle.

@nickatnocap At least this is the first step. Current version of NCAAF is broken.

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap Deal with having to work to keep their players without having to pay them more. How would you feel if you were underpaid but couldn’t go to another employer to make the money that you are worth?

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap I also find it interesting that you referred to the players as soft when they are the ones getting paid fair market price for their skill set like most people want to get paid for their skill set in their regular jobs. Schools just don’t want to have to

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap More money. Have I not earned the opportunity to go play for a top-tier school and make a lot more money?

@hawkeyeheritage @nickatnocap But what if I get under recruited and go to a mid major school and do really well there. Then I move up to a bottom tier power conference team like Purdue and do really well there. Now it’s my junior year and I have Ohio State, Georgia, etc calling wanting to pay me even
