40 to 50 will be leaving + coaches.  Going to be crazy

This is a $&^# show. The NCAA has totally lost control of this thing. Personally feel that...

 

1.  If athletes want to be paid like adults, they should have to have a contract like an adult.

2. The terms of that contract should include a specified year that the athlete can transfer (after 1st, 2nd, 3rd year).

3. Athletes can only transfer after the specified year of their contract AND can only transfer one time without losing a year of eligibility.

4. Athletes who break the contract and transfer early will lose a year of eligibility & have to sit a year.

 

This isn't even free agency. Even in the pros you can't free agent every year. This is ridiculous.

Maybe this is too simplistic, but I see it as:

 

Private institutions are legally allowed to unionize (as of 2024 law). If Congress deems it such (staying away from the politics talk here, but note there are many constituents in power with ties to college football), so could public institutions.

 

Form a players union. Assign a standard freshman contract (terms and pay) as their rookie contract. Then following that year they can sign a short or long term contract with whoever they want. And within those contracts I guarantee there would be termination clauses.

 

And while we're at it, make the students pay for their own education with the salaries they'll be receiving. They're professionals now.

Not really broken up about program attrition in a program that is constantly defeating itself.

The next few months is going to bring about a lot of change in our program.  Both the coaching staff and roster will be much different.   Who will stay and who will go is ever changing.

 

Take a deep breath husker nation!

Need a bowl win to secure a winning season record, and build some momentum for 2025. GBR

And, Emmett Johnson says, "I'm Back!" after a quick foray in looking at the Transfer Portal. Glad he's 'N' and EJ has been pretty good the past few weeks with the new OC at the helm. GBR

This is the important part. Lose, and that narrative of "nine seasons since a winning record" lingers in every pregame/postgame talk for at least another year. Not a narrative we need lingering over our heads.
