Baylor's Dave Aranda gave a blunt answer at Big 12 media days on why the Bears are finding success on the recruiting trail.
And the fans that go to the games will be paying for it in the near future. Expect to see dramatic multi year prices increases on tickets soon.But most on here don't want to do that personally.
Already do. It's called the seat premium.And the fans that go to the games will be paying for it in the near future. Expect to see dramatic multi year prices increases on tickets soon.
Why?And the fans that go to the games will be paying for it in the near future. Expect to see dramatic multi year prices increases on tickets soon.
They can't push it too much. The tickets are already on the high side as far as cfb tickets go.And the fans that go to the games will be paying for it in the near future. Expect to see dramatic multi year prices increases on tickets soon.
Because there’s a proposal out there for up to 20% of the athletic department budget that goes towards paying players.Why?
It won’t be unique to Iowa. They’re just going to find that tipping point, but still obviously want to maximize their revenue.They can't push it too much. The tickets are already on the high side as far as cfb tickets go.
They could also use some of the record breaking TV money they are getting to pay the players or cut the ridiculous salary of the head coach.It won’t be unique to Iowa. They’re just going to find that tipping point, but still obviously want to maximize their revenue.

I don’t think you are in the minority…..I know I'm likely in the minority here ... but this seems to portend the breaking-point of my fandom.
Collegiate sports has now become the "G-league" that people actually care about. I'm not against players getting paid (for legit reasons ... relating to merch and getting a percentage of tv-dollars) ... but I also value amateurism. I like watching young people who still have a love for the game. I think that we're seeing this fall to the wayside.

Everything I despise about pro sports has now filtered to the college level - free agency.
Yes - players should get a piece of the very big D1 pie … but now you can legally “buy” your way to the top. It’s exactly what Oregon did years back when Phil Knight tossed a bunch of Nike money to the school. I used to live in Oregon and fandom was equal to a JC program. Now it has the best facilities and continues to rake in players.
I still will choose college over pro any day - but the playing field is definitely shifting.
Still some loyal players. Pretty sure Castro, Higgins and Jackson could have easily gone elsewhere for more money.things are now very much like the pros; the university can't sign players to 3 year deals, however; players are free to leave at any time & be immediately eligible to play at their next destination
it takes money to not only acquire players but to keep them.
tampering now is rampant.
pay to play totally sucks
And they will have to do that as well but it’s like everything else. If they want to stay competitive, they’re going to have to maximize that 20% including increasing revenue from the fans.They could also use some of the record breaking TV money they are getting to pay the players or cut the ridiculous salary of the head coach.
They can certainly try but I think some will just opt out and watch on TV. The ticket prices and donations to keep tickets is very much on the high end as of now. I believe if much more is asked for people will just say it's not worth it.And they will have to do that as well but it’s like everything else.

This is supposed to come from the gigantic new TV contract. Thats where the $$$ is. They can only bleed the fans so much.....Because there’s a proposal out there for up to 20% of the athletic department budget that goes towards paying players.
Perfectly encapsulates today's football. It's all about who spends the most. It'll be interesting to see how far Ohio State goes this year with how much they spent. Makes you wonder if they'll eventually incorporate some kind of cap?

And there shouldn’t be…as long as it’s truly NIL. Jack Booster paying Johnny Quarterback $500k to sign 10 autographs isn’t NIL, it’s pay-to-play. The NCAA needs to find a way to eliminate pay-to-play while allowing players the legit opportunity to cash in on their name, image, and likeness.there will be a cap when it comes to revenue sharing.
but, as far as I know, there is no cap when it comes to NIL
But do they win?
What used to be B1G football is now simply a different branch of pro football.It is what it is at this point.
I find it odd people would even want to donate to programs taking in $100+ million dollars to help pay $9 million dollar coaches and millionaire players.
Frankly, donations to power 5 programs should not be tax deductible.
All those guys play for PP and know they are getting drafted.Still some loyal players. Pretty sure Castro, Higgins and Jackson could have easily gone elsewhere for more money.
They priced me out years agoAnd the fans that go to the games will be paying for it in the near future. Expect to see dramatic multi year prices increases on tickets soon.
