I think this is uniquely college football.
And I think almost, maybe this is wrong, but I think most programs would have acted similarly to what Texas Tech.
And then the blowback is always everybody else pointing like, we would never do that.
You know, like, oh, that's over the line.
It's like, that's so college football.
And to be honest, I think that this was in hindsight, we might be looking back on this in two, three, four or five years and think to ourselves, this was the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of pushing federal legislation.
And we saw how quickly then that bill that was introduced into the Senate now is going to go to the Senate floor because without antitrust exemption status, no.
enforcement entity would be able to enforce their own rules right whether it's the NCAA or the college sports commission whatever entity we all decide is going to enforce the rules in college football they have zero teeth without antitrust protection I personally believe that we need to collectively bargain with players that's my personal belief I know there's a lot of people within the sport that don't want that because they don't want the employee status that comes with that territory
But I will tell you that without the ability to enforce rules, then this is a house of cards.
Well, I totally agree.
And by the way, and this might be opening up Pandora's box, guys, but what I see in the future, if I'm just putting on my hat and thinking, where is all this pointed right now?
Let's take, for example, this idea of five years to play, right?
And you just get five years to play.
And I actually like that a lot.
Well, that would mean, at least I would hope, that a school could sign a player to a five-year contract coming out of high school.
Well, let's say he gets drafted within that five-year contract.
Wouldn't it become just like European soccer where the NFL's got to pay a transfer fee to that school in order to get the rights to that player?
Like, that's not that far-fetched.
And candidly, that's probably an avenue that college football should go down so that they can recoup some of that
benefit that they're giving straight to the NFL.
