Where are they now

I'm astounded by the people thinking this is a good idea. Can no one see the real world ramifications?
"Well, FCS athlete, you've shown the ability to play at the next level. Most guys here who play at a comparable level to you get about 75,000/year. We have six guys we are considering. If we offer you, we'd have to pay an additional amount(X) to your current school. So, unless you're willing to pay that out of your end and sign for $75K-X, we'll be going with one of the other choices."
Contrary to common belief, there is a finite amount of money and more kids looking to transfer than there are open spots at higher levels. Most kids that transfer from D1 have gone DOWNWARD to a lesser school. Some have given up a scholarship only to find themselves out of college football.
I understand when people see a lot of money changing hands and they want a taste. I'm against a "finder's fee" for lower college programs.
Good points Dog. This is kinda like some guy working at McDonalds proving his worth and getting an offer at Berkshire Hathaway, then McDonalds wanting a buyout.

There appears to be no limit to the ridiculousness of college football.
Hey Mickey. how about coaches give back a portion of their salary with a new team for players that follow them to their new schools.
Now what do you say?

I’d vote that all revenue sharing money owed to a player only be made available on the first day of the season on year 2 and beyond. That would reduce the transfer shenanigans, and let people earn their keep at the new school. Obviously, this can’t extend to the NIL blackbox.
I think they get the money at the end of the season AFTER their bowl game. If they dont play in the bowl their share gets cut.
I’m one of those people who need regulation, consistency, and structure. I have no problem, getting creative within an outline that’s laid out, but I still need a regulated game plan with consequences for those who don’t play within those regulations. I’ve been involved in situations that has this wild West scenario and it never seems to work out well in the end. It usually works out to situation where a few get much and many get little. And then eventually everything collapses. I hope a structure can be developed that circumvents this outcome. In my opinion, it needs to be done early before a great deal of damage is done.
Totally agree, redfred.
But are you talking about college football or our world in general?
Take your pick.Totally agree, redfred.

Ty Robinson selected in the 4th round, #9.
Want a good laugh? Shedeur Sanders still hasn't been picked. LOL

Just FYI... Ohio State has already had 10 selected through pick 123.
I'm going to go out on what I think is a pretty thick limb and say that Ty is going to have a very productive pro career. He stays healthy. He's big. He's fast. And he stays out of trouble. Throw in that he is really a team guy and you have a recipe for success. Providing he's smart with his money this should give him a good start in life.
