He doesn't need NIL money, can live in Austin and is basically guaranteed to get some play next year and then have the reigns for 2-3 after that. If he hits the portal he's a dumb dumb. As long as the path to starting is clear more guys need to stick around.

I really doubt Arch Manning completes his college education

If you are generating money for a corporation through labor, you should be paid for your labor. I don’t care if you play quarterback at Michigan or are a backup on the track team at Austin Peay.

Pay workers. If they had done so properly first, their programs wouldn’t be collapsing every other year.

College football players need to be paid for their labor but this argument sort of falls apart when you consider a whole bunch of other college sports that cost more than they make. If the kids on the badminton team or whatever were being paid based on the value of their labor they’d owe the school money.

The big money college sports simply exist in a different world than all of the other college sports but need to be treated the same to comply with basic notions of fairness. The only solutions to the problem are going back to the days when we pretended they were amateurs and penalized them for taking money to get Taco Bell, or split them off into essentially a semi pro league and do away with the entire fiction that they’re student athletes. But turning them from de facto professionals into actual professionals sure isn’t going to make the issues with roster churn and competitive imbalance any better.

I think a lot of fans who were theoretically in favor of more player agency and players getting paid for the value their labor creates are now realizing that these things fundamentally change the sport in ways they don’t like and are trying to find a way to unring the bell, but only halfway. Which I sympathize with, but I don’t think there’s any way to square the circle of “paid amateur professional student athletes with the same freedom to choose where they go as coaches have but also teams must be able to maintain stable rosters and 3rd parties shouldn’t be able to induce players to leave with money.”

Pretty sure this guy isn't generating a fraction of a cent

a massive percentage of corporations in all manner of industries are operating at a constant loss and still paying their workers, even if they have forty divisions and only one happens to turn a profit (or none, even, in the case of something like warner bros.)

when you see a problem of payment for labor and start to rationalize why the millionaires and billionaires at the top can’t possibly pay their water polo players or whatever even just minimum wage, you are doing too much for them.

I’m excited that Tennessee has the QB situation wrapped up with 5 stars for the nest four years, barring disaster. Hopefully they can sort out the secondary.

As someone who has played a good amount of the last three Madden’s in a row, they’ve gotten much more stable performance/glitch-wise as this generation has gone on. I would be totally stoked if College Football 25 is just Madden 24 with the college assets and music.

Also bonus: surely there’s no MUT in EACF to have to navigate around just to play my fuckin’ franchise mode.

Tennessee had a massive influx of hispanic folks over the past 10-15 or so years. South Nashville was a center of awesome food trucks/stands when I lived there. It’s a genuine letdown when we travel somewhere and want Mexican food, I don’t know how people live without it.

Most restaurants still offer the Americanized versions of whatever tex-mex people typically expect but it’s still head and shoulders above the poo poo we’d get when I was a kid. And you can find the genuine articles more readily available than you can other places.

Yeah this will be the year of the ps5 for me. So it’s fully backward compatible? I thought about switching to Xbox over it, but that may be enough to keep me sucked in.

I think there's literally like a handful of games that don't work in backwards compatibility, but yeah, it's also pretty much a ps4

"Number of guys that went in the draft" is one of those things that I never see the value in. Everyone with more than five guys drafted will be in exactly the same spot in two or three years: a player or two that worked out and a herd of guys that fell out of the bottom of the practice squad.

seems like it would be a good selling point in recruitment
