Respectful and civil discussion of Delaware Football
Forum rules
1. Be respectful of our online community and contribute to an engaging conversation. We reserve the right to ban impersonators and remove comments that contain personal attacks, threats, or profanity, or are flat-out offensive.
2. Stay on topic. If you feel you really have something to add that doesn’t quite fit the current topic, start a new one.
3. Keep rebuttals and disagreements impersonal. You can disagree with someone respectfully without resorting to name-calling or other insults.
4. Do not single out players for criticism by name, number or position. These are 18-23 year-old kids that are trying their best while juggling a college class load. Let’s be supportive.
5. Remember always that players read these boards; players’ families read these boards; respective recruits read these boards; opposing fans read these boards. As a GoHens.net member, YOU represent Delaware Football to others. Please do so in a positive manner.
Direct compensation? As employees or contractors? Lots of legal technicalities. Title IX...but who gets to decide which players on which teams get paid? And schools colluding in a group (or different groups) to set prices/pay?
Someone get the Jaws theme song ready...there's going to be blood in the water.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS

[*]Ninety (90) FBS Scholarship QBs have entered the Transfer Portal. Doesn't include the FCS entries like UNH QB Brosmer going to Minnesota
Saw that. And big names too. This isn’t just guys wanting an opportunity to play and FCS and G5 guys moving to bigger programs.

Remember last summer when that tall 7-footer for Michigan basketball transferred from there to Kansas. Said because Kansas assured him he'd get 6 figures in NIL money, Michigan was promising that. That's just how it is now.
As for capping it, good luck with that. All of this blew up the way that it did precisely because schools were limiting players in terms of what they could make. It's not that easy to put a cap on that spigot now. Maybe if a school individually wants to limit compensation like that, or just doesn't aggressively pursue it, that's one thing. Getting a whole bunch of schools together to collectively do the same thing sounds an awful lot like collusion and would likely not do well in court.

Exactly.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Back up the money truck.

I agree with how much money schools make off the players that the players deserve some kind of compensation; but it needs to be restructured. redid, however you want to say it. I mean some players are in commercials for big companies already getting paid God knows how much and not even a Pro yet! Do they deserve to get paid more than those who are actually in the league already and have established themselves? Of course not.
Good idea when it came out, but is turning into a farce.

When did a full scholarship for a college education, become something of no value? Asking for a friend.
I ve been wondering the same thing and thought everyone forgot about this
When they started paying players I guess. I think if a student/athlete opts for NIL money, they should have to pay back the cost of their scholarship. Players that don't opt in for NIL money get a scholarship. Numbers of scholarships/NIL players per team stay the same. Just a thought and maybe it'd make athletes think twice about jumping ship so easily.

All of the above is worthy of discussion. There clearly are going to have to be some rules and regulations to NIL and paying athletes.
It will be interesting to see if the folks that usually abhor rules and regulations will support some here.

That would somewhat depend on their major...and what they decide to do with their education.
The good thing about FCS is that the majority of the players are actually trying to get an education. We'll have to see if that stays the same as we venture into the FBS pool.
