The SEC thread

Bru McCoy medically retires.

No mention of all the early problems he had at Texas and USC.

Seems like Knoxville was good for him. Too bad for him that he couldn't fulfill his NFL dream.

Bru McCoy makes stunning announcement on football future

By my count nine teams are going to have new starting QB's. That's a large number. There's liable to be some struggles from teams we wouldn't expect that from.

At least we're not the only one.

The new 105 roster limit and revenue sharing will further the hierarchy of college football.

If you aren't a big money blue blood institution, you will mostly be left on the outside looking in. Schools like ou will be at some disadvantage, but smaller non SEC/B1G will really be *ucked.

This is good for the top players, and good for schools like Texas, but probably not great for college football at large. I suspect in the coming years we will see lots of colleges eliminating their football programs as a result.

I think you'll still see some cinderellas, like Arizona State last year.

Nobody saw them coming. They were very good.

Perhaps, but as the advantages of big money blue bloods increases, it will become harder and harder for schools like that to succeed. When those schools do succeed, the players and coaches are likely to get offers from other schools, that will be difficult to ignore.

As impressive as Arizona State was last year, the odds of them sustaining that success are low, and they didn't even win any playoff games.

What he is saying is not surprising. I don't have the insight as others on the board, but I think we can all agree NCAA hasn't been the beacon of leadership.

They have been put in an impossible position, squeezed by the courts from any type of rule making or enforcement.

I'm not sure what college sports would look like without the NCAA, but we just might find out.

We might see some schools eliminate their football programs or just go to smaller conferences. I believe we will see a "premier" league and the rest. The rest will get schollies and that's about it. Maybe a few bucks from outside, local advertising. I just think there are too many kids that want to play football that believe they can make it to the big time or Pros if just given the chance. So we'll end up with a major league and minor (div 2 & 3) leagues. I think the major league teams will pick 5-10 HS kids a year and the rest will be portal players.

Does anyone wonder why schools want to leave NCAA?

NCAA, as it is, has little power. They're basically an organizational tool for the CFB.

Many are hoping that Congress can grant the NCAA authority through legislation. Right now it's all bark and little bite.

Perhaps that is true. However, when NCAA does investigate a school, that school files suit against NCAA. Schools want it both ways or should I say the big cigars and athletes want it both ways. Personally, I'm not sure Humpty Dumpty can be put back together in a way that is going to please all schools and pay all those millionaire, ahem, amateur student athletes.

On another front, there is the new tax proposal that is going to tax schools with big endowments similar to corporations. That will probably change the calculus of school funding and athletics.

I respectfully ask that any posts (of posters) on the pros and cons of the new tax proposal be posted on the Politics thread. I'm just posting how this could affect the landscape of school's resources.

That tax only applies to non-state and schools with more than $2 million in endowment per student.

So in football Miami, Stanford, Notre Dame
