IT added that the official visit for Reed will be that big June 25th weekend.
I like this combined with tighter portal windows to help with roster management.
Isn't the real limit 25+7 total new players?, so if no 25 limit I was assuming that the only limit is the 85 total.
I understand that is/was the official position, but considering the popularity of the portal its difficult for me to imagine that they would have moved back to a 25 total for high school signers plus portal athletes.
I think the removal of the 25/7 limit is for a two year trial. Something needs to be put in place or what we saw happen to the LSU basketball team will occur much more frequently.
Someone earlier argued we needed to treat the players like employees and pay them what they are worth. Why stop there? Why not let a school employ as many athletes as they want? Why not allow them to contact other “employees” at other schools and hire them anytime they want? Alls fair in love and NIL correct?
Doesn't that bring in contracts, unions and CBA's? Not to mention politics since the players become state employees.
I am not saying that making them employees is the way to go, but if you did, you would have binding contracts, a union, a CBA and some of what we are seeing currently could actually be controlled. You could set limits on number of employees (see NFL roster limits), you could actually have some ability to penalize tampering.
You would be forced to have contracts because as USC and Alabama have shown, boosters will always tamper. NCAA has no teeth.
