If we have to go this route, I'd rather just go to D2, D3, or NAIA. You can't escape it, but at least it's not as bad.
I don't think we have $200 million in our sports budget though to follow LSU's route.
I hope eventually things will settle down and there will be place for non p4 schools to compete on a relatively equal playing field with student athletes. P4 can transition to a professional mode. What their relationship to the school will be is anyone's guess.
Yep. Some athletic departments are actually becoming private businesses selling equity to investors. LSU would be insane to get booted from the SEC and the millions in revenue sharing for two players who'll be gone in one year anyway. The SEC knows it.
From George Will commentary yesterday in the Times Picayune: "Southeastern and Big Ten conferences discovered a limit to their permissiveness: They are trying to stop LSU — a rogue football program, akin to North Korea — from recruiting two players who had suited up for NFL preseason training but wanted to return to college."
