@doworkjp24 Right - which in the world of single year contracts, makes the concept of building towards a window very very challenging

With all the commitment buzz and 1st year Jared Curtis, it is clear that Lea is building towards a window 2 years from now. Not saying they aren’t going to do ‘well’ (whatever that is) but this is like the Titans drafting Ward and trying to position themselves for future not now

Breaking: Four-star OT Jasper Ngokwere commits to Vanderbilt. He’s the ninth commit in the 2027 class for the Commodores, and the second tackle up front.

@_birdsofwar You’re comparing other models that are in investment mode competing against an incumbent pro model. Collegiate athletics are not a traditional pro model - some institutions are behaving differently than others and many are dragging their feet. There is a slim window of oppty

Genie is out of the bottle. If they attempt to suppress wages athletes will find alternatives. You will open up for NFL to draft the premier high school talent and reduce eligibility restrictions to zero. You could have LIV style league pop up that will sign the best talent, etc

Cantwell just acknowledged part of the reasoning behind this bill is to get rid of a “pay for play” system, so trying to move backwards. Continuing to fight “pay for play” is one of college athletics’ biggest problems right now. Better to just admit the truth & move forward.

@_birdsofwar It wouldn’t be most, but there are certainly athletes that just by their $ value alone in college prove to be worth poaching post HS, post freshman and sophomore year. It would be the exception - I’m more bullish on a LIV style alternative to college football - that will happen

@WinterSportsLaw Gee is an extreme example and his actions speak louder than his words. He hen he was at Vanderbilt, he abolished the leadership structure in athletics and folded the athletic department under his academic department. A Vice Chancellor ran athletics after that

@_birdsofwar But that’s exactly my point - it’s an NFL rule. And I’d love to know your reasoning of why they would have ‘no interest’ in changing it. Besides the current player union not wanting an influx of potential supply
