He has to be retiring though, right? Or did he say something about looking for a new challenge?
Not arguing your overall point, which is correct. But as a former D1 athlete, the bolded is a sham at many schools. Study hall is mostly a place for 1) FB and BB players to meet girls that are other athletes or are paid tutors, 2) FB and BB players to have tutors do their work for them, 3) people to sign in and walk out the door (what 80% of us did), and last and least 4) athletes to get real help with their studies. If you are in a non-revenue sport, I'd label the study hall requirement a complete and utter joke and waste of a walk from the dorms. At least that was my experience at two D1 schools.
MSU and tOSU grad.
Based on her replies to that tweet, she sold it to TMZ and they will publish.
Is this real?

Costas wants Congress to step in. He definitely knows about the court cases, right? Why didn't Costas want Congress to step in when the players were being exploited?
Says who? The players should have a cut of the pie like all the pro sports have. Ridiculous that these schools make this kind of money and a QB gets a grand for some autograph signings.
Full ride for a free education doesn't count?
Totally agree but with the size of the pie now, it's long time for contracts and a salary cap. This current nonsense is awful.
I used to think this but most of these guys don't care about that and the schools don't care either beyond the farce of keeping them eligible. This is minor league football.
Yes, it counts.
Definitely agree, as mentioned they don't play school, but whether you take advantage or not, 150k towards your future isn't nothing along with the state of the art facilities, stadiums, trainers, connections, exposure.
Yeah, I'm all for making what your NIL is worth, seems fair, but even under the old system I had a hard time feeling bad and that they were horribly taken advantage of.
That's neither here nor there, is it? Your level of sympathy? Whether or not you thought it was fair compensation? Or I thought, or anyone else thought.
Absolutely. Players should have contracts like almost anybody receiving that kind of money. It’s absurd.
imagine any other industry in America where people willfully say hey why can’t this adult just get 2% of what he’s worth? It was ABSURD.It does a little bit. But if we're being honest, this is akin to saying "I'm going to pay you $10 because you're making me $1,000,000."
Would you like to guess the difference between minor league baseball and major college football?
I'm agreeing with you. My only point was that they get more than 1k at a car dealership on the weekend.
There is no other legit route to the NFL but through CFB. If your goal is to play in the NFL, its really not a choice.
Yeah, man, and you're very reasonable, I'm not coming at you.
The one that really makes me crazy is the, "well they should get some money, but....."

Noticed it last night. Actually two teams I know pretty well, too. One I think is underrated who definitely has some great players (QB, RB, WR - Boston's son). Actually both RBs are good. QB Williams Jr, though, is something else. Very quick and fast, out of the pocket, he's a big problem. And he can throw too. Really fun to watch. Washington is underrated and I expect them to roll. That is if they care and keep those guys in.
I didn't realize the NFL had changed their rules and that players can be drafted out of high school.
Wild to me that the NFL shirks all responsibility here.
I want a new committee. I don't think any active AD's should be on the committee at all. Sports writers, retired coaches, players and AD's.
