I don't think the paying player genie will ever be

put back in the bottle, and maybe it shouldn't. A different system than "revenue sharing" would have to be discussed, decided on, and then implemented. If the kids could then make the big bucks by transferring to the semi pro league, so be it. Give them the choice, and opportunity to be a pro. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, figure out a way that all student athletes can share in a more equal payment system. Even the non revs. Not all players are good enough for the NFL, NBA, MLB, or the P2. If they make the cut on any of the above, let them make millions - I really don't care. If they can't, then pay them (all of them) an appropriate amount that is fair, and hold their feet to the fire of credit hours and graduating. Playing college athletics is a privilege, not a right - at least it should be once again.

Josh Pate, likely no change in 2025 PO seeding, 4-4-2-2-1-1 likely for 26.

My take

The ACC has no such option. **
Big12 guy 02/22/25 06:47 PM ET
What option?**

Going against the P2 is a technically possible but unrealistic option
RandomAsianGuy 02/22/25 09:51 PM ET
I agree with your last statement, but to be clear,
Big12 guy 02/23/25 06:20 AM ET
That’s right, P2 will grab what they want, and eventually break off 🏈🏀4💵

We don't have the option of a timetable either

Just a comment on the media part of that.

Do not disagree with that either......

Think of all of the kids playing at the FCS level that play
Big12 guy 02/23/25 04:49 PM ET
AGREE. Maybe GW will field a team. **

Their biggest impediment at this point is ESPN

If each of the P4 went to 18 teams, it could work well in the long run.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 09:12 AM ET
do you honestly think a P4 really exist anymore? **
VTCALS72 02/24/25 08:41 AM ET
A couple questions regarding your proposal.
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 09:27 AM ET
#1. Exactly, for football. But it matters for other sports.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 10:28 AM ET
I doubt you could come up with a strong enough sales pitch to convince VT
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 11:16 AM ET
What the heck? Why would that happen?**
hokieZ71 02/22/25 12:42 PM ET
As I stated previously it would happen because the ACC wanted to make sure
