Best way to put the damper on the nil fiasco is for the universities to be required to administer the programs in-house. Then let the Title IX lawsuits begin. Most donors don't give a damn about most of the college sports, particularly most of the girly sports. Start spreading that nil money around, and the enthusiasm to contribute will wane.
What’s happening now is not sustainable.

I am opposed to redistribution schemes like Title IX
HOWEVER it's very disingenuous to pretend that this is an amateur sport when its in-all-but-name a semi-pro league for those who can afford to pay, with those who can't stuffed in as cannon fodder.
If you want to play the NIL game, your program needs to completely separate from the school. Don't pretend I'm stupid when the Longhorns and the Crimson Tide have obviously nothing to do with the University of Texas and the University of Alabama.
What we've already got (and will continue to deteriorate) is teams with NFL money playing rural high schools. That's unequal weights and measures.
Another thing that should happen is no more tax deductible contributions for NIL. This has nothing to do with the main purpose of a university.
I did not say the "cream". I said the "alleged cream." I used "alleged cream" purposefully because you CCC Club members think that you are the cream of the Tech fan base, but you only delude yourselves. The CCC Club worked tirelessly to get rid of Skip and the effort was successful. Now we have Cumbie and it appears the CCC Club is eat up with buyers remorse. Skip lost some games in the 4th quarter but Cumbie seems to lose before the opening kickoff.
Skip sat on his ass his last two years and didn’t recruit. Maybe he was tired of trying to recruit with lack of admin support, I don’t know. But it was time for him to go. Nobody on this board had anything to do with hiring Cumbie. That’s all on the incompetence of Tech leadership. You seem to think we should do the job for those who are paid to promote and advance the University.
We also didn't have anything to do with firing Skip. If we did, he'd have been gone when he stopped producing and not way after it was too late.
If they want to pay me those inflated salaries to wreck the university then my inbox is open.
It amazes me some of the sunshine pumpers on here who are content with a 5-5 season, or a 3-9 season. We haven't won a conference championship since 2011 under Sonny Dykes. Overall we have been stagnant as an athletics program. We love Tech and we want more for our university. There's nothing wrong with that.
That's why I have been genuinely asking the question, what is the alternative. Maybe I'm coming off as a troll too much, but I really do not see what our other options are. Either 1) say nothing at all (which many people did take and now the board is essentially dead) or 2) pretend that everything is fine?
Now the QB at UGA wants $4million just to keep playing for them. Absolutely right that this cannot persist.
Yo sharky why are you dissing Crummy? How dare you criticize him or anyone employed at Tech. As a charter member of the anti-CCC Club you are obligated to think Crummy is better than Saban.
FWIW, he does have a brother playing over there.
Absolutely.
Show me where I ever said that it is unacceptable to offer a negative comment, but the CCC Club makes a living doing that very thing. You are a prime example. You can't even bring yourself to say something positive about Kim Mulkey who has spent her entire career reflecting positive on LA TECH.
