This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I mean, there are a variety of potential situations and by jt

solutions, but in asking those questions you need to assume that both sides would be dealing in a reasonable manner and in good faith.

I do not believe that would be the case, so I don't know how they'll approach it. I know the coaches hate NIL and they hate the portal and they are in favor of player compensation. Now, that doesn't mean that we have to do everything that the coach's say, as I am certain that they would be in favor of minimizing/eliminating academic requirements, etc. but it gives us an idea of what the guys who are in the trenches want when it comes to compensation--some type of agreement that pays the players and allows more control to the coaches. Whether the school presidents want it or not is a different story.
