Josh Pate On College Football's BIG Changes Coming (Late Kick Cut) 

I fixed the NCAA schedule, and it even makes the bowls relevant since they would be played prior to the playoff selection: Week 1 August 18-19 Week 2 August 21-26 Week 3 Aug 28-Sept 2 Week 4 Sept 4=9 Week 5 Sept 11-16 Week 6 Sept 18-23 Week 7 Sept 25-30 Week 8 Oct 2-7 Week 9 Oct 9-14 Week 10 Oct 16-21 Week 11 Oct 23-28 Week 12 Oct 30-Nov 4 Week 13 Nov 6-Nov 11 G5 Bowl Week Nov 15-Nov 18 P4 Bowl Week Nov 20-25 (Selection Sunday on the 26th) Con Champ Nov 27-Dec 2 (ACC Champ gets the Orange Bowl), Big10 - Peach Bowl, SEC - Sugar, Big12 - Cotton Bowl) (Conference Champs get auto Bye in 12 team playoff) Round 1 Playoff Dec 4-9 Army Navy Dec 16 Round 2 Playoff Dec 23 Championship Jan 1 (Rose Bowl) (FCS champ gets the Fiesta Bowl)

I agree totally!!! I am a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, but old school and hate transfer portal and NIL bullshit, it is ruined college football and opening a pandora box 📦, that is only going to get much worse!!!!

@@kevinchandler179 the NCAA’s new president, Charlie Baker, has proposed a system in which the Universities would actually pay NIL to the players directly instead of collectives. Of course that would come with contractual terms and agreements on transferring. The problem with his proposal, imo, is the University wouldn’t have scholarship number limits and could pay their players with “unlimited educational benefits”. Yikes.

Rodger Goodell should make the NFL 22 to enter the draft.. it would make the draft more entertaining

One change I would make: Instead of salary caps, just have a flat salary for all FBS football players, regardless of team (or at the very least, flat within teams, and the size of that flat salary is determined by end of season rankings)

@@milantoth6246if you base salary on rankings, it all gets very top heavy. We’re finally seeing some parity across the board. I know personally I wouldn’t want to see that go away

Amen

Unless he got a pick right but it came off sketchiness then he just avoids the subject all together

Nah ncaa and schools are about to stop a lot of this transfer portal, opting out, and bowl game bs. I feel like some type scholarship or contractual agreement will prevent these players from just up and leaving.

@@205BeezyB I hope so, I don't want college football to turn into the NFL. I haven't watched an NFL game in 7 or 8 years!!

@@ridgerunner3364 nah they gonna handle it bro, the players did too much honestly, so they kind of ruined it themselves but they are definitely gonna crack back on it. And have limitations. Don’t be surprised if scholarships start coming with some type of agreement to stay on that team for at least 3 years or something crazy like that

It’s been that way for decades going back 30-40years

Contracts. They're going to have to go the route of contractual agreements and that would solve it all or offer an arbitration route. Otherwise what you're saying is spot on, there will be more lawsuits.

The NCAA has a new president and he has proposed a system that actually will let the Universities themselves pay the players unlimited NIL as “unlimited educational benefits” of course that would come with contractual terms and agreements.

@@jansonroberts2616 True. Also you should read the article on cbs sports about the upcoming ncaa lawsuit that is very likely to end the ncaa forever. I think Dennis Dodd wrote it.

Exactly! Because pay to play never existed before.

The only reason the youtubers were so vocal in support ofall this sh1t is because they wanted yearlong drama to post about!!

It’s not meant to be pay to play but that’s essentially what it is more so how it’s being used. Thanks boosters

It should be a deal where a kid can do an NIL deal or have an athletic scholarship, not both.

@@ccampauNIL isn’t tied to the university, it’s the individuals name, image and likeness. Telling a kid he can’t get an athletic scholarship because a company wants to give him a sponsorship deal is okay with you? Apply the same to Academic as well.

None, or at least very little taxes are used towards athletics.

@@FLA813BMO i can tell you dont rly know what youre talking about. 1 academic scholarships come with all sorts of strings attached. 2 NIL restrictions are routine - if you get a deal with Mcdonalds theyll say you cant get another deal with burger king. 3 the scholarship agreement could include exclusive NIL rights, making it completely legal. dont take the scholarship if you dont want it. 4 players would only be getting sponsored by companies because of the platform college football provides. if they get to that point they can pay college tuition the reason this restriction is necessary is because choosing to stay in college over going pro for a chance at a million dollar contract is becoming a routine decision. no other career path operates like this. college is for learning and personal development, not an opportunity to make money

No, but without us as fans, there’s no club, period. I think the Portal and NIL are good in theory, but they’re being exploited often to the detriment of the sport overall.

The transfer portal and the NIL needs to be fixed. I can understand wanting to transfer once, but evey year? This is so wrong. If a player takes NIL money, he is now a paid athelete, he should be made to stay at the institute he got paid to play for or pay back most of the money if not all of it.

@@greenwave819eh, not entirely true. You still need to recruit HS players to have any kind of sustained success

@@greenwave819it wouldn’t. These programs are happy to spend unequally except when the players are involved. Compare alabamas facilities to Tulane’s and then say with a straight face that the playing field was level before NIL was introduced

⁠​⁠​⁠@@LifeUserthey’re currently only allowed to transfer once for free and after graduation. They’re still students so limiting their movement won’t work, especially if lawyers get involved. A general population student can transfer as many times as they please, so long as they can afford it and present the right paperwork. That’s the standard ncaa athletes will be held to. As for NIL. You can’t condition it on the player not opting out. That would be explicitly paying the players to play in games, which by the ncaas own terrible rules would make them ineligible, hence players can opt out without repercussions.

@@LifeUserAre you for real? Coaches move from school to school every year. Do they have to pay the money back? Both are paid for their services. No difference. If the NCAA even hinted at that, they would get sued and lose. And why would anyone anywhere ever have to pay money back if they performed the services they were paid for? Not a lawyer, I see.

No f’n way would I want a champion based on media votes.

@@xandercrews4729mythical championships are clearly Better than seeing things play out in the field. Right? Right?

@@RD-wg9em and the media is totally honest and would never push an agenda.

@@xandercrews4729 😂😂😂

@@RD-wg9em seriously, think about if we let people like Dan Wolken or Nicole Auerbach have a legitimate vote on who the National Champion should be.

And that number should be 0.

Absolutely, Cap!!

Should be a 16 team playoff

But you can't pay a 3rd string OL the same as a Heisman candidate QB. No way that would ever work. I do agree everyone should get something.

@@joshsmith6043 agreed. I was referring more to a spending cap per team like the NFL has, not a per player equivalence across the team.

@@drm9979 OH, I see. That makes sense. Great idea 👍

the entire point of NIL is that it exists outside of the control of the schools and the NCAA. the only way to regulate it would be through scholarships (and the schools shouldnt allow scholarship players to do NIL)

@@macseamus835 wtf are you talking about? Schools shouldn't allow scholarship players to get NIL? That's why the NCAA was sued. Listen up, band players on scholarship get paid outside of school, just as any other scholarship student can. Making an exception against athletes is illegal and always was illegal and anti-capitalist.

The reason USC and UCLA left wasn’t because of fox sports. The commissioner of the then pac-10 made a tv deal with Comcast and added the pac-12 network. So if you live in LA would would not be able to watch SC or UCLA on some weekends. This caused UCLA to lose sponsors and they went completely broke to the point where the campus almost had to be shut down. USC wanted Texas and OU to join the pac-12 but Oregon and a few other schools blocked it, so USC and UCLA applied for the big 10

Does EDUCATION play a part in this soap opera? Never heard Josh mention that? No one talks about it. Everything is about money, NIL=$$$$, Playoff=$$$, TV contract=$$$. The reason for college is to get an education. Football used to be extra ciricular activity, but now is only a business. Did Josh mention the thousands of dollars in scholarships these player receive? Didn't hear it, if he did. Only a small fraction of college players make it to the pro game. Education has been ignored by the money men. College football has been headed toward becoming the minor league for the NFL for years. You can thank TV money and the NCAA for that. The 12 team playoff will go to 16 soon. Two conferences with divisions, play offs, wild card, etc. It has ruined the "sport." Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

@@allanfranklin9615 totally agree. college football needs to be rightsized. schools like alabama ohio st etc should have full-time football programs where the players focus their time on football preparing for the NFL without a normal load of coursework - theyd graduate with a degree in football. schools like vandy and northwestern should move to a full extra-curricular model similar to club sports and stop recruiting athletes into their academic programs which are very selective in acceptence. no other country mixes school and sports to this degree and its becoming obvious why - massive conflicts of interest

​@@macseamus835Football should be a degree program like anything else. You're doing it for a potential future career anyhow, just like everyone else in college. Is it a selective job? Yes but so are the number of potential "students."

I fixed the NCAA schedule, and it even makes the bowls relevant since they would be played prior to the playoff selection: Week 1 August 18-19 Week 2 August 21-26 Week 3 Aug 28-Sept 2 Week 4 Sept 4=9 Week 5 Sept 11-16 Week 6 Sept 18-23 Week 7 Sept 25-30 Week 8 Oct 2-7 Week 9 Oct 9-14 Week 10 Oct 16-21 Week 11 Oct 23-28 Week 12 Oct 30-Nov 4 Week 13 Nov 6-Nov 11 G5 Bowl Week Nov 15-Nov 18 P4 Bowl Week Nov 20-25 (Selection Sunday on the 26th) Con Champ Nov 27-Dec 2 (ACC Champ gets the Orange Bowl), Big10 - Peach Bowl, SEC - Sugar, Big12 - Cotton Bowl) (Conference Champs get auto Bye in 12 team playoff) Round 1 Playoff Dec 4-9 Army Navy Dec 16 Round 2 Playoff Dec 23 Championship Jan 1 (Rose Bowl) (FCS champ gets the Fiesta Bowl)

I’d rather scale it down to 8.

That’s gonna ultimately be the only way for the institutions to assert control. Once legal challenges are made the transfer portal will go up in smoke. As limiting only athletes in that aspect is not gonna hold up.

It's a Billion Dollar Business run on the backs of "student-athletes" lmao....it's a joke. If coaches sign contracts why don't the players sign contracts? It's all about money anyway, lets just be honest about it. These Super Conferences and extended Playoffs are nothing more than money grabs.

The nil money should come with multi year contracts.

Very simple. When the players are officially declared to be employees (as you know some court will decide they are), then you'll have the same situation as in pro sports leagues like the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. The NCAA will have to collectively bargain with them and a CBA will have to be put in. As part of that CBA, the NCAA can put in that players are not allowed to opt out of bowl games.

why do you believe nil makes it more competitive? it seems to me the rich schools now have an extra edge in getting the best players. that makes it less competitive in my view. transfer portal i agree, a player who is stuck on the bench or in an unhappy situation going to a better opportunity is a competition enhancer.

@@drm9979you’ve got 2 teams playing for a title that aren’t Bama, UGA, Clemson, or OSU.

True, I didn’t even watch the orange bowl because I knew it would be a shit show. So many players opted out, I’m guessing to punish the CFP commission. It didn’t really work and the Noles still ended up disregarded even more. Not a fan of either team but these bowls are fun match ups sometimes. However not when damn near the whole FSU team opted out. Wasn’t worth watching 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@dentonyoung4314this precisely. The ncaa created this rod for its own back by insisting on maintaining amateurism around a billion dollar industry. Just be done with it and these issues solve themselves

The last thing college football needs is a corrupt union to funnel more money to corrupt politicians!! The ncaa needs to its job, but instead, it has let espn and the like make a mess out of college football.

Lol yeah… let’s keep funneling money to advertisers and presidents but let the players who are turning their brains into jello rely on Enterprise’s new insurance

I agree 100%. Why let the whiners ruin the sport ? A four year all expense pains education is worth something !

@@billp5656 that 4 year tuition doesn’t add up to the billions of dollars generated by the players annually.

NCAA ruined its chances with Doing anything regarding NIL, Supreme Court stepped in and nobody goes above them.

Put them at the beginning of the season

Exactly, to hell with the game and players, just bring on the money!

There aren’t 5 P5 conferences anymore. Just 4.

@jansonroberts2616 Technically, there's still 5 P5 conferences, but even if there are just 4, the format stays the same, you just do it with 4 teams...

2 years in a row UGA blew someone’s doors off. I loved it but most people don’t.

Would the first round be higher seed hosts?

It would never happen but I’d love to see some kind of elevation and relegation.

Yes, there is no way that an Oregon team should play an Ole Miss team in Atlanta, GA if Oregon is ranked higher in a playoff scenario. One of the weaknesses of the BCS era was that 80 percent of Bowl games took place in the south, giving those southern teams a little built in homefield advantage, since bowls are played at fixed locations. Under my format, the Big bowls turn into Conference Championship games, and the mid tier (Power 4) bowls maintain their fixed location, and act almost as a mini playoff between conferences prior to the real 1st round of the playoff, the outcomes of those bowl games would impact the inclusion and seeding of teams 5-12 This is the Power 4 bowl format (Week 15), that I would put in place, that would help decide the 5-12 seeds: 1. Fiesta (Big 10 #3 vs SEC #3) 2. Citrus (Big 12 #3 vs ACC #3) 3. Music City (SEC #4 vs ACC #4) 4. Sun (Big 10 #4 vs. Big 12 #4) 5. Alamo (SEC #5 vs Big 12 #5) 6. Holiday (Big 10 #5 vs. ACC #5) 7. Liberty (Big 12 #6 vs ACC #6) 8. Motor City, (Big 10 #7 vs SEC #7) 9. Gator (SEC #8 vs. B10 #8) 10. Las Vegas (Big 10 #9 vs Big 12 #7) 11. Pinstripe (ACC #7 vs. SEC #9) 12. Independence Bowl (ACC #8 vs. Big 12 #8) @@johnathonolavarria7432

This was a Supreme Court decision. It takes an act of congress.

So act already.@@matthewfrazee3352

This is such a laughably bad take

Can you explain why?@@gamecokben

Many of these kids that only care about the money have come from generational poverty, many, not all. And how are they any different from the rest of people working for a living? As an older person that remembers things the way they were, I hate it. But I understand it.

How do you know what they care about?

What's the difference between the coaches and the players?

That’s like your boss saying I have a problem with you because you’re only here for money. I don’t understand some of y’all. Cfb is now a business therefore money comes first. Making fans happy are the last thing on the list of importance for athletes despite what they may say

The NCAA has stolen billions of dollars from the players for 100 years.

I say have bowl games mid season so we can match up the teams that make sense. Like how college basketball has tournament within the season.

@@TheOpinionSports In my mind that would still result in poor quality and low interest in the games. In the preseason fans have had a 6, 7, maybe 8 month drought in CFB. At that point we're ready to pull $10 tricks in a back alley to see a game... we'll watch anything!

They are young adults. They aren’t kids anymore.
