W is #1.

orange 'n green in the vein

Miami wins ACC game #2 on the year with Cleveland unrepentantly gunning to be an NBA draft selection. Bethea finally is getting in offensive synch and finding a way to defend enough to collect a team high in rebounds, #99 keeps refusing to flinch despite the overloading of responsibilities every night for what he should be entrusted to carry at this juncture in his college career too. Pitt desperately needs a win too at this point in their season.

Let's Go Canes! What do we think of our Baseball team as far as expectations?

I feel like pitching will once again be an issue.

A week ago Georgia passed a version of this bill now Alabama follows suit. This is just more sucking up to athletes.

The partisan bill sponsored by Joe Lovvorn (R-79) and drafted by fellow state congressmen Chris Blackshear (R-80) and Danny Garrett (R-44) looks to exempt student-athletes at Alabama schools from having to pay state income tax on NIL earnings, and if enacted, will retroactively shield athletes’ earnings starting from Jan. 1 of this year.

The situation has gone from one extreme to another; these guys are getting paid a bit more than I think they are worht but thats ok. However, not paying state and federeal tax is going too far. It is income and it should be taxed at current rates.

There must be, at some point some kind of guidelines on this NIL and portal situation. It went from being penniless peasants and serfs to a total free for all out of control situation.

I think it will be the eventual death knell for college football; that is sad! IJS!

Salary Cap is the only solution.

Salary cap and multi-year contracts to limit the revolving door of the portal. And guarantees for payment of NIL money. A lot of kids are getting stiffed by the money handlers.

Herbieibis

Allow one free portal entry and transfer to play immediately, the second time you enter you have to sit a year, unless you are a grad.

Good ideas "Herbie" and "Sota C".

VA Cane

For sure you got to control the money, and it must be transparent where it is going; open book accounting. You need a cap on it and it should be the same for every school in D1. One entry into portal and play immediately, and sit a year after first transfer. Grad can play immediately. 2 transfer limit and and much more control of people playing more than 5 years. Keep the redshirt; but nobody playing for parts of 9 seasons like McCormick. That is ridiculous and the guy was not a real good player....dude in college at 26; 9 years of eligibility. Stupid BS!!!!

Sarasota 'cane

9 years is extreme, but if a kid fully recovers from a catastrophic injury that sidelines him for two years, then theoretically that player could be on campus for 6-7 years if they were injured as a redshirt freshman. And most programs would move on from a player like that which is why they pop up on another team when they recover.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe there’s no medical redshirt after a player dresses for a certain number of games. I don’t believe our incoming QB would get a year back as one example.
