NCAA say what?
An actual good change for college football?
Wow, what’s this? A powerhouse comment from bowl season director Nick Carparelli to YahooSports reporter Ross Dellenger brings a lot of common sense — and more questions — to two of the biggest issues before college football right now in terms of NIL and bowl opt outs.
Here’s Carparelli’s lengthy quote Dellenger put on social media: “I had a meeting recently with Charlie Baker and we discussed that (bowl opt-outs). On the national level, what needs to happen for everybody is collectives need to be brought in-house and universities need to manage that. I think what will come with that is we’ll see agreements, much like other employment agreement between athletes and the university now compensating them, whether it’s employee or employer relationship or inducement contractors, and when we see these binding agreements with their student-athletes that are required to play in 12 regular-(season) games, the bowl game and the CFP as part of their compensation — not unlike how the rest of the real world works.”
