Star players - six schools have about 85% of the draft picks. A lot of them didnt start at that school.

Having an NIL budget is the only way to compete now.

I have no clue how valid this is, but I'm going to guess those numbers aren't very close to being accurate.

But you are the one who said it.

Perfectly defines the rant in a nut shell. Just make up some random crap to support a made up narrative. Other retards WANT to believe the made up crap, so they blindly jump on board.

NIL budget it having an effect on the quality of the posters on the Rant. About 87.5% of the posters just make up facts and statistics and post them as the first thought in their head and then assume no one will challenge that the statistics are just totally made up. We need to get rid of NIL so those stupid posters will stop posting on the Rant.

That’s why there is an “about” meaning it’s not some mathematical fact. People talk in generalities and hyperbole constantly. When they give math facts it’s usually more exact.

The 18-4 up/down vote ratio of the original post proves your numbers to he more accurate than the OPs. But that doesn't matter. If you call them out then you are just labeled an a-hole.

But it's not even "about" 85%

Not to mention you titled the thread as having "further proof" and then lied your absolute arse off about your proof.


I don't mean to bring politics into this, but I bet you are a Democrat.

Exactly, so fans should dump.all of their expendable income into college athletics in hopes that we win championships so we can be whole . The athletes can up and leave whenever they want and 80% of them will blow their nil money by the time they are 25. Let's do it!

Hate to say this, but don’t hold your breath on that happening. Arkansas just passed a state law banning any entity (NCAA, SEC, etc) from capping what an Arkansas player can make from NIL.

Most NIL laws are state laws. Each state has different laws in place which will make it damn near impossible to have a cap.

Geez. You are way too serious. Please find something more meaningful for your life than a college sports message board.

Oh that explains it. You are one of those people who has to label everthing so that you can understand it. No wonder you need exact numbers.

It’s pretty much business as usual other than Ohio State being ridiculously talented. And their 2 best pro prospects are still on the team

For people who want facts:

About the time I looked at the draft board and thought of the post exactly 74.4681% of the draft was from 12 schools which is about where meaning can be derived from a numbers and concentration standpoint. I humbly beseech those of you here for deeper meaning to give me the grace of forgiveness for misleading your humble brains.

ETA I do wonder when Ole miss last had this many drafted in first two rounds. Or Missouri South Carolina or Arizona for that matter.

NIL isn’t really the issue. It’s the portal allowing players too hop around and come and go as they please. Make them sit out a year if they transfer and it solves a lot of this BS.
