Are dark times ahead for NCAA football?

[Hang_On_Sloopy08]

I’m pretty stoned just FYI but hear me out. With today’s news that California is pushing legislation to pay NCAA athletes for their likeness, I think this sets off a chain reaction of terrible events for the game.

1.) USC, Cal, UCLA and Stanford become automatically ineligible for postseason. (Emmeret wrote this warning to state Senate)

2.) PAC has no choice but to drop them

3.) PAC already struggles with viewership, the top teams will desperately look to new conference homes.

4.) Because of the political nature of things today, more states could follow suite.

5.) Liberal leaning states like Oregon and Washington could be First states to adopt this legislation.

6.) Lawsuits follow by the schools versus the NCAA

7.) States back east start the conversation

8.) Viewership starts to decline as this becomes a hot nationally contested issue since people will claim NCAA is making wayyy too much money off student athlete labor.

9)....

So where does this all go? The state Senate approved the bill last month, with a 31-4 vote with two abstentions, which means it will head to the California Assembly’s Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media Committee for a hearing and vote tomorrow.

Highly doubt (pun intended) that the consequences of these actions haven’t been discussed by those involved.

I kept telling everyone in the PF that we need to nuke California and most of them said that was way too harsh so I suggested we give California to Venezuela and they still said no. Now look where we are.

The nuclear option should still be on the table if they fuck up college football.

Obviously you don't know the typical Californian mindset. That state is populated by retards that could give two shits less about the consequences of their actions.

California Democrats plan to extend Medicaid to illegal immigrants

0 chance the PAC drops them.

You don't get it ... there will be no PAC if this shit goes through.

If only California does it it'll be fine. If Washington, Oregon follow suit the PAC would still exist, although things get interesting.

You think the other schools are that fvcking stupid? California can drown in it's own stupidity but Washington is still a football school and will remain so ... which means goodbye Cal-4.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

Someone please get Washington out of this pos conference.

Nothing about California's decision would affect Washington's eligibility.

If you think Washington is going to remain in a conference with a bunch of NCAA ex communicated fvcktards then think again.

BTW Washington has an actual D1 size stadium, they kick ass in academics and they are located in a remote yet decent sized media market. I doubt the Huskies will have a problem finding someone who will take their ass. You just better pray uncle Phil puts in a good word for the Ducks.

You underestimate the stupidity of Californian politicians. If common sense were a monetary instrument the entire lot of them couldn't buy a twenty five cent gumball

Why not? The TV money is too great to cast them aside.

I'm sure the MWC will take UW if they want to bail.

You just don't get it. The California schools are about to become a college football pariah if this shit goes through.

Just because they are ineligible for the (NCAA) postseason doesn't mean they are not still very valuable for TV viewership.

Washington doesn't need this bs. First it was California's state travel ban and now this shit. I don't care if Washington has to join the MAC ... just get us the fvck out of this messed up conference.
