VERY SAD NEWS: Georgia bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart have just passes away in a car crash accident fans mourns….
Georgia football coach Kirby Smart expressed anxiety surrounding the potential impact of a proposed multi-billion dollar settlement in the House-NCAA athlete-compensation antitrust cases.
The SEC is expected to implement a 105-player roster cap for football, while revenue sharing is anticipated to begin on July 1st, pending a court hearing.
He questioned the long-term sustainability of the current model and whether student-athletes would ultimately benefit from it.
Smart emphasized the need for competitive balance in college sports but expressed uncertainty about whether the proposed changes would achieve that goal.
With a much-anticipated hearing for final approval of a proposed multi-billion-dollar settlement in the House-NCAA athlete-compensation antitrust cases set for next Monday, Georgia football coach Kirby Smart described anxious times for what may unfold in the sport and college athletics.
“Everybody’s on pins and needles because we don’t know exactly what’s going to come out of this,” Smart said
Football rosters are expected to be capped at 105 players, but Smart said teams may not have to get down to that number until the start of the season.
“The 105 number, the NIL number, what’s the cap number? What is this going to be?” Smart said Tuesday night.
Coaches are balancing that against the backdrop of the transfer portal opening again on April 16 and closing on April 26.
