This dude, Dale, picked and chose his fights. SMU was doing what they did, but we know the NCAA and media heads like him were always willing to stomp on the little guy and then call out the big programs for doing the same thing.
Exactly. The ACC doesn't know what is about to hit them. And SMU just got the green light from the courts that prevented the NCAA from enforcing NIL violations....
Gotta love Dale Hansen. Lots of good takes. But not his take on college football. The difference between some Triple A baseball club and any college is college has built-in “forever fans”. Very few care about Double A Wichita but lots of folks care about Wichita State, win or lose. Now extrapolate that to the P2, B12, ACC, MAC, MWC, hell, even Ivy.
Not to mention a school has a much more personal relationship with fans/individuals than any privately owned sports team does just by the fact you can attend, participate,etc at the school. There's also always the chance a professional team leaving its curent location. Unless its a brand bigger than the location/regional identity most folks will drop their allegiance or interest in the team.
Love Dale Hansen. Remember following him during the SMU situation. he makes great points. The college players should get "something" but these numbers are ridiculous. The football players get free housing, free tuition, state of the art 24 hour a day medical care at no cost, no co-pay, not having to pay for medicine, they have the best personal trainers, have a personal dietician and these things that cost the normal every day working man 30K a year....at least. Alabama's AD Greg Byrne said the average cost of a Bama football player is 190K a year. Ohio St was around the same thing. Same with Michigan. Now, the players want 5, 8, 10, 12 mill a year on top of that?? Yes, I understand these things are not cash in wallet and the players need something. You need to take the cost of living MINUS these things and have a cap on that. After all these luxuries the players get I think 3K a month is more than fair. You don't have any expenses so the 3K is for you to do what you will (car payment, gas, dates, clothes) and if you need more than that then you need to do what the rest of do and learn how to manage your budget. As far as the transfer portal it should be like this. The coaches can leave, blah blah. Yes, they can but they are employees under contract and if a coach leaves someone buys that contract out. The can't just quote up... and leave ...unquote. The players can transfer without owing anything. Set up the portal like this. You can transfer once without penalty or sitting out. The 2nd time you have to sit out a year without being able to use a redshirt year. The 3rd time you have to pay back whatever NIL you were given from previous school. At this point you can no longer transfer. If in 3 attempts at any school you can't work it out then you need to move on to your life after football and your eligibilty is over.
At least now it is a more even playing field. If you have one team not playing by the rules, but others following the rules, the team not playing by the rules is going to have an advantage. I would not say SMU was simply condemned for boosters pushing money to the players, but they were well outside the rules at the time and gain a clear competitive advantage in winning the SWC and nearing winning a national title back then in the 80s.

This guy is a treasure, great listen.
I’ve always loved Dale and his take on everything. Probably because his take is what mine would be. He’s definitely a legend in his own right.
I had to come back just now and listen to the Hansen interview again. It's even better the second time.

I watched Dale every night in the 80’s and 90’s. Eric Dickerson drove a Texas A&M Pontiac Firebird while at SMU!
@@Alan-lv9rw , The late coach, Ron Meyer, said that SMU coaches called it the “ Trans A&M”. 😏
I sure do miss Hansen being in our home every night 💙. Good to hear his voice again!
