The big market teams buying players. College football is more like MLB than the NFL in that respect. No salary cap in baseball. NFL has a very strict salary cap. MLB has decided that they are ok with big market teams poaching all the talent, which tends to coincide with big tv markets anyway. |

MLB has decided that they are ok with big market teams poaching all the talent, which tends to coincide with big tv markets anyway. Good "surface" comparison, although skipping over some very obvious differences. First, EVERY MLB buys players. Owners chose how much to spend not MLB. Ego drives some owners/ownership groups, profit for others. But, MLB doesn't decide who the richest teams are. Every MLB has great talent. MLB has a union and strict rules in trades and contracts. College football none. MLB doesn't have 130+ teams (not counting talented players outside FBS), hence talent is far more spread out in college. No college football program has a $70-300+ mil budget for "salaries" and never will approach pro levels. NIL isn't salary in any way. Average NIL for an FBS athlete just broke $4k in 2023. Average MLB salary $4+ mil (median $1.5 mil). Meaning 95%+ of college players make very little off NIL and are drawn to a program/conference for more than $. Media markets in MLB are basically "teams". In college football it's conferences. It's all about the $ for sure, but it ends there. When NIL becomes school "directed" (coming) AND NIL isn't extra donations but from AD funding we're in the "pro sports" category. As then media deals will fund players vs fan donations. We can all cry the blues about the direction of college sports, but it's no where near pro sports. Yet. |

I am confused as to whether only $2 million counts from Ohtani's contract or whether they are using a different number. Even if they only pay Ohtani $2 million, which is unclear, they have to pay the tax on the other $68 million, though, so it is difficult to parse out whether that amount is included or not. I guess that the question then becomes whether that is "Payroll" or something else? |

What I have seen on the internets:
* If you're girlfriend texts you a photo of Gerrit Cole, you're not getting to first base that night.
* New York has selected Aaron Judge to drop the ball to kick off the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration.
