And when they leave the building they are still free to do what they wish with their free time. Doesn't mean they have to do stuff together. But they would all be sleeping in their normal environment before a game and probably more comfortable. I get it, I do, but they are college kids. Some might want to live off campus or on their own or in a dorm. They probably also want to be able to party and have fun and not feel watched 24/7 1 Quote Link to comment

It could even be just off campus if it makes you feel better. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll try to put this lightly. This is a horrible idea and would be a complete waste of money for the AD department. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 What if....? I local developer builds a tremendous apartment complex. Offers free high end luxury apts to FB players in an attempt to get other "stalker fans" to live in the same apartment complex but regular apartments to be close and party with players. Guess that is more of an NIL question... 1 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 What if, none of the guys on the team can hang out with girls? Here me out...I mean it could cause some issues and really all they have to do is give up dating/girls for like 4-5 years and they could probably work a NIL deal with like an absitience company or Crocs or a cargo short company, who all promote or force virginity.

All of that doesn't even mention that all the off-campus players get a check cut for several thousand dollars when they're not using the 'room & board' their scholarship includes.

If players live off campus, they get a check cut for $11,920 or something close to it because that's part of their scholarship. They're then free to spend that on whatever they want and if they get 4-5 people in a house to make rent cheap, that's a whole lot of free money left over. 1 Quote Link to comment
