Why would college football care about some of those things or what place does college football have at the table for human rights in any given state? And even if they could do something it would be incredibly complex and most likely unproductive. This thread is about Saudi money going into NIL...

Name names. I’m open to learning more about it. I’m not naive enough to think that foreign interests don’t have an influence on sports media and marketing but to let Saudis Arabian money flow directly into the hands of our college students would be grimy as ****.

Moloch Game Theory: Moloch is the personification of the forces that coerce competing individuals to take actions which, although locally optimal, ultimately lead to situations where everyone is worse off. Moreover, no individual is able to unilaterally break out of the dynamic.
