I would have been thrilled for him getting as much money as possible. My point was that the NIL deal would have been a catastrophe for the business/booster/school. But to the kids, get as much as you can.
Most of us are too busy trying to ignore Lingard. He was, IMO, the single worst 5 star ever. Imagine if NIL existed when he was coming out of high school and some booster/company/school paid him 6 figures.
