“NIL was meant to allow players to profit from their name, image and likeness. In theory, it was designed for players to do ad deals, sell autographs and be paid to make appearances.
That’s not what’s happening at the highest levels of college football and basketball. Players are being handed bags of cash in return for little to nothing.”
As I’ve said since it’s inception, what we’re seeing is not NIL. This is not what The Supreme Court ruled in favor of. It was ruled that the NCAA or University could not & should not stop a student athlete from their potential earnings it can make from their NIL from a commercial sense, not from boosters anteing up $$ for a kid to go to their favorite school.
The flip side of this is this; the under the table bag schools who r crying about the out in the open bags, there needs to be stronger NCAA & Tax punishments for this to weed out that. U can’t just try to regulate NIL & then go back to the good ole bag days. Nah, if a University get caught w/ under the table deals w/ a “rogue” booster, then that School should lose some schollies & bowl eligibility for no less than 3 yrs (which is the requirement of a CFB student-athlete status b4 declaring for The NFL).
All of this chit needs reformation, if imma keep it
