This is wrong here’s why 1. College sports make billions while players risk injury that could paralyze at best, or kill at worst 2. NIL lets them earn from their own talent, same why as how the NFL works. 3. They have freedom now, they didn’t before.
One day you’ll all be old and you see how evil NIL is. It’s of the devil. May the lord protect these young men from selling their souls before they even turn 21

Nil isn’t a bad thing but it should have a cap

Honestly, we’re in the infancy of it in the next probably 5 to 10 years. There will probably be a GM, And personal finances that manage team’s NIL budgets. I just think it’s good that we’re giving these guys the freedom that they are deserving. Plus the shit’s been happening since the 60s. Lmao

A cap of like 50 grand a year at most per player. Otherwise you will get a race to the bottom trying to milk every penny possible and absolutely ruining the sport with athletic departments trying to keep up. In many ways that’s what we already have. Soon you will start to see diminishing returns when today’s students become alumni. Many already can’t afford to go to games

In my opinion you there should not be a cap on a player but on the team themselves for example have a 20 million dollar a year cap that goes to the entire football roster ie recruits, freshman-senior, and graduate players, however I think they should also include a transfer penalty if you do it more than once (barring coach firings or something else along those lines) you lose a year of eligibility or something similar

Honestly even before NIL players got a free education and a stipend for living expenses. Now you have revenue sharing. This is not a financially sustainable way of doing things. It’s really funny how many people seem to take money for granted when it comes to college athletics. It doesn’t grow on trees and the increasing demand for revenue is going to make schools do more and more insane things just to stay relevant. The only problem is the more you do that the less fans you have.
