And that concludes my NIL subscription

[goindhoo]

The NIL system is just stupid. The reason these kids are getting paid is because the SCHOOLS are making money off their likeness. So why is the profiting entity not the one paying the kids? Makes no sense to pass the buck to the fans who are already generating the money for the schools. The NCAA has to correct this to salvage the product.

You make a pretty good point.

This is half of it. Well said.

The other half is that the $ being given to these players isn't for NIL. It's bribery.
Decoldest Crawford does a commercial for an A/C company and they pay him. That's NIL.
Alabama 5 star player enters the portal and schools start throwing bags of money at him. That's not NIL.

I don't think Thomas and Johnson had even signed with the Bulldog Initiative. The BI has actually helped us retain some players.

Why not just re-allocate that $1,000 to go to Cabela's for gear to be purchased to be used in the Falll 2023 seasons? Not sayin'.....just sayin'

You can take what most of us spend supporting college football and go on a great hunt out west every year. Just saying.
