NIL - Lindsey Graham

[Tusi21!!]

And I'm just as indifferent toward his ilk on a personal level. But understand, the issue we're really talking about, if it ever gets solved, will be solved by people like him, not people like us. Maybe he likes college sports. That would be great. I don't care whether he likes me or not.

People like him. What a retarded take.

 

[KingWard]

keep him from making a as* of himself every time he opens his mouth

He would make an @$$ out of himself by raising the issue and then doing nothing.

Someone should ask him if we need reform when "servants" get elected to an $180K/yr job, spend half the year living in one of the most expensive places to live in the world, and come out multi-millionaires. How about we focus on that one instead of college kids getting a 6 month truck lease.

Why should attention to one issue rule out addressing the other?

For one, I believe we're involved in a war in Ukraine to facilitate a money laundering scheme. So yeah, I think that kind of thing should be more of a concern for Graham than an athlete getting a 6 mth lease on a truck. Remember when he swore to us he was going to get to the bottom of the whole scheme to take Trump down?? Or when he swore to us he was going to get to the bottom of Covid origins?? Or how about how the dude turns into an immigration hawk when it's time to get elected?? Gimme a damn break. Dude is a clown that will only do what is financially beneficial to him, which is apparently is run around the world war hawking and flooding the US with illegal immigrants.

But I digress. The below is a snipped from SI. While Graham and our state legislature wring their hands and shout at clouds, other states in our own conference are just doing whatever the F they want, and there's not a damn thing anybody can do about it. In MO, HS athlete NIL opportunities are tied to staying in state for College. Well holy sheet, there's only one P5 option in MO. Wonder how they got the in state 5* commit in this class?? Our legislature could have simply passed a law saying what Park Avenue was doing was lawful in SC, we could have kept going and not missed a beat. We need to be able to be aggressive and different...both USC and Clem. Neither program can compete with the big boys when it comes to NIL.

"New state laws adopted in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma clear a path for their schools to bring NIL programs more under their proverbial roof while also prohibiting enforcement from the NCAA and others. This new evolution of NIL collectives tests NCAA and SEC governorship, risks federal rules violations and, maybe most important, pushes college sports another step closer to what many believe is an eventuality: Schools paying athletes directly."

Oh, he's going to do something on it....FUNDRAISE!

How - unless he DOES something? The people are jaundiced on him.

Help me understand. You rail against Graham for injecting his opinion but tout other state politicians for passing laws ?

Don’t think it’s a federal government deal. Should be up to the states to decide how they want their universities to handle NIL.

I think it’s a good thing that he or any other politician brings it up. It’s a total mess. An elephant in the room Maby, just maby it will incentivize our state legislators to get off their butts and try catching up
