Hate it !I sure hope I’m wrong about this…. but I’m afraid this off-season we will see the transfer portal in college football become like a free agency system more than in the past. I think all programs will have to support and rally for more money for their NIL programs until this thing can be brought under control. Maybe it won’t and I’m just being an alarmist but already it seems discussion and activity is picking up.
Players should have agency and autonomy other their name, image and likeness. However, they are not being compensated for name, image and likeness. They are being compensated for potential athletic performance. They are in fact professional athletes.Claiming free adults (18+) do not and should not have agency and autonomy over their name, image, and likeness is an odd hill to plant an absurd flag. Especially egregious when you consider the institution and governing body both have ownership on copyright, intellectual property, brand, and licensing over the very same entertainment (sport) the athletes are participating in.

You’re right on target. Also, NIL is now trickling down to high school football. If something isn’t done, we won’t recognize college football in a couple of years.I sure hope I’m wrong about this…. but I’m afraid this off-season we will see the transfer portal in college football become like a free agency system more than in the past.
