That's hardly true. Lots of people could see NIL as not a positive thing, including the NCAA, who fought the "educational benefits" lawsuit to the Supreme Court and lost. They knew they'd lose NIL so they gave in.

The NCAA had little choice in the matter.

I kinda like the old days when recruits came in because they wanted to play and get an education from a particular college.
College football has became a business and it’s seems to be only money driven and no player seems to have an allegiance to a team and what it means to lay it all out there a call their Team a team.
Now we hear where major colleges can offer 30K to each player regardless of their participation which seems to be fair when one player gets millions to play and the others get nothing.
We then wonder what causes locker room issues when some players roll in with shiny new cars and others have to take the bus.
I’m of an opinion college football will be forever changed, but this being said, it’s hard to blame a young man when he can earn a basket of cash.
Just my opinion….

I mean...the sport has just become more like the real world. If these guys get their panties in a wad when a teammate signs a better NIL deal than them, I can't imagine how they're going to handle professional contracts in the NFL, or if they don't turn pro how they're paid at a regular job.

You're right that the sport became a business, and that's because of us (fans). Not the media, not admin people, not anyone else.

It amazes me that people truly think the money just entered the equation yesterday. It's just in the open now and the transfer rule made the dam break.

The one-time transfer is the real sea change, not NIL. It gave the players so much more leverage than they used to have.

Nope. It is because of the entitlement that has been taught to kids these days

Back in the late 90s, I met Spencer Riley at a picnic. He claimed that guys would have to pool their money to get a couple of pizzas delivered. Most guys weren't getting under the table money back then. Maybe a handful at most for most teams. Some guys drove nice vehicles, compliments of local dealerships deferring loans until they got into the league. Again though, it was a select few

I don’t really have an opinion either way good or bad but paying players WITH the transfer option is the issue imo. Either pay them and they stay, or no pay and they can transfer when you want. Jmo

I agree with you, but we are dealing with 18-22 year olds that have yet to be exposed to this lifestyle. Again, not disagreeing, but looking to see a player or players play for a school they want to be at.
Can’t say if I were those kids I’d be any different. Lol

Yep . . . The leverage used to almost completely disappear the second the Letter of Intent was signed. Now it's completely the opposite.

It's disappointing if he ends up going, but it is renegotiating season.

I think you're probably right that it was mainly the elite guys getting benefits and everyone else was just getting a handout here and there. It feels like it got more pervasive and elaborate in the past 10-15 years and then NIL blew the whole thing wide open when they relaxed the transfer rule for Covid and didn't go back..

Not openly they didn’t and treated like cattle at an auction. Is that funny

That was still how recruiting was done and it's not a sign of "entitlement" because the schools were offering it. That's what is funny.

You're acting like the kids started this. This has been going on forever, initiated by grown men and women working in the athletic dept of the schools.

This was mostly started because kids wanted to be paid for their likeness being used on ncaa football video games. The kids did start this. Wise up
