re: Should scholarships be reserved for those without nil deals?

He has a partial scholarship. Yes, I bust my arse to give him an opportunity that I didn't have. frick you.

These nil millionaires don't need the scholarship.

I see your point. But here is the dilemma as I see it.

Making Jalen Milroe or Brock Bowers pay for their tuition from their million dollar NIL deals would not free up any scholarship money for other kids.

The NCAA limits football to 85 scholarships. If those players weren't on scholarship and paid their own way, and if that freed up scholarships for more players, it would create an even bigger imbalance between schools. Suddenly Alabama and Georgia would have, in effect, maybe 150 "scholarship" football players...either scholarship players or those who have made six figures and can pay their own way. Vandy and Miss State would have much fewer. UAB and Troy...even fewer.

The number has to stay at 85 for everyone...regardless of how much money the players make in NIL deals. What you're suggesting could never happen because of scholarship limits.
