Yep.

No one has the balls to tell them they're just college kids playing a game. I am an Alabama alumnus and former walk on, but the Tide can lose every game from the Rose Bowl to the end of time if it requires me giving a dime to the cause.

I enjoying watching college football on TV and talking about sports in general - and that's about it. I don't contribute to any funds (least of all NIL), buy merchandise, and (although not a opposed to it) have not been to a game in years. I will continue to spend my money on other things.

People take too much pride in college football. Go set a new bench press PR or something.

I think there is a big gap between actual market value and what is being reported. I’m sure there are some outliers, but I doubt most of these NIL numbers being thrown around are accurate. You can’t support these with a go fund me type NIL, unless you have several extremely deep pocketed supporters. But there are some legitimate NIL opportunities for the top recruits benefitting both athlete and businesses. Not necessarily national chains, but large corporations with local ties to the university and region. NILs will continue to evolve and become more creative.
