I was just thinking if I was Bryce Young or CJ Stroud why wouldn’t I threaten to leave and act like I’m entering the portal so all local business would throw NIL money at me to stay?

This is going to prove to be such a giant frick up. There will be unintended consequences aplenty. Like letting 9 year olds in charge for a day. But we're letting them in charge indefinitely.

Like do you put a limit on how many endorsements a kid can have from a local business in 1 calendar year? Do you put a cap on earnings in a calendar year?

I'm all in favor of the players getting some monetary payment.
But, this NIL shite, is an ill conceived mess.

It doesn't have to be that way in sports, however. But enjoy a few teams buying championships.

Nothing can stop them. The NCAA's hands are tied because this shite goes beyond their power. It's state and federal law now. To make it worse, various states have various NIL laws. Alabama's laws aren't as permissive as some states (that will change as soon as Saban bitches).

I think the completely open portal is worse than NIL.

That both happened in the same year sends my conspiracy wheels into overdrive.

Nothing. Just like NIL, the NCAA didn't think this through at all.
