re: Welp, Eli Drink planted his foot in his mouth.

Drink gives an answer around how unproven players are making more money than actual doctors, and with that comes consequences including bad actors who want a piece of the pie when coming into sports betting (that has already been an actual issue at other programs) and that he understands that its going to be something that he and the program will need to work on for it not being a distraction or issue.

Somehow that gets turned around into Drink is against players getting payed.

Drink is the last coach that is against NIL, where he actually worked with Missouri legislation to pass unique to only Missouri NIL laws. Somehow sports betting is still illegal in Missouri.
