re: Lane explained NIL really well at SEC media day...

NIL and the portal are two separate things, yes. But the windows that open allow players to go NIL shopping. There's no guarantee of anything. I'm all for players making money off of their success, but with these two systems combined, it sways everything in the player's favor and has no guarantee for the teams. To prevent this wild west system that is in place now, we must have NIL caps as well as, and I think most importantly, some kind of penalty for transferring on a whim. Maybe they don't have to sit out the entire season, but maybe they need to sit out the first 6 games of the season.

The Lane Train is just following his mentor discussing the eventuality of NIL disaster. If you've created an economic system that can't regulate greed it is doomed for failure.

Kiffin won't get the proverbial, he's just worried about losing his advantage argument, like Coach Saban, but the problem remains. College football is becoming a crapfest in a hurry.
