So, a state employee? Not gonna fly.


Why not though? The coach is a state employee. The gal behind the desk in the admissions office is a state employee. The guy who does the floors is a state employee. Why can't the football players be state employees?

I won't type an essay, but states usually have laws in place to govern state employee pay, conduct, etc. Georgia definitely does. Kirby only makes like $500k on the state dole, everything else is AD money. And his Ford F-150 commercials and such. How would you reign in NIL insanity by making them state employees?

Hell no they shouldn’t be state employees. My tax dollars have better stuff to pay for than some athlete’s opportunity to earn millions I’ll never see a dime of.
