re: Ok. I've got a question about college athletes becoming university 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?

I really don't know. I think what I'm trying to get at the most with this is contractual obligation. In the spirit of spit balling here, can we get to a point where NIL money is attached to the school and in order to receive it, you have to agree to terms.

Maybe the Universities at the power 5 level can unite on this and form it's own collective, it's own alliance. Maybe they can gain some leverage with all this. If the players are employees and not students, they could conceivably do something like this.
