I still clearly don’t understand the P&L of all of this.

Schools make bank on TV, ticket sales and mandatory donations, merchandise and non mandatory donations.

Then they want us to fund the NIL. It’s like they are seeing how close to the sun they can get. All so they don’t have to call the players what they are.

As far as I know, the rule against school-funded NIL is still in effect and enforceable. I guess that would be "pay for play", which is obviously what we already have but the courts haven't acknowledged as such.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are schools where the rules are being completely ignored and athletic dept revenues are being funnelled to third parties who then use it to fund NIL payments. If they get caught, just sue the NCAA for restricting player income.

Yep, they still treat their athletics like a bake sale or ticket raffle or cheerleader carwash to buy new jerseys for the team, in a small town high school model, even though they are all now 9-figure businesses.

Imagine Arthur Blank sending out emails to the season ticket holders asking for donations to build a new shitter in the locker room.

It's absurd.
