NIL should only come from any legit business opportunity that uses their name, like, and image.
This was the way it was presented to the public.
Nobody was told that there would be "collectives"...
Nobody was told that guys basketball transfers would be lending their "name, image and likeness" to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
It was presented like this was going to be players and local businesses finding each other and having the player do a photo op eating the proprietor's chicken wings. Or the player doing t shirts.
Basically we got legalized and organized boosters bribing these guys.

bullshite, I warned of collectives for years before the NIL. I didn't call them "collectives" but I described the entire process 100% and said what would happen.
And it's not like I'm someone who can see into the future, it was just that fricking obvious.

Once again, the frick they weren't. Warned over and over, and the only thing people would say in response was "You're just scared of people getting paid and you'll lose your advantage" rather than acknowledging or addressing the obvious.

Like I said, 100% predictable and it doesn't take a fortune teller to know it.
Don't tell me people weren't warned. Everyone just choose to ignore the warnings and dismissed those who tried to warn for whatever reasons.
And I wish this was only true for college sports. But the reality is, everything that happens in the world people were warned about and they choose to ignore the warnings and still do.
The consequences of a society that only learns what to think, not how to think.

The NCAA on the other hand had every opportunity to reign things in by placing stern restrictions on the transfer portal, they failed to do so. Now we have unregulated pay-for-play through NIL collectives AND an unrestricted transfer portal.

What's everybody whining about. A month ago we were told it's just Saban whining. Remember?
The truth is, Saban tried to warn everyone. Honestly, anybody with half a brain knew what was going to happen but pea brained individuals thought it better to rip Saban instead of getting behind his actions. The narrative around the county (especially on this site) was, oh Bama just doesn't want to lose their advantage so don't bitch and complain now. Everyone obviously got what they wanted. Again, stop whining.

*ahem*
Pretty sure some teams in this league already had "collectives" before NIL.
I'm just sayin...
