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.

quote:

Nobody was told that guys basketball transfers would be lending their "name, image and likeness" to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

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.

quote:
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.

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.

AMEN!

Many (especially YOU) saw this shitshow coming a mile away. Hell, a ton of head coaches saw this thing snowballing out of control and tried to warn folks. But because people hate Alabama and Nick Saban so much, they turned a blind eye claiming "Saban will never be able to recruit top talent now, NIL & transfer portal finally leveled the playing field, so suck it Bama fans."

People got what they wanted; they got the level playing field they wanted. Players are getting what they wanted. They are paid handsomely to put on that jersey for at least 1 season for your team.
