re: Honest discussion about NIL. Would love to hear thoughts.

Could they go get a side job? Yes or no

No, someone can start a different league or whatever and pay them. Or they can choose not to go to college at all. Being a football player is 100% optional, nobody forces them to do it. They are not brought in with chains around their ankles. They are choosing to play college sports because it's a fricking great opportunity that most kids would love a chance to get and I'm not going to sit around and pretend like it's not.

That’s because you were never restricted by a governing body on how much money you could make off of yourself.

Sorry you hate capitalism so much. Maybe go to North Korea if you’re such a big fan of salary limitations.

Because I'm an American citizen and I can just change jobs. The idea that the government should regulate a business/orginzation is not capitalism, it's North Korea shite.

In a capitalist society, organizations are perfectly able to come to together and make a set of rules to which they all agree with in order to create a product/service. The idea that people and such should not be allowed to enter into such agreements and must be regulated by the government is again, North Korea shite.

If they don't want to play footbal, they don't have to. Just like nobody forced you to work at Subway, McDonalds, join the military(most of the time) or anywhere else where you pay is decided by the people who hired you, not the fricking employee.
