The idea of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) in college sports was first introduced in 2019 by California in the "Fair Pay to Play Act". Since then, other states have followed suit, leading to a shift in how student-athletes can be compensated for their NIL.

Just proves liberals ruin everything they touch.

Liberals in California have been clamoring to kill the “toxic masculinity” associated with youth, HS, and college football for years…the NIL is the virus they created to get the job done

Actually you should blame the coaches and schools. When the media and America saw how much these coaches started making off the backs of players, the conversation started focusing on why the players aren’t getting a piece of the pie. You went from coaches making thousands to multi million dollars.

When did coaches make thousands?
1857? Unless you're talking about schools like Central North Dakota Technical Institute.

According to Spotrac, Alabama players are making a combined $524,490,388 million in 2024, which is nearly $200 million more than LSU, which is in second place. Oklahoma ranks third with over $304 million
I bet those players feel like Saban earned his $11.1 million dollar salary in 2023.

Head coach contracts didn't crack $1M/year until the mid 90s and even then only a select few. It wasn't THAT long ago although now that I think about it that was 30 years ago
But still 30 years later and now those upper coaches are making 8 digits instead of 6. There are assistants are making 7 figures now.

The name Shawne Alston doesn't mean anything to you then?

Exactly. When Saban was hired at LSU in December 1999, he signed a deal that paid him $1 million a year. He was only the fourth coach in the country to make at least $1 million. The other three were Bowden, Spurrier, and Fulmer, all of whom had won national titles in the previous four years.

Off the backs of players?
I guess the following means nothing:
Free tuition
Free room and board
Free clothes
Free tutoring
Free healthcare
Personal nutrition plan
Access to state of the art weight rooms
Tell that that to the student working two jobs to try and get a degree. frick these players and this NIL bullshite.

the current state of affairs is a total mess, however let's not pretend that every team wasn't paying players. hearing boomers wax poetic about the good old days is always cringe. every time rode dirty, get over it

Bear Bryant made the same salary as a professor.

Wrong. Blame the NCAA. Everyone could see this coming down the pike 30 years ago. What has the NCAA done to take control of the situation and avoid a debacle? Nothing. They are actually guilty of the laissez faire approach you accuse California of. At least California was trying to do something. The NCAA kicked the can down the road until it was too late to take meaningful action. Now they want to rely on congress to save their worthless hides. Too little, too late.

When lsu hired Saban, he was the highest paid coach at 1.2 million. So I’m sure there were alot of that was paid in less than a million

Actually it was Northwestern and to some degree Mizzery who got the ball rolling on this...as long as you're looking for someone other than SCOTUS to blame.

Unfortunately, that is too true.
