If you're a free market guy, then STFU about NIL

Young football players and basketball players who need money for their families are dictating free market terms to a general group who used to have a greedy fricking monopoly on all that money?
No one said it was going to be perfect, but fans sucking fat cat dicks and dutifully declaring war on the new process just need to go back to high school economics class. You were socially promoted in that class, you didn't learn shite, and then you majored in "marketing" in college and then pretend you understand economics.
Monopolies are not a free market basis. Monopolies inhibit free market flow. Thus the Sherman Anti-trust Act and yada yada
This particular message board has an opportunity, aside from other websites and "sports media." Be a group who looks at things from a realistic economic standpoint, or otherwise just be a bunch of fricking little whiney baby crybabies.
Your choice.
I'd personally like to see a "G-League" version of football. That would serve well on several sides.
Stop giving to NIL funds and foundations? I'm fine with that. That's your money. But stop sucking Fat Cat dick.

I find myself somehow becoming less free market as I get older. Don’t know how, maybe it’s a shift in our culture. Things like NIL and schools trying to frick every dollar out of fans is destroying something that used to great. I wonder how many things have had that happen to them that I just never got to experience before.

It's not NIL that's the problem, it's the damn wide open transfer portal. Sit a year, every time, no questions asked. Make as much as you want, but college football will never be related to college again until they reform the portal.

Part of a free market is the ability for individuals to come together and agree to a set of rules in order to create a product/service to the benefit of all of them.
Removing that ability is a violation of not only the free market, but of individual liberty.
Nobody forced players to play in the NCAA, quite the opposite.
If people want to come together and form a completely communist community, that's actually part of the free market. As long as it's voluntary. It is not part of the free market to allow people into that community and then start forcing that community to other standards because "free market".
TL;DR: Government intervention is the opposite of a free market unless it's things like fraud, slavery, etc.

that's some honest thoughts and I appreciate you
flip them the bird and put them in the pros. G-League the frick out of football and get rid of most of the money-grab compression. Or forget G-League, get it to AAA and AA and A and Rookie ball, just like baseball. Then let college players sign on the dotted line that they're not entitled to the huge money that happened during NIL. Take it or leave it.
They will sign.
what's left then is pure student athlete competition like it used to be. I actually like bowls better now because all the sudden walkons start in those games. I love seeing my team succeed with walkons. So if the minor league version of things can absorb the money, then do it, and let the chips fall

Correct. Entering into an organization with a predefined set of rules in order to participate is part of the free market.
No one was preventing the NFL, or any other organization, from starting a minor league where players could forego college and get paid.
The OP is nonsense.

So you advocate inhibiting people's freedom of choice?
Don't fricking tell me you vote Republican, because you're not a true Republican.

How are they going to keep giving big pay for play deals (not nil call it what it is) when people eventually get tired of this crap that's happening and stop watching or stop going to games. You can run your mouth all you want to about fans,but that's who pays and or watches so they can get paid big bucks.
I don't watch NBA at all anymore used to love it , I don't watch MLB anymore used to love it, I barely watch NFL anymore. College football is the only thing I really couldn't do with out but I'm about done with it, it's to much like NFL I loved college football because it was different it had passion, it was authentic. Yeah every one knew some players got money we all knew that, but it didn't ruin the sport. It's getting ruined with all the transferring and none passionate play. Players run out of bounds instead of trying to get the first down now just like the NFL. It's turning into minor league NFL.

I didn't ask for govt intervention, obviously, since I understand economics and you do not.
I said, if you don't want to contribute to NIL, then don't. If that brings down the house of fricking cards, so be it.
then we start getting our minds cleard and think of a real fix

build a better mouse trap
stop sending in NIL money. Then the market shifts and people get off their fricking arse and find a better fricking idea.
I'm pretty sure, if we burn it all down (fine with me) and then dictate "No NIL" on student athlete scholarship contracts, then that holds up in court.
