“He do pay us the money”. If you wanted further proof that NIL had destroyed college sports

NIL IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Everyone keeps repeating that and it simply isn't true. It is the unlimited transfer portal that is the problem.

NIL in and of itself is not the issue. The issue is that there are no team spending caps and combined with the ability to transfer for any reason without penalty, it makes it a free-for-all.
Give each team a $1-2 million spending cap. If they want to spend it all on one player, so be it. Make a player sit out a season if they transfer more than once. Lock down the transfer window to a 1 month period in the Spring,
These steps would likely fix most of the burning issues.

NIL drives the transfer portal. I will agree the main problem is the unlimited transfers and it needs stopped. I wasn’t a fan of amateur athletics being paid but here we are, get rid of portal though.

Players have been getting paid for much longer than before NIL. It’s just out in the open now.
The larger issue is its lack of regulation. The sport needs spending caps, performance clauses, etc.

All about incentives now. SEC the powerhouse conference is not an accident.

There simply is no cogent legal defense as to why a college athlete whose face and name are all over the media shouldn't be able to profit off of that. If you don't want the schools to pay them directly, that's a separate issue, but trying to say that they shouldn't be able to make money at all is not a defensible statement.
On the other hand, restricting their ability to transfer should be defensible based on competitive balance and keeping the system, which these players are benefitting from, in place and financially lucrative. That's where the current structure of the sport becomes a problem, though, because the legal defense against that as things currently stand is, "But other students at these schools are able to transfer whenever they choose. Why should these students be any different?"

Can that dude count to three (as in steps it takes to make a shot)?

Because other students are students first and aren’t getting paid to
play a game ? No one is forced to be a college athlete.

While they have always been "paid"... it wasn't these ridiculous amounts and any kind of bidding war had to be discrete.

The NCAA in its entire history has NEVER prevented ANY student or athlete from getting paid by NIL or any other source of income. It has no authority to even begin to do such things.
It does however have every right to choose the guidelines and rules for it's own organizations and people are free to voluntarily join the organizations and follow those guidelines.
Meaning, it has NO obligation to allow anyone to enter for any reasons. That is the ONLY thing that NCAA has ever prevented and they have EVERY right to do so.
The supreme court is and was out of line and hopefully some day we can get back to where individual rights does not include taking away the rights of people to organize as they see fit.
So straight from the start, the claim that the NCAA has ever prevented someone from getting paid is a 100% LIE.
