It really all boils down to one question with this NIL stuff.

Should a human being be allowed to profit off of their NIL? If you don't believe so... wow.

LOL. That way oversimplifies the situation. That’s like saying “Do you believe everyone should earn a living wage” or “Should every woman have the right to decide what to do with their body?”

It’s obviously a lot more complicated than that and it isn’t black & white. The whole reason I’ve opposed it isn’t because I don’t believe that a human being shouldn’t be able to profit from NIL, it’s because it’s a Pandora’s Box of issues that could be almost impossible to regulate and IMO, the benefits that a bigtime college athlete currently receive (especially in football) shouldn’t be scoffed at.

Lots of fields restrict their employees from profiting off their name, image, and tie to an organization. It isn't a new concept.

Should a police chief be able to don his uniform, introduce himself as the chief, and do a commercial for a local alarm company?
