These comparisons aren’t really hitting like you think. This is a guy who was under NBA contracts returning to college.
Ah, in that case, maybe he can consult with Jovic on the best major to pick after playing multiple seasons professionally.

The economics still have to be attractive for players to choose NCAA over [insert professional league here]. Tell me exactly what college booster is going to pay LeBron what he's making in NBA salary plus whatever endorsement money he is earning (that's linked to participation in the NBA).

I can assure you college NIL is more attractive than G League or euro league.

Lebron loves himself. He wouldn't be doing it for the money.

You’re showing your ignorance. Europeans routinely play professionally in high school before declaring for the NBA or going to college.

Jovic is only 20 and started playing “professional” Euro ball when he was 16.

There ya go, a better comparison but still not on point.

Your lack of intelligence and moral compass is telling.

Is paying people via the NIL mechanism unethical?

How exactly is this “unethical”?

This is professional sports now and nothing, me, you or Nate Oats says or does is going to fix or change that.

Same "professional" came to America and said he was not used to everyone being more talented than him. If you know anything about him you'd know he is raw.

So Nate Oats brought in foreign professionals?

Nate Oats ruled in favor of NIL?

What are you even talking about?

I don’t even really like college sports very much anymore but if you want to get angry at someone do it at the federal courts that ruled it’s a pro sport with pro athletes not the coaches or the fans trying to track how to compete in the new environment.

Fine, we'll get him to change his name to Bediakovic.

It's beyond time for the P4 conferences to go out on there own. Set their own rules.

The courts will allow anything. Soon schools will be bringing back NBA reserves. Baseball will bring back minor league players. And Kiffin will be the first to talk somebody out of the draft after they don’t perform well at the combine.

Yes, but only for this season due to his eligibility clock starting in 21-22. Can you pay him more than the $10 million he’s making now?

Who does Bama cut to fit him on the roster?

I guess baseball is on the verge of bringing back minor leaguers to finish out their playing eligibility

House settlement lets teams have 15 roster spots; we currently have 13 scholarship players.
