For someone who's been sucking his dick for the last 10 years, I found it interesting.

It really isn't going to level the playing field because the schools that are elite, will still get the better players. Schools like that have already built a brand for decades.

What will change college football more are coaching changes like when Saban is gone. That is when the hierarchy MIGHT change.

Money > brand.

I could see why Saban might be against this. It's taking away his "advantage" as other coaches might otherwise not take the risk of getting slapped for it while Saban knows the extent to which he is being "protected" against any possible sanctions.


Hardly. "The Advantage" is the educator. It also distances school obligations and guilt if agents and big businesses overstep the NCAA bylaws. Coach Saban through the "Advantage" is showing players how to create endorsements for themselves and how to manage their wealth.

Big brother will still be watching everyone.

The brand schools like Ohio State for example always had the money and so NIL isn't going help or hurt them. They will always get the players as they stayed relevant for so long.

It can only be an advantage for second tier programs if they were only allowed access but not the top programs. Which will never happen.

No different than you not providing any evidence to the contrary.


I have made no claim regarding whether NIL will harm or benefit college football. For what reason do you believe that I have any burden of proof?

Where's your evidence for this assertion??


This is my anecdotal position, evidenced by me using the words, "I think". Why would you expect anything different from anecdotal evidence?

I expected nothing less than this from you. Sad, really.

If you go back and watch the games from the 80’s, college football is a shadow of what it once was. I don’t feel it has near as much cultural significance or carries near as much influence as it once did. The games had more passion, the announcers were iconic, the coaches were iconic, the schools had stronger traditions and identities, it was a man’s game about honor and character, you had real tackling, you had intact rivalries. It was better in so many ways. Plus, society wasn’t near as obnoxious as it is today. There wasn’t an injection of divisive offensive politics inserted into game coverage.

Yet here you are making unsupported assertions that NIL will damage college football. You have provided no evidence that it will, but are asserting your opinion as fact. You stated:

Nice ad hominem, by the way.
Firstly, my assertion is that money will damage college football, and it has shown to be the case as it becomes more prevalent in the game.
Secondly, the fact that you can't realize your own misconception makes your inexperience, or naivety the only two available options...no offense, just rationalization.
