They could do that now with far more visible and known people than college football players.

Controlling NIL will be a cluster f***! They should have nipped this in the bud before ever rolling it out!

I think it's probably a good thing for the players. But for the rest of us...not so great.

The rest of us won't notice a difference.

I have a hunch this has already been the case for give or take ~150 years.

I'm not a fan of the NIL, but I don't think we need to worry about players getting paid by Russia to put their logo on Russian Bombers.

Or is it like car performance stickers and it will make the bomber fly faster?

So, UCLA says play here and make 20K a month vs.
Nebraska being able to pony up 2 dollars.

Is that how this is going to work?

If so, then yes; football is fubar.

These kids are about to find out what the letters IRS mean. And if you thought the transfer portal was bad before, just wait. A lot of mid tier programs are going to lose their best players.

True. But these are the coddled masses in our universities.

Do you really think these programs are just going to let them sink or swim on their own?

How much more staff will have to be added? Financial advisors will now be agents?

They have classes on how to handle everything from interviews, PR, etc. They'll just add more to cover the basics of taxes.

That’s something that was going to happen organically anyway. UCLA is in a hot bed and offer as much as anyone in the country. Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere & forfeited their most successful recruiting ground.

The Supremes ruling on Amateur College athletes NIL is exactly like allowing Judges to receive NIL from any person, corporation, country, or entity to follow their agenda exclusively.
Bruh, did you just compare paying a kid to throw a ball to paying the highest court in the land for preferential ruling?

I'm inclined to believe what you say. Poaching players will be so easy. Players will be on the portal for bigger paydays. We'll see.
