When you pay the players, they become mercenaries.

This has hurt the SEC more than any other conference.

The conference sold out and our teams don’t play as a team anymore.

You can’t play a team sport with an individual mindset. Indiana proves that.

This along with the portal is a recipe for disaster

I disagree. It takes a different coaching mindset and different recruiting priorities. Many coaches haven't adjusted. Some have. DeBoer isn't one of them though.

If that’s the case, all teams in our conference haven’t adjusted except maybe Georgia (we’ll see).

Correct.

But I believe one of the overall problems with paying college players is the court system. The courts say you have to pay them for NAME IMAGINE and LIKENESS.... yet you can sign them into a contractual obligation. Therefore every year is free agency.
