NIL and the fall of college football

[indian-outlaw]

I am for anything that takes money from colleges and the Ncaa. They have been stealing long enough. IMO this makes every school more equal, they all can play by the same rules. True equality

So boosters buying recruits under NIL? And you think all schools will be more equal? I do think it's time the athletes are compensated but there has to be some limits to it. Or it just becomes professional sports.

It is absolutely all equal for every team.

All teams are playing by the same rules. If you don't like it get more boosters

They are playing by the same rules, but it doesn't level the playing field. Players benefit, status quo for schools.

I'm afraid that genie is out of the bottle, it's here, collegiate sports as we once knew is dead .

I'm not at all ready to call it the death knell. More like something to adjust to. And I don't believe for a second that UM is necessarily at a bad starting position.
Nike's first NIL deal is with - a women's soccer athlete who doesn't have a large social following.

Given UM's connection(s) at Nike, I would not be surprised to see the company, and others, strike NIL deals for smaller amounts of money with student-athletes at smaller schools. Why? Because authenticity is incredibly important to GenY and younger and that's exactly the sort of deal that appeals to that set. That's why Nike is said to plan to use her rise as a way to get more girls into sports.

It might be a new day, but I don't think it's the death of college football.

The WWE is investing a lot of money into college athletes. Hell, they're making it known on their TV shows. A Portland State player is 1 of them.
