When a College QB makes more than a Starting NFL QB Rookie or 2 year Player QB then we have a Problem and NIL is a Problem

When you cannot regulate Salary Caps for Colleges, then you have a problem

When you don't have a Balance of Power like a Draft based on Level and then you have a problem

NIL has taken the Earning it to Get the Payday. Not sure but hey I can make money and I suspect Class attendance will Drop.

Handlers/Agents wow more fuel to the fire. Expect the bribing of Recruiting to elevate the Star Status
of a HS Athlete for a bigger Payday.

Basically, NIL is a signing bonus based on Recruiting Services that cannot possibly evaluate all the Athletes.

If you cannot buy a team in the NFL you should not be able to Buy a team in the College Ranks. See Texas A&M. $30 Million Spent.

I am all for paying College Athletes, Teams need Caps and every Player on the Team should benefit. The Problem is that the NCAA has no ability, capability, or authority to control this.

The Transfer Portal will only contribute to this even More. Player A can opt to go into it and teams can also solicit a player through an agent from another team with an enticing raise.

I am all for NIL but it came before any ground rules were established and the NCAA sat on their a$$ and did nothing but watch the door hit them in the face....

It's bad for college football without any adult supervision and will get worse.

With all these Million Dollar freshmen playing this fall, the drop in the quality of football should be expected. Or will they redshirt?

5- These kids aren’t getting anymore money than before. It’s just legal now. NOTHING else has changed.

I strongly disagree with this statement. There is big a difference between Eric Dickerson getting a car to go to SMU and another athlete being guaranteed a One million dollar NIL deal. And the NIL will only favor the bigger schools with the bigger money (not that Tennessee isn't one of them). But, if you think that there is a disparity between Power 5 schools and the rest right now -- Just WAIT until the NIL deals start rolling out......

I don't mind the transfer rules. A player should be able to go to school where he wants to. NIL is a whole different matter. Where it all ends, nobody knows.

If it’s better , then why are all these players leaving? The long snapper, Beckwith, and just read Tyler Baron.

NIL is GOOD for football. It is not ruining it, putting UT at any kind of disadvantage or anything else.

All NIL (and functioning exactly as it should)- is doing is exactly what it is intended to do: making the paying of players legal and in the open.

This is important (beneficial) for many reasons:
1- It allows the NCAA to function without having to waste millions of dollars trying to investigate and prosecute cases where every school and sport in the nation breaks the rules.
2- It makes the paying of players legal so that the kid actually gets what he is promised, the payer can run the money through payroll, and neither party is breaking any laws. This is very important for those handing out the cash and for those taking it.

3- The coaches and institutions no longer have to deal with the seediness and hypocrisy of having “plausible deniability.” Not to mention the time it takes to teach kids how to hide money and not flaunt etc. etc. This is grimey and horrible.

4- The schools can truly know what the top offer for a kid is - unlike before when the kids agent (dad, uncle, HS coach, etc) handled the bidding.

5- These kids aren’t getting anymore money than before. It’s just legal now. NOTHING else has changed. Let me repeat that one more time:
NOTHING else has changed. We will still outbid Georgia for Jamal Lewis. We will still outbid Bama for Tee Martin. We will still outbid FSU and UF for Travis Henry. Our ladies basketball team will still outbid UConn. Our ladies golf team will still outbid Georgia - ( hell yes - even this happens - Ex UGA ladies head golf coach gave me some great stories about this).

In Sum - nothing has changed and this is better for all parties involved. Each team can have 85 players on payroll. Same as in 1995.
So can we drop this please?
Thank you.

Nice post. Not so sure you're right on all points, but thanks for your thoughts.

Going to be funny sort of like watching George Steinbrenner when his Yankee dollars did not generate pennants with reckless free agent spending, when Jimbo’s bonus babies fall flat. And they will.

I disagree. Some teams have more money than others. Just like Walter Nolen going to A & M. I’m pretty sure Georgia didn’t want Jamal Lewis, they chose Jasper Sanks, which was a bust. College Football is now the NFL. I don’t think it’s a good thing

Throw the transfer portal in with NIL and it’s a freaking mess. Screwing up college football as we know it.

NIL along with the new non sit out transfer rule is creating free agency. This is the reason I stopped watching baseball. College football used to be about locality and disliking your rivals. If a player transfers from UT to Alabama, for example, they never really cared about UT. In addition, Whether we like it or not, the purpose of college football was giving scholarships to students representing our university who might not go to college otherwise. Why do I want to donate money to help pay for a scholarship for a player who may be making more money than I am.

Completely disagree. NIL will lead to a legitimate minor league with full contracts and terms agreed upon. At some point, paying players openly and legally will financially skyrocket while being associated with schools and either need rules and regulations or eventually get so out of hand a minor league will need to be formed leaving schools out of the picture and free educations out of the picture for these athletes.
To the OP, players were not getting millions under the table previously. Also, players (Cade Mays for example are already asking for large figures to return for one more year to add to the problem. It’s just begun. It will only get worse financially as long as schools are affiliated. We will see I guess how it evolves in the next few years and if they can regulate it somehow. I hope you’re right though. JMO
