Sorry to any offended, but I really hate this. Jmo... but the number 369 player in the nation should be grateful for offers from some top programs to potentially display and grow his talents (as well as getting a free education), and not making it apparent that he's open to the highest bidder. I just think it sends the wrong message to any team that's thinking of making him an offer... if he doesn't play year one then likely hits the portal by year two.

I actually think it's great when people use their talent to make money. But I think it becomes a problem when an average talent (currently) expects perhaps the same as great talent.

How to say, "I know nothing about how NIL works", without saying, "I know nothing about how NIL works"...not to mention, good ole fashioned capitalism.

From ESPN article on Quinn Ewers when he signed an NIL deal….

Texas is one of just three states that have a law prohibiting high school athletes from profiting off NIL.

Law needs to change.

I guess I never really equated capitalism with simply asking others for money.

Lol so because he’s not highly rated then he shouldn’t try to monetize his talent? How do you know what he expects?

What are you even saying right now?

Recruiting services say average talent. That should not deter one from knowing their own worth. That being said.....One problem with NIL is how many kids with actually strive to reach their full potential if handed money based on what services say they might be? One of the things I've always loved most about college football is that it wasn't a business for the players (At least not until draft eligible) . I don't completely disagree with NIL, but I feel players should have to prove their value at every level.

That’s the free market, my friend. If a business decides to enter an NIL deal with an unproven talent then that’s on the business. Up to them.

He’s inquiring about a business deal where he would promote a business in exchange for money. That’s how these work. He’s not just asking for money for nothing in return like a politician.

Marco, I understand what a business deal is... and I understand what asking for money is.

If you think any business needs to pay a 389th player to help grow their business, then you're the one who doesn't understand NIL deals.
