NIL will kill the NFL

CEOs of large multimillion corporations are about to figure out that they can buy national championships for their Alma maters by simply paying NFL money to blue chip recruits, even more.

And if you’re that blue chip player making 10 mil + per season at XYZ university, why would you go to the NFL for probably less money and the risk of permanent injury when you can walk away from college with 40 mil in your pocket?

Maybe they ought to rename the NCAA the World Football League or Arena Football or something similar.

Here's a thought. D1 football is now a professional league. Any similarity between it and student athletes fighting for their alma maters and their states has gone by the boards. The athletes you see in your school colors are there for the money.

Woke will kill the NFL long before NIL does.

They can’t live in college forever. They eventually have to go pro.

Would you go to the NFL as a round 1 pick if you walked away from college with 40-50 mil? I would not.

That would be few and far between. I don't think there will be many college players making 10+ million.

I'm not even sure the NFL would even be bothered by losing the top 5 guys to NIL every year. Plus there are tons of superstar NFL players that wouldn't have made that much money in the college if the NIL was around during their collegiate career

The ONLY solution to this WHOLE problem is for the NFL to create a farm system and draft out of HS just like baseball. You dont want to go to class.... go to the NFDL. Get the PROS OUT of college athletics!!

If there were a NFDL, the targeting rule would not be a part of it. I am to the point that whatever gets rid of that is in the best interest of football. If a NFDL replaces the NCAA as the best path to the draft? So be it. And to those who disagree? You ate the 5h1t sandwiches I didn't.

No one will get 40 mil in college.

The entire idea of NIL money is complete BS in my opinion. I'm not gullible enough to believe that dudes haven't been getting paid under the table at major college programs. They have been forever, and regardless of the NIL money that is now the thing in college athletics they would have continued to get "paid" in the future. College football has had a problem with peddling dirty money by big money boosters for a long time. They just made it legal and public now. This may be an old school take on this, but I have twins that will be heading to college next year and believe me, I am acutely aware of the expenses of sending a child off to school. The majority of these kids were already on full-ride scholarships which equates to them getting paid upwards of $100,000 each with tuition and fees over 4 years. In my opinion, if you want to take the NIL deal, fine, take it. In return, there needs to be some sort of rule stating that the same amount of your scholarship money up to an equal amount of your NIL deal will be redistributed outside of the athletic department to other students that otherwise would have no other choice but take out loans for their tuition. My children are getting turned down for financial aid because they made too much money at Chic-fil-A and Starbucks as 17 year olds busting their ass to try and help themselves. If you are making enough money from NIL to go out and get a new 14 carat gold grill in your mouth, new car, gold chains, etc. then you have enough money to pay your own damn tuition and fees. Again, just my humble opinion.

Sorry, but that seems a bit communist. "If you make money from source X, you can't have made it from source Y. And we'll redistribute your wealth to people who didn't work for it."

It seems to me that: (a) (NIL or no NIL), the student athlete makes a contractual agreement with the university. The market will dictate. (b) If the market allows them to make additional income from other sources, it doesn't have any bearing on the original agreement with the college. (c) People who didn't put in the time, talent or work have no right to the proceeds from the athlete's work.

Hint: Your daughters aren't contributing to the beast that is making millions of dollars a year for the university via gate fees and television contracts. You've somehow created a false equivalency. It seems odd to want to minimize the amount of money an athlete can make for their talents and efforts so that someone else can benefit from their work and talent.

Geez. That's straight Marxism.

College football has been a farm system for decades.

The NFL will be fine. They are too big to just go away. When college football allows a player to get drafted and then come back and play if they don’t like who drafted them or the money they expect to get, that could impact the current system. Right now the NFL doesn’t have to worry about that. With NIL players need agents to work out the details.

Revenue sharing in college football will be the next test. Who all get a share? How much will their share be? Right now NIL is a way to stop paying players under the table. It’s doesn’t impact University money and budgets.

Not sure about that, but I am thinking playoff expansion is next because so many players are opting out of bowl games. Make the games mean something and the players will play. Just a thought...
