24/7 Article on NIL amounts and recruiting

[Coach25]

I have one

so let’s say we get collective bargaining and players are officially employees.

can said employer now trade employee to another employer for a player to be named later?

Naw but players now just have to put in a two week notice to enter the portal and quit 😉 Wonder if players will ever go on strike and picket on the Universities 😂

Signs will be like…
15,000 Minimum Wage
It’s a Need Not Greed
What do we want… Dental!!! When do we want it… Now!!! 😆

Little kids are already asking how they can get paid to play little league sports just because they have been watching YouTube.

Forget getting them to mow the lawn. If the price ain't right, you won't even get them to play little league baseball...

NIL has poisoned sports at every level...

FIFY

Maybe I missed it, but - isolated incidents aside - NIL is P2P; why haven’t the media confronted these useless pinheads at every opportunity (every time they show their face in public) and asked them why they are allowing their own rules to be literally disregarded en masse?
Going after one or two teams is a joke.

NIL isn't evil, but the love of money undermines a lot of good things.

I agree would love to go back to the sitting out a year but NCAA doesn’t want that anymore… the NCAA wants parity in college football. They also like the publicity of players transferring and keeping the news cycle full when someone hires or fired a head coach. The more people transfer around the more likely teams will get better and others get worse. They hate that Alabama was in the playoffs year after year.

Rhetorical question here, but does anyone think that anyone other than Alabama fans were upset that Alabama lost star players when Saban retired? No they were so happy that it happened and I can’t blame them we have been on one historical run since Saban has come to town. Honestly it will be the same if UGA keeps being in the national title hunt each year. Then loses Kirby in the next few years and we will cheer as well that they fall down some notches and lose some of the star players. Just the kind of landscape we have this day and age for better or worse it is what it is.

Gronkowski and Kelce are the same age, both 34. Hard to believe …. This is what happens when you have two threads open in two windows. 🤣

The love of money has forever been the root of all evil. The more things change…the more things stay the same.

I didn't realize the Hunt family who owns the Kansas City Chiefs also owns the Hunt Refinery in Tuscaloosa. Maybe they can donate some NIL $$$ to Bama football?

College football is a business, a big business. Coaches make tens of millions, stadiums cost hundreds of millions. I have no problem with players getting paid. Players score the touchdowns and win the games. College football will never go back to what it was (you know where players were paid illegally instead). Can't put the genie back in the bottle. This is capitalism.

Also the players have all the power because if they decide to not play...well then there's no game at all. Boosters will meet their demands and get them back on the field. The alternative would be no team and a ton of lost money.

I think NIL is here to stay, but I think as CFB continues in its evolution there will be (legal) framework and (legal) agreed-upon restrictions for both the NIL and transfer portal. This current volatility is unsustainable for CFB.

The NCAA can try to regulate it, but the SEC and B1G can tell the NCAA to kick rocks and do whatever they want. Breaking away from the NCAA seems inevitable at this point. Remember, the conferences all ready hold an independent playoff where they make the rules. The day is coming one way or another.
