Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 5091270, member: 11252"] For me, I think I still don't have a full understanding of NIL so it's hard to judge. I thought it wasn't supposed to be pay for play. I just thought the school can kinda help get deals or sponsorships. Can Newton recently talked about Shedeur Sanders and said once the NCAA accepted/launched NIL, college athletes were open to criticism, almost suggesting that it ended it being amateur sports. But I thought that was incorrect. The criticism that pros get especially the ones who are paid high amounts from an organization, is due to them not living up to what the organization pays them. It's the same in any organization. If u find out someone with the same title is making triple the money but underperforming it makes sense to want to correct or reevaluate. NIL is different. If the Cavinder twins get an under armor deal cuz they are marketable, its silly to criticize them if they have bad games. Sorry for the side rant but there's a bit of a distinction for me. Because I thought it's not supposed to be pay for play, I don't like stuff like this. However I do hope she makes a lot of money, more than the 1 million. I kinda hope she goes to a program like Texas Tech. If she brings national attention to that program and takes them to the second weekend and beyond she would be worth far more than the 1 million over 4 years. Like how much was Caitlin Clark worth to Iowa and the NCAA? She probably was/is underpaid in terms of her market value. [/QUOTE]
