Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4049653, member: 1131"] I agree with this point, and also with the earlier point that the star lineman probably has NFL ambitions, which will be endangered if he is observed not doing his job (and they have individual cameras on every player during a big college game). Moreover, if word gets out that the reason the lineman is dogging it is that he wanted more moolah from the QB than the QB chose to give him, that will seal his fate as far as an NFL career is concerned. Having said that, it can't be good for team cohesion and team success if there is even [I]sub rosa[/I] grumbling by linemen about the QB's failure to share the wealth, or annoyance on the part of the QB with linemen who have a monetary agenda. I do think NIL will make achieving team cohesion a greater challenge, both in the selection of players and in the coach's management of their egos. Just another skill that coaches and players will have to develop and expect in others. [/QUOTE]
