Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4001818, member: 1522"] I think anyone who isn't completely out of touch agrees NIL should be allowed for student athletes. There will obviously be resentments when some of the kids are cleaning up like crazy and some are still just regular college basketball players like they've always been. Headaches galore for coaches but whatever, figure it out and NCAA figure it out...The terrifying thing if you're a fan of this whole college sports thing is boosters beeing allowed to have free reign... I can't understand how anyone who has watched how we've run as a country isn't terrified of this becoming the Larry Ellison's against the Jeff Bezos's against the Phil Knights against the Elon Musks. I might be overstating it but it seems we're now open up to this sort of thing happening. I still haven't seen enough, read enough, and haven't seen where this is going but from what I have...it needs to be highly regulated. People seem to still be debating how it will effect the landscape with the local car dealership guy being involved. Sure, that's a thing but we're in this limbo right now where it could become Pony Express ×20. As a college sports fan I hate it but if this the road we're choosing to travel down...Dave Benedict, Lamont etc. better be on the horn with Vince McMahon and Ray Dalio. If we're going full clown let's be the clown leaders. [/QUOTE]
