Reverse NIL if you will. This is no longer college athletics. And spare me the everybody used to do it speches. They didn’t. To me the real culprits in this mess were the NBA with their 1-done rule originally put in place to protect older hanger on players, and the NCAA for not cracking down very quickly. And the NCAA for micro managing things Like dictating food choices and buying a kid a hot dog. Basically, when there are law firms specializing in NCAA rule books, it has gone way too far. Finally there are still folks who play the game for the sake of the game. They play at places like Trinity and Wesleyan and Coast Guard and Southern Connecticut. The guys aren’t going to the NBA or the NFL, but they play well and hard. [/QUOTE]
