Message: [QUOTE="1974yankees, post: 5264583, member: 14003"] NIL has ruined the game in my opinion. So has the "transfer portal".....This goes for all college sports and especially football.... They are not really "amateurs" anymore when they are getting paid to play.....I just read somewhere where that Arch Manning of Texas (who was a backup QB for his first two years) is the highest paid NIL athlete at $6.5 million.... They are not "student athletes" anymore as far as I am concerned either. They are basically pro's now.... I am with Geno on this...It's a shame that money has ruined college athletics.... If someone argues that these athletes make the schools a ton of money, I would counter with the free tuition should be good enough. A four year tuition at Uconn for out of staters is about $253, 656... As a graduate from of Uconn myself, I don't remember anyone paying my way... Just my opinions on this matter.. [/QUOTE]
