Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4314538, member: 12088"] As a college professor, I can say with confidence that the athletic department looks to faculty everywhere like a perverse and absurd imposition on any school’s educational mission. This doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy watching the kids play. But all talk of NIL somehow distorting or even ruining college sports just seems absurd to us. The NCAA has so distorted every American university as to make such a thought seem laughable. The only point of view on NIL that makes sense to faculty is the moral one. And as several folks have said, the traditional arrangement with schools and coaches getting rich and kids getting so little is too obviously immoral. This is why I’d say that NIL is the right course regardless of its impact on recruitment or even competition. Let the states figure out what sort of higher education that want and then design NIL rules accordingly. [/QUOTE]
