Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4379819, member: 6872"] I don’t dislike NIL so much because the previous system was sooooo unfair as coaches were being paid so much in comparison to players. What I dislike is the sudden combination of NIL and free agency. I truly despise the sudden explosion of the transfer portal. What could’da been: schools should have been required to pay a “minimum wage” to every player for every hour they were required to spend on team activities such as practice, film study, weight training etc capped at 40 hrs per week. Plus scholly, room and board. Yes, the current federal minimum wage needs to be upped - maybe not doubled as Seattle has done but at least 10.00 per hour. Oh well, it’s the Wild Wild West right now. I don’t like it but would be satisfied if the portal rules were tweaked to control it aa little better. No, I don’t know what would work. [/QUOTE]
