The university is not paying the playerLike to go back to concept of college sports being amateur. Schools could offer athletic scholarships that would cover the cost of a college education. As far as on the court, athletes play because they love the sport. If they don't, then don't take the scholarship. A star QB should not get paid more than the dudes protecting them. The place to get paid is the NBA, WNBA OR NFL.
WellWe're a capitalist country.. NIL isnt going anywhere, nor should it. The players deserve more value than they had been getting. That being said, the bag drop version of NIL may not sustain like this. Again being capitalists, these boosters may get tired of handing over all this money year after year and not making much in return. It may be fun to do now but the Timberlake's of the world Im sure are leaving a bad taste in these booster's mouths.
