Funny you should bring this up. Florida seems to be having a mass exodus today with some quality DL going in the portal.
Folks, kids want to get paid and i don't blame them. If you can pay coaches millions, you can't cry broke.
The schools pay the coaches, they cannot pay the players. They need to have the fans, boosters, or corporations step up for NIL payments.
Personally, I would prefer to not contribute NIL money to “buy” players and then see them leave. I don‘t do it for the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc. If I buy a jersey or attend a signing thats a different story.
I’d rather give my money to other causes for people in need, like T2T, Bridgeport Rescue Mission, Homeless Chidlren, etc. My spouse and have regular entities we contribute to and we try to find an additional different cause each month. I’ll pay for tickets, go to games, etc. I worked multiple jobs over 4 years to pay for my college education. I worked hard to ensure that my children had no student loans when they graduated. The players already receive a full scholarship including room and board. If they don’t value an education, thats on them.
