Gary is wrong. Matt is right. Nothing can be done to limit how much $$$ players make with NIL deals. NIL business is a player’s private life that has no legal affiliation with the school or the athletic department. We don’t live in Communist Russia under Joseph Stalin and we don’t live in today’s North Korea. What a player does in his private life as far as earning a legal income cannot be regulated. The Supreme Court has already addressed this issue. The NCAA lost. Any attempt at trying to limit money an athlete can earn by penalizing him athletically or academically will result in the NCAA/School being sued and they will lose.
Why is it so difficult for all of you out there to grasp and accept the reality of this most basic concept of our constitution and our legal system? All of you calling for limits on the money and regulating what players can do don’t seem to be doing that in any other aspect of American society except with college athletes? 🤔
Matt quite correctly pointed out the only way to affect NIL bidding wars is eliminating the ability to transfer without having to sit out one year as was the old system. Then players really won’t be able to shop themselves around for bigger NIL contracts. But that will only affect players already in college. It won’t do anything about how NIL affects recruiting of the better high school players. The best players in high school will still be able to legally investigate which school‘s boosters offer the best NIL deals. And they will use that information to help decide what school to sign with. That can’t be stopped.
So for whatever psychological deal you got going on that makes you absolutely unable to bear continuing to watch the greatest football players in the world outside of the NFL put on a phenomenal and entertaining display of a fantastic sport then yes leave, get the hell out of here, never watch another minute of college football as long as you live. The sport will continue to thrive and prosper. It may have a different structure and different levels but it will still have legions of fans and it will continue to prosper. And guess what, when you stop watching nobody will care!!!!!!!
