No one is thinking beyond today on any of these issues, & now u have a whole bunch of tape trying to be applied on open holes (pause).

I’m not against NIL, I’m against what’s transpired from it b/c there’s no parameters or regulations. Even in professional sports there’s parameters & regulations.
I agree 100%
 
What still shocks me is that NIL, upon its purest argument, was never meant for any of this, especially HS athletes.

It was designed for enrolled college athletes to be compensated for whenever their name, image, or likeness was used in any monetary capacity, and prohibit the NCAA to deem their amateur status ineligible if they were to commercialize & monetize off their N.I.L.

But, whenever u get politics involved in things that’s not truly in their purview, well u get this.

Yup, exactly.

The first case I remember where it affected a player and their eligibility, was Jeremy Bloom at Colorado. He was an Olympic skier who had endorsements for that sport.

I thought it was a trash ruling back then, in particular when there were players who had tried going pro in something else (I see you baseball), having cashed checks, but then allowed back with football eligibility.

The way NIL is today, it's nothing but pay for play to the highest bidder in most cases.
