There is absolutely nothing good about this, & the only reason y u’re stating this is b/c Miami has benefited “somewhat” from this.
Our roster has been in influx since 2019 w/ no cohesion. So yeah, we’ve been able to buy a player for a season or two, w/ what results? Meanwhile, u have a school like Texas that’s buying up the whole **** CFB world. Oregon is buying up every 5 star walking planet earth.
I don’t want that ****; u want CFB to be ran like California, & I’m saying California is a total **** show b/c of lack of parameters. EVERY infrastructure needs structure. I do not want college athletics to lose what made college athletics different than professional athletics. Ppl still care about college.
So yes, there needs to be parameters around both NIL & The Transfer Portal, & I really wish u would stop looking at things from an Orange & Green lens vs. the betterment & health of the entire sport. Under the table bags should’ve always been regulated w/ extreme prejudice, just like removing the ability of a student athlete to make $$ off their NIL should’ve never been imposed. There’s a happy medium, but I feel both sides r way too right & way too left.
Again, I’m all for NIL. If Pepsi wanna pay player A $2m for 5 yrs to star in their commercial, so be it. If Adidas wanna pay player B $1.5m to rock their products, so be it. If Mercedes want player C to advertise their car on campus, so be it. If The University shares $$ from jersey sales to player D, so be. But if the Collectives from University wanna pay E to play at their favorite school, or steal player E from their current school, that’s bull **** & not the intent of NIL.
