@Coach Macho @LeedsCane great interview but I have many disagreements with what yall said. First of all the coach doesn't have to consider nobodies money, if the coach and the university didn't pay you a dime, why should they consider your NIL when evaluating your play.
Next thing you said you are worried that it's not gonna have kids motivated, that's wrong. First off by saying that it makes it seem every kid that doesnt have money is motivated because they don't have money and means, not true. Also why should the kids who are driven and motivated no matter what have to suffer so to speak because of lazy kids? How many 5 star busts long before NIL?
I'm gonna use multiple examples of why money doesn't change who you are fundamentally.
After Usain Bolt won the Olympic triple in 08, he was fine financially, yet he wanted to do It again in '12, he was double fine after that. Yet he did it again in 2016. That's his make up. Xavier Carter who is from Florida and went to LSU ran the fastest time in the 200m in like 06 for like 10 years, 19.63, Bolt got 4th in that race. Both guys went in opposite directions. Think Carter eventually went to Jail. That's 2 different guys with 2 different make ups, getting into money. Why should one guy suffer for the other?
Tom Brady didn't need to keep playing after leaving New England, none of the great athletes really need to keep playing but he is driven to work hard and win. JaMarcus Russell didn't become lazy and a codine addict when the raiders drafted him and gave him millions. He was already like this.
One more thing I'll use. Young Thug and YSL just got a rico indictment for gang banging, murders etc. These are rich people who claimed they needed to do all these things to get out the mud. Did they say ok let's switch up, move out the hood blah blah when they got millions in label deals, nope they bought more guns formed gangs etc.
Money is not the root of all evil, it exposes who you are. If a kid is lazy and gets money, he is gonna be lazy. If a kid is motivated and get money, he gonna pay for a trainer, he gonna work on his body etc.
It's on the coaches to scout these players more before recruiting them, find out what kinda person they are outside of football
The kids deserve the money cuz people are making billions on their backs. What they do with it, does not need to matter. End. Good podcast
