I honestly love that players can finally get paid. They deserve it. The main issue is the lack of regulation with NIL where boosters/collectives are paying for players instead of utilizing their Name/Image/Likeness.

College sports were introduced as amateur sports, but they evolved past that. Once it hit the 2000's and ridiculous money started being made by the NCAA, schools, and coaches, it became time to consider it. The NCAA refused to even look at it, though.
There was already money being made before the 2000's, but once TV contracts and cable exploded, it felt fair for the players to at least see something. If the NCAA had jumped ahead of it, they could have put a cap on it and ensured a more level playing field instead of the insanity we are seeing right now which is driven by NIL and the transfer portal being implemented at the same time.
