NIL - the separation between college athletes and college students is immense

would he have the same hype if he was playing somewhere besides hollywood

Is this meant to make me feel bad?


Most people in college shouldnt even be there anywhere.


There should be a gigantic gulf of separation between athletes and some 19yo never-did-nothing liberal arts major.

And this is coming from someone who absolutely hates the NIL era and how its replaced the pride athletes used to have in the program they played for.

My son score really well on ACT and had a very high GPA. I still have to pay some. He’s one of the top engineering student. Athletes have the world at their feet and don’t even realize it. Most don’t even belong on campus academically. I can see a minor league team associated with a college in near future. Just play and no school. Most don’t take any real classes anyway and have tutors galore, who do most of work.

I used to get more annoyed at "social influencers" and those dudes that post videos of themselves playing video games and getting paid millions than I do college athletes.

Then I realized in the end, if someone wants to shell out their money to lure a high school kid to their university , then so be it.


Everyone wants to get paid.

That is capitalism.

That's why I have no sympathy when a kid isn't eligible because he couldn't find the classroom for 5 years. Even before NIL, athletes had luxuries that other students couldn't even access.

They should all be doctors/lawyers/engineers with the advantages they are given. None should be enrolled in "history of south japanese anime".

The entire argument for the stipend that players (still) get that started several years back was to make athletes more equal to current students and pay the full cost of a college experience. Poor kids couldn't even afford to get their laundry done. The horrors.

LOL.

Dude needs an interior decorator. That's some sad shite out of "Boiler Room" where millionaires have an empty house and just a couch and a big screen.
