these type of players will play soft, playing not to get hurt to make it to the next level while they collect big checks in college

To be fair, that was already beginning to happen before NIL.

I do agree, college football is definitely not the same and not in a good way. I would respect it more if teams approached NIL like a business since that’s what it is now. If you don’t perform to expectations, you’re out. But NIL is too loosely organized and disconnected from the universities for that to work
