NIL collectives, newly created NIL programs, and multi-million dollar NIL deals are the direct result of market forces.

NIL is a DIRECT result of market forces. If there was no NIL market, there would have been no NIL lawsuit.

you made a solid post...I agree with your post

but you're describing a path for employees rather than students attending a university for and education.

you can not have both...

This is from Nick Saban on recruiting and building a program for success.

#1. Help the person become a better person
#2. Help the person become a good student and graduate
#3. Help the person become the best player than can become


Notice that best player objective is last on his priorities not first? ... This is the Saban doctrine, it's the same as Coach Kelly...

Graduate champions!

We're dealing with a culture pushing back on these values "That's all fine and dandy coach, but I need to get paid more money before we talk about those things" "show me you want me"

it's a hard pass for coaches... but! only because they're getting paid a lot of jack as a professional are they then/now tolerating a culture that is contrary to the values of the program.

It's a huge conflict of interest and core values.
