You have no clue what you’re talking about. The key words in my post were “20 football programs making $100,000,000+ per year”, not “auction”. Limited participants + huge amounts of money involved =/= free market valuation in any sense of the term

With all due respect, it just sounds like you don't really know what a free market means. She probably go look up an auction and free market. This guy is going to play for the highest bidder regardless of the pool of participants. Yes many people are priced out of being able to bid but that's because his price tag is so high. Still a free market. Again, I don't think you understand what free market means

Cool. So explain how one would go about starting their own D1 football program to get in on the bidding since it’s a free market and all. With all due respect, you’re an idiot and anyone who thinks a pool of ~20 state owned institutions being funded by mega-rich donors bidding on a few individuals who suit their needs is indicative of actual market valuation is an idiot too.

The fact that NIL even has to be funded by people like Gordon McKernan in the first place instead of businesses making sound investments and expecting an actual ROI is all that anyone needs to see to know that these kids are artificially getting way above market value for their services.

Just to hammer the point home, just because the US military will pay $5,000 for a roll of duct tape doesn’t mean that the market value of a roll of duct tape is $5,000. Your thought process on this is wrong
