Ohio State Is Reportedly Getting Outbid On Recruits By As Much As A Million Dollars

Pathetic. Good Bye College Football. You will be missed.

All hail, NIL. Had enough? Don’t forget to pay the tuba player…

College football can never go back and the NCAA is largely to blame for not getting on top of this issue. The only way to introduce any sense of stability is to lock the players down for their entire college career. You are getting paid, so why not a contract that keeps them from using the portal to get "a better deal."

I'm so gad this is happening. I said 3 years ago this is not good, it wont work like people think, boosters will get involved. As long as the person telling them how much money they will make is not a booster it is completely legal. People said, oh the players need a little something, it will amount to a few thousand dollars, it wont be what you think it is. Well, you can't get a little bit pregnant. When you opened this and kept the rules that were there in place it was over. The coach or a booster can't tell a kid what he's gonna get but a booster can give a student a hundred bucks to relay that info and it is legal since they are not a booster.

I have no clue how this is sustainable… NIL would have to be beneficial to the respective business. How in the world is giving a high school senior, an unnamed recruit, 1.8 million going to be that value to any alumni or some alumni cooperative?

How does UGA Alumni have so much more money compared to the rest of the nation?

Sounds a lot like colleges are illegally involved in NIL promises

college football is being destroyed right before our very eyes. Very, very sad.

The contracts these kids are signing need to be available to the public just like the coaches contracts, at public schools.

That way we can critique their on-field performance vs. their salary, just like we do with the pros.

RUINED

That's gross

Insane. This makes 2019 even more glorious.

This is sick

Free agency every year with every player. They are ruining it.

Better put in some type of rules and real enforcement or this sport is dead...all thanks to the knee jerk reaction summer 2020 over "equity."

How is UGA offering signing bonuses and contracts? I didn’t think that was how NIL was supposed to work.

I've been out of the loop so long. I knew players could be paid for their likeness now. I guess I haven't paid attention to recruiting in a while. I didn't realize college players could be paid more than some NFL players.

This is why NIL is stupid.

I'm àbout completely checked out of college athletics. I just don't watch sports now. Mountain biking and kayaking it is.

NIL and Portal killed any interest I had in CFB. I’m not saying the players don’t deserve to be compensated, but CFB won’t be a part of my Saturdays.
