re: NIL drastically changing Col Football...FL still sucks

I will tell you what sucks. Without NIL you could be the best football player in the world and unable to significantly profit from that talent until you’re a full three years out of high school.

As many true freshmen as there are stepping in and playing key roles for great college teams, some of those guys are ready to at least contribute in the NFL at an early age - but can’t.

So frick everyone who thinks the 20 y/o football phenoms shouldn’t get paid like every other great athlete in every other sport can.

The NFL isn’t college’s problem? Well, guess what? The athlete’s ability to strike a deal with a company that wants to hitch to his imminent stardom isn’t your business either. And your program’s inability to win without him isn’t his problem either.

There’s too much money in college football, too much pressure to win, and the great players have too much talent (6’4’’ 220 lb. with a 4.4 doesn’t grow on trees) for this not to have been inevitable.
