re: Are our NIL capabilities really still this far behind?

This NIL junk is crazy already. I thought it wasn't supposed to be a pay to come play. It was meant to be come here and be successful and NIL opportunities will arise. The fact that coaches are talking about bidding wars to get players is the exact thing that was supposed to be against the rules. Not counting tampering behind the scenes to contact players on other teams that are not in the portal. I have always thought that it is good to give the kids something but within reason. cap it out to where the most a kid can make is like $50k per year. what other students out there make anywhere near that working while going to school full time.
