Not unpopular by me. I’ve said players should be given a choice… NIL or traditional scholarship route.

1) Traditional Scholarship route everything is paid for you but no NIL contract.

2) NIL. Sign whatever deal you want but you pay for EVERYTHING. Tuition, housing, meals, nutrition plan, S&C plan, coaching, and most importantly… the right to wear the uniform (this scales with the visibility… 11am game costs less than a top 10 prime time exposure game).

Take your pick.

Bahahahahaha!

1. No program has the balls to try something like this unilaterally because players would go elsewhere and the program would get its arse kicked.

2. It's very possible to make legitimate NIL money in today's world. You're going to take a high profile athlete like Tim Tebow off scholarship because he has a million followers on Instagram?

Not suggesting a unilateral approach and I’m not opposed to NIL. I’m opposed to the lack of any guardrails that have allowed it to rapidly morph into a pay-for-play scheme. Who could’ve seen that coming?

While the SC upheld NIL, they didn’t dictate how the compensation would work. The NCAA missed a chance to say “you will be financially compensated for your NIL… either through a traditional scholarship offer or through a NIL deal. Both offer financial benefit to you. You chose which works best for your situation but you don’t get both.”
