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

NIL is paid by 3rd parties, not the school or NCAA. The school and NCAA have fought since the dawn of time not to pay players. God forbid we let them capitalize on their name, much better that we pay coaches $78M to not coach.

Kids on academic scholarships have long been allowed to have jobs while athletes were not. Should those kids have to choose?

An awful lot of self righteousness by you because some kids skip and exhibition game that our sports culture has deemed “meaningless”. Remember that every time some one bitches about a coach that goes 9-3 as “not winning anything” or an 11-2 season and #3 finish as a failure because your team didn’t make the BCS or the playoff. It’s that stuff that made bowls meaningless the kids are just reacting to it.
