The fact that this kind of shite gets continually posted here is concerning.

Yes, players got paid before NIL. But it was not even in the same universe. There are now publicly traded companies, well-known alumni, etc., who would have never even considered giving players money, that are giving 6-figures in NIL.

That kind of shite NEVER happened before. Not even close.

Getting 5k and a car happened. Getting a bullshite job happened. The idea that players were regularly getting 6-figures of cash is ridiculous. The IRS would have gotten involved.

There were certainly rumors of elite players like Cam Newton and Zion Williamson getting paid big and maybe there was the occasional anomaly, but anything other than a car and maybe some spending money was extremely rare.

Thank you. You renewed my faith that there are people left out there who get it.
