I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again, NIL has always been going on, it’s just that now the numbers are not rumors, or at least are not rumors as much as they used to be.

What’s killing NCAA football is the immediate and unlimited transfers due to the NCAA not allowing NIL to be tied to attendance at a university.

The idea that this is a result of inaction by the NCAA is silly. Any attempt to regulate or restrict athletes ability to earn money without a collective bargaining agreement would have been struck down by the courts. This can only be fixed by the student athletes forcing a union and collectively bargaining, or by Congress. Athletes have little incentive to collectively bargain, so all that’s left is Congress.

Yes and no... certain programs had supporters willing to risk infractions or whatever the NCAA would do... now supporters who wouldn't risk damage to a university reputation under the old rules can support players financially...but you right NIL wouldn't be as bad without the transfer rule

The numbers are 10x what they were before. Maybe more. This isn’t some local alum slipping Johnny a sack of hundreds. There are publicly traded companies involved. There are rich alums who never would’ve considered giving illicit cash, participating in NIL.

Say “it’s always been like this” is completely wrong.
