re: NIL and the transfer portal are to blame for the Gophers not hosting a public spring game

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.
