re: NIL will land some of these young stars in career ending hot water....

I work in another athletic department in D-1. Universities and colleges will partner with 3rd party financial companies to teach student athletes how to manage and save their money they make off their name, image, and likeness. If anything, this encourages them to set themselves up for the future more so than not being able to profit off their NIL, especially those student athletes who do not make millions at the professional level.

This absolutely needs to happen and is my only real concern.

If the NCAA puts rules in place to forbid this or regards getting such services, gratis or paid, they should be curbed stomped each and every one of them. I fear they will consider such "agents", and that would be terrible.

This is a great opportunity to train them for the future. In fact, LSU should hire Lewis Neal for a full-time position just for this (all athletes, not just football).
