Not a big fan of McKernan but he is doing NIL the right way and actually paying them to use their “Name, Image, and Likeness” in his advertisements.

Yeah no athlete ever graduated and got a good job just because they played a sport at a university.

This thread reminds me of the scene right before the gif below where Chevy has $50K checks just lying around his apartment uncashed.

Sounds like he’s lazy.

or the university and program gives him everything he needs right now during season.
Place to live, free food, free clothes, free education, free medical, and i think a stipend.

Mail the kid his money, or set up a direct deposit. Damn Gordon, get it done!

Would you do your job for a dorm room, a meal plan, and a gym?

Players get a full ride scholarship. At some schools, that's $75k. They get the use of hundreds of millions, or perhaps over a billion, dollars worth of facilities. They play under the school's brand, which is also incredibly valuable. They get top flight coaching, training, nutrition, academic assistance, etc. And massive exposure on the TV networks, and the chance to make very important business contacts that they can lean on after leaving school.
All in, that's well, well over $100k value per year.
So would I take that deal as an 18 year old? Abso-freaking-lutely I would.

But we all know sports can't be a purely free-market endeavor. If so, the rich school/teams would buy all the best players and slant the competitive balance, which would destroy the sport.
Ever heard of a salary cap? Ever heard of slotted rookie contracts? Ever heard of scholarship limits? Why do those exist - because they are certainly anti-free market?
It's to protect the overall balance and health of the game.
If college sports turns into a feeding frenzy of cash and transfers chasing money, the big-money schools will buy all the players (and poach other team's players every year - given the transfer portal) and sport will be destroyed.
So surely you can understand that you can be a free-market capitalist, yet realize that a sports league would be harmed by unbridled buying of players.
Since we already gave a pro league, we don't need the same in college. And I don't have to turn in my capitalist card to say it.
