How soon do you think we will see changes in this NIL clown show?

Watch Ja’Kiem Stewart injure Bryce underwood in a USC-Michigan game. And two of michigans qb just left.

People blaming NIL when the wide open portal is the issue

The money was never the problem, always been there. We are just seeing a market correction right now. Coaches will make less..or "voluntarily" give a large amount to these NIL collectives...then schools will stop with these over the top facility/weight room/locker room upgrades, players would rather have that money in their pockets...now the transfer portal rules need to be revamped

NIL works perfectly. Should have always been this way. I personally love capitalism.

It’s wild to think about the end game of all this. It’s hard to imagine it stopping short of full blown players Union, revenue sharing, and contracts. And after that’s in place and it’s essentially the NFL, what’s next, a draft and schools having ability to trade players? Why not? Pretty sad.

ETA: and do schools just eventually say we’re gonna do away with the 4 year grade classifications and sign kids to 5, or 10 year deals? Again, if it’s a pro league, why not?

Disagree. While I hate the portal, the NIL money is worse. An open portal without cash inducements encouraging players to jump in would be manageable.

How you could get even one down vote is a mystery in itself. It’s like some people love to keep their heads in a hole!!!

NIL at this point is absolutely destroying college football. Unless hopefully someone does something about it soon.

I agree concerning NIL. If they eliminated NIL went to revenue sharing for all players with a formula to comp those who play more Allow transfers only once in 4 years and require passing grades to remain with program and we just might retain collegiate sport and not create NFL division 2 with no rules of financial obligation .

Marshall had to back out of their bowl game due to the TRANSFER PORTAL?? After choosing to let their coach leave DESPITE winning a conference title and 10 games, over 30 players have entered the portal leaving their roster in shambles.” No, absolutely nothing wrong with NIL or transfer portal, nothing at all.

An unfortunate consequence, but not unexpected with a coaching change. Outside of the 12 team playoff, the bowls are a meaningless joke and should be done away with in the future.

If MarShall had made the playoffs, the coach is there this week and none of this happens.

Agee. What's the basis for this even coming about. Was it an overreaction to Covid? NCAA makes the rules and I know of no court ruling requiring or allowing the portal. if it didn't exist, then the whole NIL leverage goes away.
