Its a bit different as guys can legitimize it as a business expense. I just dont see it continuing at this pace for much longer. There will be little return. I think it is guys that are just playing with a new toy right now.

No. There wasn't a transfer portal.

Not close to the money going out now

The transfer portal is just as bad
Kids can transfer and play right away
Put their services out to bid

NIL is not a NCAA control thing but they can change the portal rule making players sit out a full season

Yes, this has been going on but not to this extent. With no guidelines the damn dam has collapsed. The frigging Aggies have exploited today's open range to their advantage while the rest of us are catching up. Hopefully there will be guidelines with teeth in the near future and be retroactive. It's here and is here to stay...just hope some sanity can be instituted.

You'll be enlightened soon....this whole thing is a major muck up that will spiral completely out of control....all because cash will be king and portal transfers will be paid
and movement will be free and easy. The entire system of college athletics in the major sports will lose structure.
All because people bot the bullsht that athletes were not being paid...totally false at all levels.

Those people were mad that athletes weren’t being paid ENOUGH. There is a difference

They wanted to tie the millions from television networks to the athletes as if the athletes were the reason people watched college sports

Yes, a lot of those are Marxists

But is it possible what we are seeing now has been going on for years now, but behind the scenes? I’m positive some of the big donors today were the ones filling the bags in the years past.

There are a few reasons. But first, I’ll say that I am ALL in favor of players getting paid. And I am sure they have been getting paid for a really long time. But, the way this is set up, every team is essentially made up of free agents. That can and are leaving after one year at a school. How are coaches supposed to manage their rosters? So at the end of the day, the programs with the most egotistical boosters that will give a group of kids the most money & the nicest cars will be the programs that have all of the top tier talent. This means that there will only be a small handful of programs that will compete for championships. It’s not about X’s & O’s, but Jimmys & Joes. And LSU ain’t in that group.


in summary there is no reason the players shouldn’t have this right ,the reality is that it’s only about the possibility that this change could have a negative effect on the success of LSUs football program compared to rival programs.

If next year lsu gets all the top players and then wins another natty people won’t give a frick about NIL or the transfer portal, it’s all whiny bull shite.
