Thank you. That’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever been called.

WTF does any of that have to do with his basketball ability?

Nothing. But it probably has a lot to do with Dick’s and Under Armour signing him to NIL deals.

I’m amazed at how many of y’all completely missed the point of that post.

ETA: Y’all do realize that some of these athletes, particularly the ones being featured in the documentary, have legitimate NIL deals that aren’t simply bags of cash from the collective, right?

Do we really need Braille on our QB room?

we are spending NIL on a walk on hoops player, we have no chance

did you even watch the first episode you fricking idiot? it had nothing to do with hoops it had more to do with the LSU brand and environment that LSU has set up and is so far ahead of the game.

You are a fricking moron and every post you make confirms it.

If anything, you are an embarrassment to LSU with every post you make on every other board

That “walk on hoops player,” Trace Young, has amassed over 400k followers on social media and bought a G Wagon in cash with his NIL earnings as shown in the documentary

I have watched this yet, but was any of this already happening when he was at Colorado State?

Nicholastiger....the more you open your mouth, the more of your ignorance shows

The most important story of NIL that is NOT being covered is that the student athletes that NIL was meant for are finally able to earn money.

For over 100 years the rules handicapped 99% of student athletes in their collegiate/overall lives.

The "D3 men's golfer" who should have always been able to put up a home printed flyer advertising for golf lessons or even raise money FOR charity could not do it.
The "D2 women's hockey player" whose parents own the local mom & pop sporting goods store can now appear in local TV commercials &/or billboards in town now promoting her family's business to help everyone in the family earn more money.

The "D1 walk on football player" from the lower income side of life can now go home or into any community to host/put on a player clinic & earn some money to pay some simple personal bills.

Yes, the massive superstars on the football field, basketball court, & a handful of them on the baseball diamond are making massive $100,000+ deals. And that is amazing for them. But the biggest story that NEEDS to be told/covered/go viral is how many "little guys" are finally getting what they should have been getting all along.

It pisses me off that college athletes are now able to monetize their rare skills and talents like any other American. Feels like freedom. Freedom is bad. All of this money should be diverted to me because I can spend that money better anyhow.
