So a punter for Jim Harbaugh is upset about NIL and Michigan State. You would think someone at Michigan would celebrate the "name" and "brand" of Michigan.

I think it's possible to hate what NIL has become in college athletics and still like capitalism.

NIL has taken away amateur sports. I miss the purity of college athletics versus pro. Sorry to say, but this NIL stuff sucks. Making money of their image and likeness is fine, but it should never have turned into a pay for play.

I guess the response will continue to be, "you must capitalism." Feel free to check out this thread. LINK

I get the point made in that thread, but definitely disagree with it.

People hate it despite supporting the concept in most other aspects of life, so they’re jumping through hoops to differentiate it so as not to appear hypocritical.

Yeah. Not a lot. That's why he's so jealous.

I doubt he's mad that punters aren't going to get big $$$ and is instead disgusted at how certain players are blatantly being "ME FIRST" over the team.

There are going to be a lot of teams that completely collapse this year b/c players who have gotten a big head from their NIL deals. It's going to be interesting to see which coaches are able to keep their squads together when things get rough.

I'm hoping it's Aggie and Alabama.

This is nothing new, it's been a tiered system for a long time. When I was in school Michael Irvin and Bennie Blades were on the top of the pyramid with matching sports cars and massive bling paid for by friends of the program.

They really think Rashan Gary turned down $300k to go to Michigan for free.
