Good way to piss off thousands of fans of your sport. Like hell I'll pay taxes on the money I make to raise a family and watch a 19 year old playing football who gets 800,000 a year avoid tax, get a free education and every other perk you can think of.

It's football, these athletes are not gods.

Illinois is looking to good in a different direction

quote:

A bill has been introduced in Illinois that would amend the Student-Athlete Endorsement Rights Act, providing if an athlete earns $250K+ from the use of their #NIL, then any academic scholarship granted to them shall be reduced by $1 per dollar the athlete earns over $250K.

So making a billion dollars on Tik tok is cool, but making the university money isn’t. Got it

Day is a really good coach and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous that a lot of OSU fans wanted him gone. Dude has a nearly 90% win percentage against teams not named Michigan and people wanted him gone.

But he's not Kirby.


You're right, Day beat notre dame.

Let's just give them all they want and need for free so they never have to lift a finger outside of playing their sport. In fact, let's have everything hand delivered to the very chair or couch they sit on during their "non sport" time.

I'm really starting to hate athletics.

Better yet, exempt everyone from the stupid state income tax by getting rid of it.

NIL has killed college and high school sports in less than 5 years. Amazing.
