The school is not paying the players.
I think this is the part most people do not understand with the new NIL rule.

The schools are already doing this. They have set up whole departments to help these players make as much off of themselves as possible.

Free tuition and exposure for these athletes to take the next steps to become pros is obviously outdated , so why would the outdated system of free tuition not change?
Take away paid scholarships to the top players at LSU because "hey, you have a lucrative side business, you don't need a meal plan so we're not going to give you one" and watch our best programs go to total shite overnight.
I'll never understand the mental jumping jacks people have done to convince themselves they (irrelevant 3rd parties) get to decide what someone else value.

NIL deals exist because players and their families feel cheated. They feel used. They feel like schools are making millions off their kids and the kids and families feel entitled to get paid .
this is an overly simplistic view, certainly some feel cheated (and rightly so, see Michigan Fab five)

you realize over 90% of college athletes will never make the pros? NIL will be available to kids in all sports, including those that do not even have pro leagues

There should be more guidelines put in place. You have some kids who will become millionaires over these thanks to greedy boosters. Which means they will need to pay taxes and that’ll become a whole other issue for kids who have no idea how to go about it. So will the schools have to hire someone to help guide them? Will the parents? Will everyone at Bama get a free charger now and it be ok vs frowned upon?
You are seeing the road that I’m traveling with this. It’s business now. And it’s going to be big business for some of these athletes.

You are acting like all athletes are about to get big paydays. Frankly, you're clueless, as is the guy that you quoted.

I’ve already answered that. They aren’t making the school millions of dollars so that’s not a valid comparison
what the hell does the amount of money the school is making off sports have to do with it? Only 2 sports make money really

A student on an academic scholarship isn’t making the school millions, so that’s a pretty dumb comparison.
It's a "dumb comparison" to you because it eviscerates your original post.
So if an academic scholarship student isn't making the school millions, why give them money? At least athletes are doing something beneficial for the school yet have no opportunity or time to make money from it during their time there.
You're digging yourself into a deeper, dumber hole

Eh, the rule is really only going to have a meaningful benefit to a very few.
Posted on 7/1/21 at 8:46 am to supersaints9
so your point is that the school should reduce the financial reward to players that are making the school more money?
in what business world does this make sense?

This has got to be the worst comment in the thread to date and needs to be highlighted.
"We shouldn't pay people because then they'd have to pay taxes"

Because it destroys your point does not make it invalid
How does a person that is on academic scholarship and makes the school ZERO money the same as someone on athletic scholarship that makes the school millions the same? It’s an invalid comparison.

LSU will and probably already has multiple people that their sole job is to help athletes with NIL financials

How about the 85th scholly football players that likely isn't going to see a dime from NIL money? He should pay his tuition now, right? fricking dummy

so why would the school pay for the student make the school zero money and NOT the student that makes the school lots of money?

Jesus Christ. There really is no hope of getting through that thick skull.

I am pro-NIL.
It may not be $1 for $1, but NIL will cut into LSU’s advertising and sponsorship revenue.
Of course, scholarships wouldn’t be anywhere near the chopping block.

This is one of the dumbest threads I've read on tRant.

both are students on scholarship, that one plays a sport that makes money is completely irrelevant to the point you are making. Unless you are under the mistaken impression that NIL is being paid by the schools.

The OP continues to further prove the point players should have NIL rights while trying to say they shouldn't
