Basically this. But you can’t just pay some kid to leave his school . If they could follow the NFL style model of monitoring the tampering then I really don’t care. Also this isn’t on the kids. I hope everyone understands that the adults in the room are responsible for this.

Best case scenario, it will work itself out in the next two years. The problem is, the NCAA refused to see this coming. The Ed O'Bannon suit that started all of this was filed in 2009. They had 11 years to head this off (not to mention the precursor of 40 plus years of astronomical amounts of money coming in due to TV revenue) and chose to kick it down the road and let the courts and individual states call the shots regarding NIL. Once that was done, the NCAA essentially neutered itself and is now starting from square one as it relates to regulation.

What will likely happen is, booster donations will start decreasing at the school level as it increases at the player level. At that point, the people with the REAL money (the conferences and their schools) will get legislation and/or an NIL sanctioning body enacted to get things (and their money) under control.

The whole situation sucks. This is pure capitalism, but in its current state, its on the verge of ruining the current business model of college football, and thereby destroying its beneficiaries (the players) from within.

Seriously? This isn't the NBA. 10% would be more like it. If that.

What we have now is completely unprecedented and unsustainable. No league had complete wild Wild West style free agency like modern college football. Saban said it best, this is not what NIL was meant for, it was so a guy could release a rap video and make money, or sign an autograph as an established player. Not this pay for play bullshite.
