Urban Meyer believes NIL in college football has evolved into cheating

"If you're a woman basketball player like the great girl from Iowa and they want to put her on a billboard and pay her, they should be able to do that," Meyer said. "But that's not what happened. What's happened is the arms race of collecting money from donors and the donors are simply paying players. That's what I understand is happening, and I don't like that."
Meyer last coached in college football during the 2018 season. Though that was only six years ago, it was another era entirely. Since Meyer's seven-year run at Ohio State concluded, the arrival of NIL, unlimited transferring and conference realignment have rocked the sport.
"If Lou Holtz or Urban Meyer or Marvin Harrison Jr., or C.J. Stroud, they want to go use their name and help sell cars, help a business, that's great," Meyer said. "But to have a 17-year-old demand money for a visit, to pay these players a lot of money to go visit a charity for 20 minutes and they write you a check for $50,000, that's cheating. That's not what this is all about. I'm very disappointed in where it went."
While a large-scale revenue-sharing model is in the developing stages in college athletics, player compensation for now is stuck in the collective model under the guise of "NIL," which doesn't sit well with Meyer.
"There's these things called collectives where they go out and get money from donors and get this big, giant mass of money and they pay players," he said. "That's not what the intent is."

always find it hilarious when the more notorious cheaters get mad about people doing what they did their entire career
he's not wrong but the wrong person to be saying it

at this point, the NCAA can't do anything about it
resolving this outstanding lawsuit is the first stage of going to a revenue sharing model
at that point maybe something can be done to curb what's going on behind the scenes and then you can set some guidelines and parameters to make this work
I also believe it's only a matter of time before SEC and Big Ten break away from the NCAA
At that point then some rules can be established to prevent what's going on in the portal and if athletes don't want to play under those rules then see you later

It’s almost like anyone with sense knew what it would turn into and that’s the entire reason the NCAA never wanted to go down that slippery slope.

I like how the only tangible difference in these two scenarios is the player gets paid more in the second scenario. Purely rooted out of jealousy and or greed.
Urban being the messenger on this is just another layer of comedy.
There are certainly issues with the current model, but most of not all of them are related to the transfer portal, not NIL. It’s funny that people make NIL the downfall of society, when all the the things they don’t like about NIL are actually a cause of the portal rules and not the ability for players to get paid

Apparently doing things the right way involves recruiting drug dealing gang bangers then putting a conservative Christian QB as the face of the team.

More like it evolved from cheating
