Players can't just leave their NFL teams until their contracts are up, and there is a set salary cap. There is also a non subjective playoff system that fans can know exactly what their team needs to do in order to qualify. They really aren't the same at all.
We’re all just cheering for laundry. We cheer for our guys in the red laundry because they attend and play for the school that we once did.
You kind of missed my point.
These students are not regulated by the NCAA (well, maybe cheerleaders, I don’t know), so their status as amateurs never would have been threatened by making money off their likenesses in the first place.
Non-athletes have always been able to make money as a student, whether that be through an endorsement, selling items, or other areas. NIL was supposed to allow students to earn money based on their name, image, and likeness (thus NIL) on goods and services. Where NIL went sideways is that it got outside the original intent, and just jumped straight into a slush fund from boosters and cash payments to players. Once that happened, it became nearly impossible to change that. I don’t blame kids for getting $ when they can.
I agree but the stupid NCAA said they weren’t going to govern NIL, therefore there are no limitations. The whole thing was decided too quickly without thinking of potential ramifications, and that’s why we have today’s environment.
Me and you have been agreeing too much lately. Something needs to happen where we start botching at each other again. :cheers
In another thread SouthLincolnHusk said John Denver was overrated. Dont know if that means anything to you though.
I think you’re being a bit dramatic and just projecting frustration that we’ve sucked for a decade now.
