Years before NIL became legal all throughout the late 2010 I had been saying repeatedly that as soon as it becomes legal, it will immediately turn into pay for play.
This was during the time when all the same sports media members were talking about how terrible NIL is now, were all pushing for it then.

I’m certainly in favor of players getting their fair share, but it was obvious to see ahead exactly what happened was going to happen
To answer your question no I hate the current system, but I also deal with reality and not fantasy and this particular bill is complete fantasy
If that’s what you took away from my comment, then you misinterpreted my intent.
I’m not calling the players greedy and I’m not saying they shouldn’t get their share.
All I’m saying is that NIL isn’t NIL, it’s pay for play and has been from the start. And was easy to predict.
There there’s no going back. There are only two end states for college football. The first is to become something like the NFL where you have employees and collective bargaining and a salary, recap, or the second is essentially what we have right now.
I completely agree Doug. That bill won't get a sniff. Every state with a major program would fight it for many reasons. I also completely agree with where this is heading. Either collective bargaining or where we are now. The House settlement is trying to fix that, but the NIL part of that will get shot down in a lawsuit so fast your head will spin. I am not sure why they think a third party can tell a player how much a company can pay them without that player agreeing to some form of collective bargaining. There are also a lot of state laws being added to the books as we speak to work around it. So back to where we are except the schools also get to pay the players.

The whole system is pay for play Doug. The players are the last to get their share and suddenly they are the greedy ones.
