Trust me on this: the players who are 4 and 5 star are mostly concerned with the money. Who wouldn't be? A lot of these kids are from poorer backgrounds in the inner city. They used to have to wait until the NFL to get paid. Some would get hurt in college and never get drafted. Now they can get a very good payday through the NIL and help secure their own and their family's future. What if a top college pitcher could lock down an NIL of $3M per year. Why would that player rush off to the minor leagues to ride a bus when they can be a hero in the relative comfort of college? This might change the paradigm of OSU being unable to keep its best baseball players and provide more consistency. Not sure why you think OSU can't compete for NIL contracts. Do you think all OSU alums are schlubs? Don't you think any OSU alums create large companies and are worth $ millions?
