The education aspect is being glossed over.  We know it's only a very small percentage who are going pro and even a much smaller amount who will make multi generational type money.

D1 athletes work hard and have such a huge demand on their time, but the ones that are great at time management are going to be great in their chosen field post athletics.

That said, how many of these kids playing at three or four universities are going to end up with a degree.  It's a full time job just keeping track of eligible credits.

Not sure anyone knows where NIL will be in ten years.  But, if you look at the original plans of it: NAME, IMAGE and LIKENESS, where a kid would be paid for jersey sales, or appearing in a print ad or commercial,  right now the current iteration of NIL, is the furthest thing from that.

Yes, they might benefit short term, and selected athletes like Amando Bacot or Hunter Dickinson will be paid much more than they will at any other point in their life, but I can't see how long term it will benefit the athletes who are just going for the money grab.
