College Football as We Knew It, is Over

The NIL really only matters to SU as it pertains to basketball. Maybe lax.
 
I think the flurry of opportunities popping up is showing pretty well that there's a delta between what the players had been given and what the players are currently worth.

We haven’t been good since the 90s, so we’re clinging to nothing. Certainly can’t hurt us, so I’m fine with it. And it’s kinda...the right thing to do.
These are 2 valid points that I am willing to concede
 
This may actually motivate Congress to get involved to level the playing field. NIL is not going away but it has to be equally applied at all schools. There is a reason there is a salary cap in professional sports. Something will have to be done eventually.
It is equally applied. Any business can pay for NIL of any player at any school.
 
As stated above, if that happens, then athletes become employees. Then it will get real interesting.
This is what colleges fear. Compensation/disability coverage, unemployment insurance. Unions. A long list.
 
I don't care. Guys aren't going to want to leave now.

Basketball we should be somewhere top 5/10.

Football we'll be above BC/Wake Forest/Duke who knows what happens if the program has a season like 2018 and we get the right QB for multiple years.

The players still get an education (which is going to be worth more than NIL for most and also likely be the only thing these guys can't spend before graduating) they don't need direct payments from the school.

Now they can earn you might see guys transfering/redshirting/faking injury to try and get PHDs over 6/7 years.

I think this is unlikely. NIL money will be nice and all, but I don't see how it'll be in the same stratosphere as pro contract. The top tier players are still going to jump for the draft if they have a plausible path.

Agree. I don't see this keeping the guaranteed first rounders from going pro.
 
I'm ok with it because the players will be exploited less.. There will, no doubt, be some unscrupulous characters who pay players and want something in return beyond a commercial spot or a public appearance.
Perhaps. I think it will dramatically increase the level of oversight a university has to exercise to vet who the players are dealing with. This will likely expand the universe of shady characters hovering around athletic complexes. Can anybody with $500 approach a player for a favor? I would think there are going to be a lot of moving parts and a lot of issues in the early days of this new age.

The G league pays about the same as McDonalds or did until recently. You also have to relocate.

They will be able to stay where they are with all their friends and hang onto a lot of 'part time' no show type jobs that add up.

If you are going lottery that is one thing but guys won't be leaving with no shot of getting drafted anymore.
