I can’t speak on college football, but being a former division I athlete who won a individual conference championship, a team conference championship and made ncaa championship, I know I brought my school some serious cash that I never saw a dime of. Yes my tuition was free but I worked my entire life for that and the pay day to the program that I single handedly brought to the school, was far more than my scholarship.

For those that are criticizing this NIL, you have no idea what it means to be a college athlete and all the rules and nonsense you go through with your school and the NCAA. These kids deserve every single dollar they earn. How is it okay for a coach to make millions and millions of dollars off his players and the NCAA to make even more, but now all of a sudden they are a pro because they take money? No way, they are earning what is rightfully theirs and it will keep them in school longer representing our teams.

college football is in great shape because these types of deals are going to show community support and reward the kids for their efforts. Yes it may hurt SU because it isn’t Alabama, but creating profitable programs will help keep SU relevant in this “race”
