It's like reading about social media influencers going to restaurants and saying they should get free drinks for the "exposure." You can't feed your family with a free poli sci class. Coaches work in bonuses based on the success of their teams. So a coach gets an extra $1M+ based on the sweat and blood and ice baths and torn ligaments and concussions...how is that not exploitative? Greg Schiano was making $2,000,000 + bonuses in 2010 when Eric LeGrand became paralyzed. I'd rather have the $2M than some nutrigrain bars and a few free classes. Every argument against NIL or the players getting paid is based primarily on jealousy. People sound like Vivek crying about American culture that rewards the hard work and dedication that goes into high level athletic success. [/QUOTE]
