Been chewing on the notion that these players, for all intents and purposes, are professionals now. They have opened up a new income source in the form of NILs. With the pay to play, professional side of college athletics it has me re-thinking the criticism (or the hold back of such) for college athletes. I've always taken the notion that these kids are kids and not pros. My criticism tries to be mindful of that. I'm sure i've failed in my time posting here but it is in the back of my mind especially when we sometimes see their parents posting on here. It feels raw sometimes.

Anyway, if they are getting paid why would we bite our tongue on legit criticism of their play now? What difference is Devito if he gets an NIL deal than Carmelo year 2 in the NBA? They are being judged by corporate america now just like a 2003 Lebron or any other teen who decides to embark on a professional career.

College is a bit more complicated b/c not everyone is getting that bite at the apple...
