Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 4291729, member: 527"] I honestly think the NIL system we see today will stay in place and nothing is going to change. Yes, rules are being broken left and right but I don't think anyone wants this fight. It's like politics. Half of the people see it one way, while the other half see it the opposite way. Half see it as [I]"hey they are just college kids making money, nothing wrong with that. This is America." [/I]Then you have the other half who raise red flags, and are 100% right in regards to this is killing all of college sports and the competitive balance, but they are painted as monsters because they are trying to take good money away from poor college kids who just have an opportunity to cash in. I think the public outcry about this is from a small vocal minority and I'm not sure there is enough "will" with the powers that be to try to enforce rules and change the current system at the end of the day. They may talk a good game and say they do, but I don't believe they will follow through. This is the new normal. College Athletic Departments and Programs will adjust, or they won't. If they don't they will be left behind in a pile of dust while the big schools just get bigger and spend more and more. Pretty much every school is out there trying to find a billionaire alum who loves sports so they can bankroll this thing. Some schools have that, others don't. It is what it is and I really don't believe anyone cares to fight this fight really from everything I read and hear. The old saying Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way. That 100% applies to the NIL/Recruiting/Transfer Portal and how it is being used in college sports. Don't waste time crying about it. Either lead, follow, or get out of the way. [/QUOTE]
