The reason the average fan feels this way is because they’re contributing to paying the players in other ways. They attend games. They buy merch. They buy tickets. Subscriptions to media channels and streaming platforms. To say, that’s great but you have to do more (without getting something in return) is a non starter for most fans. And I don’t blame them. No other sport requires this. I say this and I give a lot to NIL. But I’m the exception and I fully understand it.

That’s why a lot of collectives give you benefits. At least you feel like you’re getting something. I don’t think they’re material but it’s at least psychologically something. I know grassroots efforts are hard but I think we should try to make it as fan friendly as possible.

The entire system is broken because the revenue made by the two biggest sports is still subsidizing everything else. It can’t keep going this way. Fans won’t tolerate it forever. You can’t keep counting on some boosters because they want to win in return. And only one team truly wins every year.

Basketball and football need to be their own thing since they’re the only ones that are profitable.
