Message: [QUOTE="OCESIP, post: 4547978, member: 8702"] The issue with NIL isn't with Weitsman or any of the the other collectives. Like many changes that had good intentions (ie: let all players participate in the big $$ that is college football and basketball), it has evolved into a significant tool for recruiting with inducements that have little to do with the original concept. Even if you believe the NCAA is powerless, until college administrations officially remove them from the equation they cast a shadow over the process. The reality for SU is the money available to sustain a competitive advantage in this new world will be hard to come by. We will never be in the upper echelon relative to the programs which have a larger and much more enthusiastic pool of big $$ contributors. The football money alone in some of these schools will have enough excess to help fund basketball as well. [/QUOTE]
