Message: [QUOTE="djcon57, post: 5078235, member: 62"] Do you watch a movie with some 18 year old and think the same way or a Triple A baseball game or, hell, do you watch a kid bagging your groceries and think "boy, I hope he's not spending his minimum wage on weed and has a good mentor to help him move forward in life"? Or is it just that these guys provide entertainment for us on Saturdays in the fall and ultimately we don't want that to change? I think what you and others are saying is noble, so I'm not trying to downplay the thoughts (though I hope those thoughts would be for all kids in general), I just don't see why we should care about what a football player does with the money he's earned playing a game any more than anyone else. The comments about their financial literacy and whatnot...who cares? It's not our money. The free agency aspect and the negatives of NIL are a different discussion, imo. That's on the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
