They actually think Tshweibwe and Nigel Pack are getting money because of publicity.

If those players had decided not to attend those schools, those contracts would never have happened. It's not about publicity.

If you want to argue about whether these players should get paid by boosters or companies with connections to the school TO ATTEND THAT SCHOOL then enter the arena. Otherwise stop pretending it actually has to do with NIL.

Right, we can all discuss how awful the ncaa is and all the mistakes it's made until we're blue in the face.

But the fact is, that created a well oiled infrastructure of boosters, donations, bribes, etc. that doesn't exist ANYWHERE else. The Lakers can't go to Jack Nicholson asking for a donation to build a new hall of fame, nor can they ask Leonardo dicaprio to put LeBron in a movie for a $15 million cameo as a way to get around salary cap restrictions....but that's essentially what we have and is currently happening in college sports.

Got it.

What? That’s not what I said at all.

I’ve said ten times in the last three pages that it’s going to take some time for all of this to find its level (which of course it will).

Change is turbulent.

Those who avoid filling diapers reacting to the turbulence will have clean shorts when the plane lands, which of course it will.

and/or back before these attempts to "Make financials public/transparent?"

is it that you just didn't want to hear about it? if an amateur sport requires all the "professional" elements to be prohibited (read: kept under the table), is it really an amateur sport?

When I said this would happen I was told that I was either wrong or told 'who cares'

When I suggested there should be rules or limitations I was called an idiot or a racist.

Ask yourself the same thing. Does hearing about it make it better?

Does 'transparency' make bribes more fun?

Also, this whole, student athletes couldn't go make millions of dollars on their own and still play seems very similar to a lot of Republican arguments about transgenders. These are things that are very rare, but we want to legislate for everyone based on these rare exceptions.

If a player could get a role in a movie, based on his acting talents, of course he should be allowed to remain eligible. You could address these things individually as they happen. They're incredibly rare.
