So, is NIL obsolete now in College Athletics?

I don't care either way as long as the Georgia Bulldogs win.

Yea, it's easy to be a fan......

No, they didn't. But I guess by that "logic" the company I worked for made over a billion dollars and I should be somehow mad about it? Are those kids forced to accept all those freebies to play a game and a shot at being multi millionaire? The struggle is real I guess.
Here's the list. https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances. None of these schools would survive as a "business" in the real world with that return on sales. Well maybe OSU and UGA. (But neither would have survived the non glory years.)

I do not accept that...you seen the stadiums today???...training facilities...all the coaches...on the back of the players....not to even mention the monies that travel into the "honorarium"...no....they have been sucking off the athletes for years...oh...they give um an "education"...in business management....give me a break

"On the backs of...." Lol. Give ME a break. Hell how many of those kids would be living in permanent poverty if not for the free training and marketing given to them?

We are headed towards contracts. 2 year minimums. It will be NFL Jr.

The reason southern folks have typically gravitated to college football way more so than pro is because of the excitement of watching young men play for the love of it, and the pride of their schools and states. Those parts are now successfully ruined. I’ve lost interest in less than 5 years, and my lifelong favorite team has won 2 national titles in the past 3 years. What a weird, personal change of events.

Yea, I had a friend that also played for him. Went to Alabama for school, met his future wife and never came back

Only 1% get a full ride (85/team get scholarships), but 1.6% get drafted. So the rest, willingly play, knowing they'll never go pro. Why is that you think?

NIL is only obsolete if you want your team to suck.
