NILs and the transfer portal are going to ruin college sports.
Just sayin....

The judge's ruling falls in line with other rulings about ending athletic exploitation. And that is exactly what it is--crass exploitation of a physically gifted person to enrich another person. The NIL process moves money into the pockets of athletes at the expense of ticket sellers and buyers, school presidents and superintendents, and local businesses. There are no losers, except maybe the fans with a cockeyed idea about limited capitalism.
Some people want to hang onto the idea that sports hosted by an educational institution (e.g., a university, college, trade school, high school, elementary school, nursery school) are amateur sports. How quaint! Amateurism is dead the second an advertiser with a contract shows up at a school, a game, or an athlete's house.

I'm 1000% against the Neil program as it currently exists. In my humble opinion the only way I would want this system to work would be all players got exactly the same amount of money. The current system of superstars getting millions while lesser players get almost nothing in my opinion again does nothing to solve the problem that existed with college athletes. It should be remembered that they are getting a free college education and that is an enormous gift right there. Many many more student athletes would be helped if the goal was to get a college degree and I understand that it's not. For those very few it's to go to the professional level and I get that. The other reason I don't like the nail system that is currently structured is universities with alumni boosters who have deep pockets can essentially buy a team. That I do not like.
Having said that, rest assured that should I happen to win Powerball I will donate $100 million to the University of Missouri's football program on the condition that I'll be allowed to participate in a selection of players that we want to pay and bring into play for mizzou.
I'd also probably set aside 20 million for the Mizzou men's basketball program. For 20 million you should be able to buy at least six or seven of the top high school players in America right?
My last opinion is that the new program is going to eventually cause many universities to drop football and maybe other sports as well. And only to the demise of college sports.
