NIL is a legitimate business expense, right? This is going to be the death of college athletics.

You would be the exception.
Many of us could name past multiple UL players with parents that were pushing them thru college like their life depended on it. Throw a player cash and cut out family, that’s going to be interesting.
I was blessed to have a child that’s middle to upper management with a large international firm thank me for only giving “x” towards a b/s degree. The simple observation ones coddled all their lives, especially with no cost college, were the worst employees to manage.
The NFL might play a role fixing this, the quality of employee will be changing.
What I’m curious about: obviously NIL creates better opportunities for the players at the top. What impact does it end up having for the mid tier players and lower level? Currently there’s 60+ G5 teams and 120+ FCS programs. Does the NIL result in fewer opportunities overall? The G5s and FCS schools already struggle with fan support. Do some departments fold when fanbases throw in the towel on programs that have no chance of competing?
why was it ok for accounting professors to get additional pay from the cpa review courses, and make the students pay extra to attend those courses rather than covering the material and answering their questions during the class time they already paid for? (and if/when the student passes the test the univ can take credit and claim we had x pct pass, and dont pay that student anything)
You're going to have a really hard time convincing me that it is never in a person's best interest to receive more money than they had before. In fact, I'd bet all the money I have that overall, people who receive financial windfalls end up much better off in the long run than people who don't.
You're also going to have a hard time convincing me that this money will send kids into a spiral of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. They are already able to stay on the straight and narrow just to have a chance at playing football for free. Giving them an NIL payment will give them an even bigger incentive to stay clean, show up on time, and perform at a high level.
Yes, there will always be people who are irresponsible with money. But those people will end up broke with or without an NIL deal. They'll just have a lot more fun in-between with the NIL deal. And of course many others will be smarter and realize this is likely a one-time windfall and they'll invest the money wisely. There will be hundreds of different outcomes because there will be hundreds of individuals making their own financial decisions.
will they have to pay their pell grants and student loans back, or can they get all three every year?
The first thing to understand is nobody gives two farts about the foolish young men. Most posters are only making an observation on what’s happened to thousands of high draft picks in the NFL. The typical found money person is blown money.
As to would make sure your child gets to investment consular. Yeah that may be your level of influence. It’s not most.
These young men buy mama a house and get tapped by their buddies left and right.
