I like to approach things with optimism and let them play out before I make a hardened opinion.
I thought surely, by now, someone would have regulated or amended this obviously disastrous path that collegiate sports is on. I think we have enough hardcore evidence at this point to know that the current course is not healthy for the majority of universities sponsoring athletics. Hard to not let it get you down.
Collegiate athletics are on a dangerous path. If the number of schools that have a chance for real success are greatly reduced, interest will wane significantly. I think the powers that be know that but have no idea how to fix it. I think you will see the requirement to sit out a year before transferring reinstated soon. That is the only short term fix available.
……..How about this situation? Among the various things in my life, I was the first academic advisor for athletics at UL….tough gig with one secretary…..just wondering if a teacher is offered $20k by an athlete for a passing grade when the grade determined the kid’s eligibility……extra bucks for the prof, athlete can now play, the team increases it’s chances of winning, Hell, maybe the academic dude gets a cut (kidding)…well???
Im not seeing what product this student athlete would be endorsing? Does NIL no longer even require an actual NIL?
