I know it is what it is with this NIL garbage, but fans are not supposed to be FUNDING NIL.
Players are supposed to be able to capitalize on their Name, Image, or Likeness (NIL) via local business advertising, apparel sales, appearances/autograph sessions, etc.
The whole notion of a “collective” for NIL for recruiting purposes (or player retention) is completely ridiculous and heinously against NCAA rules.
I wish at some point the (neutered) NCAA would just come out and say they don’t have any intention of enforcing THESE rules and end the idiotic charade of programs buying players from other schools under the guise of “NIL”
