It was tough for small schools before the NIL. Bigger schools were always able to get 1-2 bigger name players with under the table deals, but since they had to be discreet, there were only a couple of potential infractions per big team.Now that the NIL is in place, small schools have been devastated. The minute one of their recruits shows promise, a bigger school jumps in and offers them millions to transfer.
Eastern Michigan has found a potential solution…

Horrible idea. It has made rooting for college sports nearly pointless. Talent switch schools nearly every year. No loyalty, no chance to build programs.

College and pro athletics have always been ridiculous. While the NIL is ridiculous, it’s also ridiculous for 300lb kids getting suspended because they were late from practice and missed dinner so a cafeteria worker put together a plate of cold cut sandwiches… In the meantime, the NCAA and the university are pocketing hundreds of billions…
I’ve always been shocked by the drafts…
Imagine graduating with an a Law Degree and rather than applying for particular jobs and firms that suit your desires, instead you are put into a pool where various firms come and select you. And they select you in order from worst to best… In other words, the worst firms get first choice. And you have no say in the matter… It’s patently ridiculous on many levels.
