Millionaire College Athletes

Yep

 

I was against it. I’m lowly annoyed with the people who were for it.

 

My first wife never bothered getting her HS diploma, because she was accepted at UNC as a Junior in High School. Sounds like Ohio State did something similar with their future QB, and because of NIL money he's going there early.

And now he's getting paid.

He’s just the newest in a long line of tools that will clutter the box and tarnish the game.
It’s his parents and his sleazy agent that I hate. I hate those who are allowing this shit (and could disallow it) even more.

 

Well, that escalated quickly! NCAA is officially a professional sports league now.

I mean... its just now we can see the numbers instead of bags of cash/new cars etc.

 

It has to be disheartening to have transparency and then realize your entire previous worldview was horseshit.

 

They should have a 250K cap for freshmen, increasing every year to a million dollar cap for seniors. Give some incentive to stay in school, and decrease the chase for a payday right out of high school.

 

First of all that sounds like some BS, if a kid is good at something other than sports do we cap their earnings? Second: Who should have the cap and who enforces it? Look into the European super league proposals in soccer if you want to see what happens next. Alabama, Notre Dame, FSU, USC, Ohio State, Texas, Georgia, Florida probably have some idea of how to do this already drawn up.
