Good post. I don’t really understand why we care what the athletes are making. How does it affect you how much the QB is making in NIL. People who think that players played for the love of the letters on the front of the jersey were always kidding themselves. We’ve known this for decades.
The numbers do seem to be getting larger, but I don’t understand why that bothers people. I don’t think the economics matter at all. I think the issue is the transfer portal. The constant churn of the players is tiresome. I’m not sure how you fix it under the current system. Fortunately, I think in a short time we will have a Premker Leagie that is no longer under the auspices of the NCAA and the 30 or so teams will draft their own rules that governs all these issues. It can’t come soon enough for me. I just hope ICLA gets a golden ticket to join. I don’t think it’s looking good for us right now.
