NIL has turned college players into professionals and raised expectations
VT72 • 05/18/24 10:21 AM ET

I struggle to find any good aspect of gambling.

I think it feeds into people's desire to prove themselves right.
Maroon Baboon • 05/21/24 04:28 AM ET
I do it a little, like $1/bet. It’s easy to see how people can get addic.**
