This whole NIL in its current state is insane. If we are to have a professional team, make these kids sign a contract with terms and conditions, they get a game check after every game. They leave early, they don’t get paid or have to comply with some type of buyout clause. Include ethics clauses that reduce payout or fines if they do something stupid. Like any other business cash in must equal cash out or cuts need to be made. Include pay for performance or incentives for certain milestones. There needs to be at least some kind of salary cap imposed to at least partially level the playing field. Otherwise, these kids will have no idea what it will be like post college NIL or pros. The rest of the world does not work this way, they will not have the necessary values or life skills to exceed in life beyond football. NIL and particularly collectives are nothing more than expensive entitlements. I just cannot wrap my head around this insanity, no matter how much I would like us return to better times.
