I sympathetic to NIL in principle and believe players should share in the

financial bounty their efforts produce (in addition to what they already receive from their scholarships), but I also feared and suspected that it would legalize and launder the buying of players that has been done for generations. Now it is metastasizing and morphing into a horror that all but only a few schools can utilize to their benefit. I am to the point that I hope NCAAF splits and we are in the lower league where we can have a good chance of success and not have to play teams where we know will destroy us because they are better financed.
