NIL contracts could include restrictions on movement. That will slow the

roll a bit. Also NIL recipients who fail to produce will cause NIL collectives to be more cautious. We have not seen, or are not yet aware of, cases of a big check being followed by a big flop. The same is true of coaching salaries. Boosters at A&M may be willing to pay $75 million to divorce Jimbo, but how many times before they just back-off and ley the AD do his job. Interference of wealthy "wannabe's" is a problem in many cases.

Question, why weren’t people outraged more over head coaches making 10Mil

Ok, a stream of conciseness not fully thought thru answer, but

Your entire premise is wrong, no one is outraged that players are paid

You come out swinging for no reason, I didn’t even say I thought that way.
Stech 04/16/24 02:57 PM ET
I think I agree with both of you
fsghokie 04/16/24 03:29 PM ET
I do have a slight problem with you calling the NCAA "gutless." Given that

Your jail analogy is flawed though because the schools have the power to

VTCALS72 04/16/24 10:30 PM ET
Ok … I disagree **
fsghokie 04/16/24 10:53 PM ET
There's plenty of outrage to go around

Another point to consider, this is a VT message board
HokieNoVA 04/16/24 12:41 PM ET
that was probably always true though

I’ve always thought it was ridiculous. Outraged? I don’t care enough **

Since I am only me and can only speak for me, there is no way any one
VTCALS72 04/16/24 12:18 PM ET
Not me. I am far more bothered by permissive transfer guidelines than NIL $
Maroon Baboon 04/16/24 12:15 PM ET
Until fairly recently, it was just one "free" transfer
Pylons 04/16/24 05:13 PM ET
If they haven't already said so, the courts will eventually say that

I don't think the fight is over,
Pylons 04/16/24 05:28 PM ET
With that rationale, athletes should be able to change teams at halftime.
Maroon Baboon 04/16/24 05:33 PM ET
Credit hours should be tied to transfer
Big12 guy 04/16/24 04:13 PM ET
That would be a good idea IF the athletes were in fact students

Be careful my Big 12 friend

It's a good hill to die on.
Big12 guy 04/16/24 07:49 PM ET
Not true in a lot of cases.

I think that mischaracterizes some things
