Players getting NIL payments to play neutral site games seems like a

bad road to go down. But on the positive side, we could one day tear down Lane stadium and build a new basketball arena at that location, since we won't have any more home games, they'll all be neutral site. Of course that assumes we still have home basketball games. Maybe we just quit having any college athletic games actually at colleges.
