Or...

Or, and stick with me on this... Maybe the money will pay off their parents' house. And maybe some medical bills. And maybe they won't have student loans. I hate seeing people make chasing money out to be a bad thing. These kids are doing what's best for them. They're the ones putting in the work. They're the ones to live with the decisions they make. Some of y'all have never had to choose between food and a house payment and it shows.

NIL isn't sustainable the way Iowa, Michigan, etc. are going right now

Schools with a sports-loving billionaire or two will have an advantage

Circle back to these athletes that are hitting the portal in 5-10 years

Stewcrew6 • 04/12/24 11:41 PM ET
You are probably right but see above and draw your own conclusion…**
emhokie • 04/12/24 09:39 PM ET
Well, based on the response, it sounds like it is not about money, which

I like and respect your optimism but…
emhokie • 04/12/24 10:37 PM ET
Agreed... he's been transparent for a couple months**

"If TJ decides to leave VT" does not sound like a done deal to me. Let's

It’s one of many cryptic messages posted that would be better left

For most athletes, the relationships and education will be more impartant
UpperQuad • 04/12/24 02:22 PM ET
Wonder if you get the money and the relationships and education. That is

I think we're better situated with NIL than we think we are
donjfs3 • 04/11/24 08:31 PM ET
I think we are situated pretty well, but I still think there are a handful
larhokie • 04/11/24 08:42 PM ET
Eventually it probably will, hopefully not too soon.
