Another heartwarming NIL saga . . . from Maryland coach Mike Locksley

Thats a tiny issue. The real issue is the ridiculous amount of money coaches are paid and schools make. At some point, with all that money, the players want some.

Tiny but it was blatant. Imagine playing a video game with your picture on the cover and not only did you not get any money for it but you didn't get any money from anyone who did get money for it....

What will that solve?

Yep. We know who we are recruiting and who the staff wants to lure here... The 'bag man' was popular at plenty of schools long before this stuff started.

Disagree. The richest teams can fill every hole in the roster from teams without as much money. The playoff teams going forward, imo, will be from the same 20 teams year after year. Georgia may lose 15 players to the NFL every year, but they'll restock with top players from other teams who can't point up the cash. Same story for OSU, USC, TX, OK, etc.

Probably fewer. Top 12ish schools have wayyyy more money than anyone. 20ish teams might have a chance at making the playoffs but it's about 10 teams in the title hunt.

Amateurism and the whole need to protect it died a long time ago when they started letting professional athletes compete in the Olympics.

We likely endured 80 plus years of maintaining the farce of amateurism of college athletes to preserve our top athletes for Olympic competition.
