I believe that NIL is going to ruin college sports as we knew them. Not a dime
of mine will ever go to an amateur athlete who in many cases hasn’t proved anything yet just to get them to sign a LOI with my favorite college. Someone needs to put some kind of regulatory measures in place to stop the NIL madness and the NCAA should come up with some reasonable rules to regulate the transfer portal “merry go round”. Otherwise, throwing money at NIL is like pissing into the wind each year. Gone are the days where you could get behind a freshman player and watch them develop through their senior year (4/5 year plan at one college). Individual school records will remain in place as they are now because they were built over the course of a 4/5 year career. Now we will be seeing one year successes turning into players entering the portal and bartering their one year success into deals (like the cartels) that enrich themselves at whatever school bids the highest dollar amount for their services. Hard to want to jump on this train wreck with no guarantees of return on your investment! Sorry, but I’ll find another activity to spend my money on where I can control the destiny and the outcome more closely. I’ll always be a BYU fan but college sports has been taken over by money and that usually doesn’t end well!
