NIL makes me like players less.

Right or wrong, athletes are jobs. They go where they’re paid.

Do you feel the same about pro players? What’s the difference today really?

i think a lot of people do think that the loyalty of college is great compared

Now that players are paid market value, they are basically employees. Not a lot

They’re not employees. They’re being paid by the fans that are willing to fork

I did qualify my statement with “basically.” With NIL, players will have the

Important note, that collective bargaining won’t preclude NIL deals like we have

Contracts, salary caps, a regulated league, higher talent level…

Apr 24, 8:21pm

Owners don't guilt you into donating to a collective to pay their players.

The difference is every pro isn't a free agent every year

I agree, Jesse.

I don’t like pro players as I once did.

I really don't care about individual players.

Without a contract w the school, it's very dumb

Certainly makes me less patient with their on court flaws. You’re getting paid

Apr 24, 8:17pm

Precisely. You get paid more than 99% of fans

Archaea

Apr 24, 8:25pm

Most byu players are not making more than 99% of fans. In fact no players

I’m sure you know what kind of deals they have

Do you know what the top 1% of earners in the US looks like?

JoeExotic

Apr 24, 8:53pm

He didn’t say the top 1% of the US.

Apr 24, 9:23pm

I would argue top 1% of BYU fans may be higher than top 1% of US average

JoeExotic

Actually some are and will be.

Archaea

Totally agree, but as we raise expectations, somebody will say "hey, take it easy, they're just college kids!"

Or that student athlete garbage

TNT

Apr 24, 8:54pm

Certainly hard to get invested in players when you may lose them at any moment.

It makes me respect Noah and Fouss more.

Archaea

Collectives need to get smart and start requiring multi year contracts.

A player will just go to a school that doesn't do that. As long as there is a

Multi year contracts would be VERY appealing to players
