The NIL
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 1:50 am
Wow. Not too many posts on the college football forum. Don't know if this will be seen for months, but whatever.
Just speculating, will teams in the SEC, primarily Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Mississippi State, and Arkansas lose status and glory due to the NIL? Will schools like TAMU and Florida see mass improvements in recruiting and overall success? Will the SEC lose control over the the number one conference in the nation?
I ask because, just listening to Saban and Jimbo going at it, it seems that Saban is really worried about the NIL hurting his recruiting in the state of Alabama. While Texas has more wealth and wealthy boosters, how will that negativity effect the schools of the SEC that are not as wealthy.
I am a fan of Arizona State. We are doomed by the NIL, but also our admin for not having the forethought on how to prepare for it. USC offered six figures to our outstanding freshman linebacker, and voila he transferred. They just reportedly gave 3 Mill to Addison from Pittsburgh. How can we ever compete with that? We will be lucky to go to a bowl game every 5 years. Oregon and USC will be the cream of the crop with a little UCLA in there.
At this point in time, I am not a big fan of the nil and its current form. I don't mind giving the players a bit of cash, benefits. But I don't think it should be allowed as a recruiting tool. There is no equal footing with that. Wins don't matter success doesn't matter as much as the financial payout. I think that's poor look for college athletics. Someone Change my mind
