This is such a bad precedent. If athletes are going to start getting paid then they should pay for their education, end athletic scholarships. Otherwise, they need to remain amatuers until they are finished with college.

my friend he IS still amateur. Name, Image, Likeness =NIL.  

while I am not a fan of skipping last year of highschool at all.

1.4 million has significant impact both now and in the future. not all highly rated recruits are gonna get deals to sign. scholarships come first to the players. 

what I am getting at is no way programs are pass on not offering scholarships to the better more well known players because they may or may not get a NIL deal.

I believe he graduated early,  so he finished his diploma work.

Still not enough.  That tv money is the real prize.  Once the players get a hold of that, then I will be happy....

I sense sarcasm but NIL, albeit nice, is just a diversion from TV money and the ability for niche sports and title 9 to exist.  When Jimbo Fisher gets a raise(and I'm an Aggie fan) without winning the SEC west, let alone the whole conference, there's still money out there for the unpaid labor

Always knew there was something good about you. lol

I also think you are spot on with the TV money.

As for the NIL, personally I think it should be college and not high school. But that's just me.

I thought you knew AAW.  Been a fan since Jackie Sherrill came to CS in '81......

But yeah, run that TV money.  ESPN bought the rights to the CBS 230 game for about 330 million alone........

Agree with all that (except for the part about that being a good thing about Austin1985).  That may be his only flaw
