If the NFL doesn't work out for Drake

Maybe he can go QB for BB.

As NIL money is spinning out of control, it is probably going to ruin the NFL. There are a lot of players who will make more playing another year or two in college than being drafted on the third day of the draft. Maybe even the second day of the draft. For many of them there is little incentive of going into the NFL until they use up all of their eligibility. And a lot of those guys will end up getting injured or just wash out as they play longer in college and lose all or most of their prospect value for the NFL.

And before anyone jumps, when I say ruin I mean just make the product less and less watchable. Not that the NFL will collapse or anything.

But then again, on the flip side a lot of other guys who choose to stay in college and get paid could come out of college more NFL ready. The downside for these players is that they will be another year or two older and teams will get less long term value.

How long before the NFL draft includes high school players, with teams paying colleges NIL money for the prospects and owning their rights when they graduate?

The pendulum always swings.


This too shall pass. NIL and NFL will find some middle ground way. May take a couple years, but it will shake out.

Jayden Daniels is suing his former school over using his number "5"

A few elite QB's or WR's are making more than a million dollars or more, but I doubt OLmen are getting that. That might be a factor for a QB or two but staying in college is another year they take off their NFL careers, risk injury, and slow down their career trajectories to potentially getting that 2nd contract where the REAL money resides.

This injunction might affect a few fringe players, but if you are a first- or second-day talent, you getting to the NFL as fast as you can.

His math teacher was named as the biggest offender

The dream of the NFL will keep things flowing. PS players : yes they’re better off being WR2 at Ole Miss.

Unless things have escalated further, he's "only" sent them a cease and desist letter, demanding they stop displaying his Heisman (among other things).

And, c'mon, he didn't even win a natty like Joe Burrow.

Or he could go into acting/modeling.

He would probably earn more $$$ at UNC than here on his rookie deal....

I see no educational benefit whatever to major sports at the college level. Colleges are, or were, educational institutions. The colleges should get out of the entertainment business. Let the students find some other means of amusing themselves of a Saturday. Let the alumni find some other way to fill their pathetic need to relive their adolescence on the field or in the stands. The NFL should start a farm system, rather than using our educational establishment for that purpose in a manner which contributes nothing to the schools' actual educational mission.

Let’s hope they don’t add another year of eligibility for the kids in school. Keep it the way it is redshirt included. I can’t blame the kids for taking advantage of the nil since most of them won’t do squat in the nfl….maybe there needs to be a cap and all players get some sort of nil, not just the stars.

He would lose his axx if it ever did make it to court.

Its taken the web by storm.

KISS Gene Simmons wanted to throw out 5 pitches to start a MLB game and the team would not allow him out of respect for Daniels. Somebody posted a pic of Deon Sanders foot showing 4 toes.

The problem is the courts supersede either the NCAA or the NFL. If the Courts develop a system that cannot be resolved cleanly, there is nothing that the two organizations can do.

In many schools, they use money made off of sports to improve educational facilities, hire the best professors, fund scholarships and financial aid for academic achievement and financial need, etc. It does have an educational benefit in a lot of schools.

Maybe we need to go back to the days when athletes, many from poor families, are given a scholarship and chump change. Meanwhile the colleges and universities are making millions off football and basketball.
I remember when my daughter went to college in the Amherst MA area. Marcus Camby jerseys were being sold everywhere and going like hotcakes. He got nothing. But an agent gave his mother a bracelet and Marcus was declared ineligible for the next season.
The NCAA cabal treated these athletes like slaves. If they had treated them better maybe we wouldn't have NIL or the transfer potal today.
