It’s so wrong. These kids a lot off time do not have the maturity to handle that amount of money and not kill themselves. There should be no NIL money in college sports. Plus they should be made to earn a USEFUL degree, not basket weaving.

NIL is a fraud. It’s no more than a way for schools to buy athletes. It’s already out of control.
