[QUOTE="OICU812, post: 3112349, member: 72378"] Money corrupts. Doesn’t matter if it’s sports, politics, the environment, or any other thing you care to name. Look at the core values you learned as a child- care for others, take care of the earth, be faithful to the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, etc., you name it. When you find others, or yourself, running afoul of what you know deep down to be inherently good and right. . . You’ll always find money as the common denominator. The trouble with the simplistic view on sports is, CFB hasn’t been pure for at least 50 years, if it ever was. The upheaval we are seeing now with NIL is no more or less than the natural byproduct of all those Keith Jackson romantic moments that I grew up on, which were making him and ABC rich but in the moment nobody else. Then the coaches realized they could get rich because the product couldn’t happen without them. . . Now finally, the players have figured out the same thing. No idea where it goes from here, but a strong suspicion that the end result is me, and my offspring, spending a lot more fall Saturdays in the deer blind, as long as that doesn’t require a sponsorship.
