Right now the NIL is in reality only a payment for name, image and likeness and is not actually a payment by the team or the school. So no you cannot tie it to performance. Silly but true.

And what is the NCAA, or the conferences or any other "governing body" for that matter, going to do about it when one of these "combines" (or I assume a "combine" of 1 very wealthy backer) cuts off a million-dollar player who fails to perform? Claims the player no longer has a million-dollar name, image or likeness?

The "pie" that they are destroying was exploitative, and destructive, and left 98% of the players with jack [ Finebaum ]e, while making many others rich. Your own beloved Scotty Nix died at 53 directly because of football. Many others of us were left with crippling injuries. The million dollar coaches and admins risk none of that, and realize nearly all the profit.

"Oh but they got a degree."

BS. First, many do NOT get a degree. Second, most get a degree that isn't worth diddly, in Sports Management and such. Third, most could have gotten a much BETTER degree without 40 hours of practice, travelling every other weekend, getting their brains beat in, etc. Lastly, many don't need to have gotten a degree in the first place, as many worthwhile professions don't require a degree.

"Oh but that's a choice they made. They entered into a CONTRACT!" Oh, really? A free choice, not sold to them and their parents as something it was not? Give Steel a break, and open your eyes.

From the player perspective, football sucks. It's human cockfighting. When you're 19, you don't know any better - it's great! So FUN! When you're 35, or 55, you realize it was a giant waste of time, caused you to do things you would never have otherwise done (like gain 50, or 100 pounds), and left you with nothing but a few memories and a bunch of injuries which get worse over time.

So, what EVER the players can get now of what hopefully is a shrinking pie, more power to them.

They are for now getting their piece of the pie. Reality is, they're taking a dump in dish. Everyone knows it and they aren't going to buy the stinking smelly mess for much longer.

Would love to see just about any player provide an accounting of the deals they received, and the actual use of their name, Image, or likeness.
