AbsolutelyNothing is guaranteed for their future but the here and now. They will chase the dollars everyday.

I do judge. It isn’t pro ball. It is a college scholarship in return to play football. At TCU, that is about a 250k offer.some kids will be motivated by money, some will be motivated by a winning program and a good coach. the choice is theirs to make.
for some cfb players they come from struggling families and their college NIL money could go a long way to help. it’s hard to get to the pros so it may be your only chance to get paid.
who are we to judge - the players make their own decisions.
I said this when it first came out, this is not a good thing. It would become a bidding war. Too many don’t think about unintended consequences .
I thought the schools were not supposed to organize the NIL directly and the players had to do it on their own. I have a feeling there are a lot of people that are jumping the limited rules out there and will never get called on it.
Personally, I just want the 32 or so money school to break away and form their own league. Then the rest of us could get back to creating something that has rules and something to help allow for parity like every major league sport does.

No sir. This is college athletics not pro sports. You think your clever with your dig. But hey, you got your jab at the “Man.”this is the free market at work. many of you most likely want to cut regulations and let the free market work. well…..here you go.
I never said there was parity now. We still have everyone trying to compete with the big money (greed) schools. I think that if the schools that are most after the big money leave, the majority of those in the middle would be happy to not try to keep up with the big money. They may then try to compete for wins not who has the highest budget and most resort like training facilities.They can’t organize it directly but they can beg their donors to do it all they want. As long as
There’s no parity now in regard to program wealth
The admin sold their souls to get the $$ they needed for the stadium. This is the main reason for the lack of butts in seatsThis really shouldn’t be surprising. TCU has built itself up on the back of a small, select number of large donors over the years. Not inviting the common alumni and fanbase into opportunities is why they don’t have the support of the community or the alumni buy in they want.

I say we start a Killerfrogs Offensive Lineman Player of the Week GoFundMe where we all chip in some $$, invite the kid to do a live show, give him the moola, and maybe the sponsors give him something cool. Maybe that’s how we get Heims involved. Free food for a week!Do we start a nil gofundme or what?
Spot on. What F.A. Dry spoke about in hushed tones in a booth at the Carriage House restaurant on Camp Bowie 40 years ago, Patterson is now shouting from the rooftops. "There is no wrong anymore," Patterson says. The truth is that nothing has ever been "wrong" in big-time college football unless you got caught (or turned yourselves in, as we stupidly did in the '80s).college sports haven't been what the are 'supposed to be about" for decades now
