[QUOTE="Frozen Frog, post: 3053085, member: 71841"] There were jokes about the Eric Dickerson pay cuts to go to the NFL. It's only a matter of time before a player actually has to take a pay cut to play in the NFL since all his eligibility is used. The SEC has been working on how to pay players for since the 70s. The SWC just got caught! Now the SEC is focused on dominating this market. I guess they would rather buy football players than library books. Ryan Day and others have opined on these issues. The problem is NIL is unregulated. There is no limit as to what a booster can pay anyone. Certain players make way more while others struggle based on name and position. You've got kids coming from well off families making large amounts of money while others who might be coming from low income situations who end up making nothing. Both players are starting! Let's not even open the Title IX issues right now. How many female athletes do you see signing 6 figure deals?! I am waiting for the day when a booster demands a kid start due to the NIL money they are paying them. How about when a kid refuses to play as they prep for whatever even though they are making money through NIL? Something has to change. Maybe the NIL money needs to go to the school where it can be equally distributed. Maybe it needs to be put in escrow accounts where it only gets distributed after graduation. This was meant to help kids be able to afford what they needed in school and to work extra jobs. It has turned in to a racket. [/QUOTE]
