    At this point I look forward to seeing the whole sham burn down. Never been a watch the world burn type of guy, but I think it is time. This will totally snowball into lawsuits from other individuals like ladies who feel that they are being discriminated against by not having the same type NIL deal. Also I feel for some of our brightest students who work their ass off for academic scholarship money only to be laughed at by a football player with an ACT of 17 making 6 figures

    I imagine agents will get involved with this NIL thingy! Easy picking for them.

    I got a feeling UofMemphis is about to recruit better too. There are a lot of commercial entities that use Tiger basketball for ads. I'm sure some of those would be happy to have actual basketball and football players in those ads.

    First off I'd like to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play at this level. Also want to thank my mama for driving me to practice all those days. And I got to thank, Bin612, Oby's, Trustmark bank, Parker McGill Dodge, and Bulldog Package Store for making all this possible. And don't forget my homies on the Little Dooey offensive line.

    I think you may be surprised at the money we have backing MSU. I know several big time MSU alumni that would be willing to write off 250k a year to pay these players/family's or provide jobs for parents.

    I laugh at ppl when they exclaim "I am done with college football because... ". But this could seriously kill it for me. I don't mind being somewhat na?ve and believing that next year will be THE year, but knowing that glimmer of hope will soon be diminished... I might as well punt now.

    Take whatever you think we have, multiply it by 50, 100, 200 times and you will have the Bama's and Texas's of the world.

    And that may be true but we don't need to pay but 5-10 premium players a year and yes we can compete on that level.

    Now, instead of $800 handshakes and getting a recruits mama a 70k job, that money will be funneled through a car dealership in exchange for a 30 second add.

    But the effect is the exact same: more money, more recruits. You?ll just see it now
    Effect is still the same? $1.2M for a player who hasn't played?

    Most weren't millionaires... many from the blue bloods will be. This is just the beginning of the end.

    Hypothetical- What happens if Will lights it up this year and Mullen gets a gator donor to come and offer him or any of the key pieces around him that help make it possible. That's the part that scares me. The portal and NIL can't exist together.

    Yep. And that "payment" has been steadily increasing over the years.

    This has nothing to do with advertising dollars. Do you think one person on earth will care about the endorsement of a teenager when they need to buy 30 million dollars worth of concrete from USA Ready Mix?

    Or a $100 million dollar building from Harbert?

    Or $500k worth of yellowwood?

    This is about crazy rich people who can spend this kind of money on dinner getting into ego wars. And we don't even have the chips to sit at the table.

    I think this will eventually lead to (in the next 5-10 years) a minor league for college football and a return to amateur status for college players who play with little to no scholarships.

    It's over with.

    Amateur athletics had a great run. I look forward to seeing the train crash from this mess.
