    ?Miami Hurricanes guard Isaiah Wong will enter the transfer portal on Friday if his name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation isn't increased, his NIL agent, Adam Papas of NEXT Sports Agency, told ESPN on Thursday.?

    The cesspool that is college basketball is just getting deeper.

    The point of NIL was to be able to make money off of your own rep and ability. Kids should be able to get $20 for an autograph, or branded t-shirts or endorse products. But none of that should be a guarantee and none of it should be tied to a school or the ability of the school to organize a bunch of boosters just to give cash to kids.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Yeah it's getting real hard to be interested in it anymore. What a mess they've created. There's no control in place for any of this. Kid just goes to the highest bidder and if he's not happy after that he just bids his services out again. Insanity.

    The NIL should be the place where a salary cap is put in place to level things out some. These guys don't need huge money. They deserve some, but not crazy ass money. The refusal and inability of the NCAA to handle this will destroy it completely.

    The thing about a free market is that it will correct itself. And it will and when it does it will be a rude awakening for some of these kids

    Exactly! College athletics got too big. We're seeing it correct itself with fewer asses in the seats and less give a damn. I've been involved in the recruiting side and I hate this. The kids deserve to be paid, but it can't be out of control.

    This. I'm all for the free market, but there has to be some sort of oversight, guidelines, something to keep it under control. It's just the wild west right now. There's a bubble being created and as past history shows, financial bubbles at some point burst.

    I repeat what I've stated before, most people have no clue how much money these guys get PRE NIL. Free room and board. Pell grant. Stipend. Academic money. Now this. Most will never ever live this well in their lives.

    Is it just ball players you don't want making more than you or is it everyone? Let's limit Elon Musk's earning power, doesn't he have enough already?

    They will get what the market will pay them. Either you believe in a free market or you don't. I prefer free market unless it actually hurts someone, causes a monopoly or in for public works. These socialist programs that fund fireman, police officers, public schools, public roads, bridges or healthcare like Medicare and Medicaid are all all fine but socialism for entertainment like sports? Not so much.

    Now, what we do need is some sort of control over the movement between teams. I feel as if the monies will work itself out the same way it's always been. The big money teams will continue to buy players, just legally now.

    I do expect some sort of contract language that limits all this crap of guys moving because they had a good year or possibly the NCAA finding some way to set some guidelines. It's like the NCAA just said **** it, I don't care let them do whatever they want, once they lost the supreme court case.

    Guys in the media like Jay Bilas wouldn't shut up about it. The Presidents and the NCAA buried their heads in the sand and hoped to win in the courts. Now Pandora's box is open and we have chaos.

    Pro sports leagues aren't free markets. There are salary caps, luxury taxes, drafts and most importantly contracts. There has to be some sort of competitive balance.

    I don't give a damn. I've got kids playing college ball myself. I don't believe they deserve crazy money either. Pay them like they're got a part time job, plus a nice stipend for beating their bodies up. Then, if the school or whoever is selling shit with their names on it etc, let them make some off that. This paying a kid crazy money to sign etc. is stupid as hell.
    Their education and housing etc. alone is approaching $100K. Some places it's well beyond that. Let's not pretend they're not well compensated to begin with.

    MDL: "Is this what you want college football to be?"

    Masses: "yes!"

    MDL: "Eh KaY."

    Im all for players getting paid off their image and likeness but the NIL needs better rules and some sort of cap.

    But I don't buy that this is why we can't get recruits because paying college athletes has been going on forever. I know this because I have family members who played D1 sports and could tell you plenty of stories of pay for play.. some schools used to get caught, but most didn't.

    The only difference now is that it is public knowledge and not being done under the table, so now we as fans have insight on it and pass judgment. But money has always been around so it can't be an excuse to not be able to bring in players at MSU.. we aren't that bottom of the barrel as some try to say we are.

    That is true, but once coaches started getting multi-million buyouts and the universities started making millions of dollars selling Tebow jerseys to every Floridian that could afford to buy one, all the student athlete didn't get a cut, at some point they did this to themselves.

    If they had been smart, they would have turned the faucet on years ago and started sharing revenue with the college athlete. That would have avoided all of this. Instead they handed out multi-million dollar contracts to every coach they could find, and then fire them within 3 years.

    When Matt Luke and JoMo can have generational wealth after coaching for basically two seasons, that is not the fault of the athlete.

    I agree with that...but its always been like this to some degree.... always....it can't be an excuse because every team is dealing with it... not just us. But other teams are making moves. We have to do the same.
    I'm looking at the top transfer portal rankings and teams like Providence, Arkansas, Georgia, Arizona State, Texas Tech etc lead the rankings.... there's no way you can't tell me we can't bring in 6 good/solid players just because of NIL.
