The burden for the NIL should be on the fans, NFL players are gravy (and hopefully lot's of it).
No. NIL in its current state, which is pay for play, should be the burden of the university. Unfortunately, that is not the case so the fans have to carry that burden or your team will SUCK. I get why people are frustrated, I do. But if we continually count on others to foot the bill then we are going to be left for dead in a matter of months, not years. We have to get serious and get rowing in the same direction on this. I get it sucks and it is not right for everything to be on the onus of the average fan, but that is the world we live in. You have to get busy livin or get busy dyin.
