The reason they want "the mob", as I think the Romans called the regular folks, to pay for NIL is so the coaches, admins, ESPN talking heads (like Saban), and Disney/ESPN Execs can keep making their millions. And so schools can cycle thru coaches every 2 or 3 years and be able to afford many millions of dollars of buyouts ... Plus bigger coaching salaries. Like Auburn does every 2 years or so.

The players are an issue but in the big scheme ... They're a nit.

Bread and circuses. Barely paying attention to it now. Enjoyed it while it lasted.
