Even you pro-NIL guys are not happy. Student athletes getting a free education and other perks are not enough for you guys, greed popped up once you smelled money.
Now how do you propose to get out of this sh*t hole without totally destroying college sports?
I am a pro-NIL guy and I am not happy about the current situation, but that doesn't mean these players shouldn't get a piece of the pie. The NCAA really shot themselves in the foot by not slowly migrating to a system that these players could get equal to the cost of the average scholarship in their pockets. Like all schools should average the cost of attendence for a football player, average it across the entire country, and that is the maximum someone is allowed to be paid to play in college. Let's say for arguments sake, it is 80k a year. Maximum for all schools, all players, etc for the year that could be paid to a player. The player still gets all their scholarship perks, but has a share of the pie.
I am also not a fan of a student transferring, but fair is fair. Any student on campus can transfer to any school at any point during their college careers. Why should players be the exception? A player should be allowed to play 5 years, no redshirts. A player should be able to transfer once and play immediately. A player can transfer if the head coach is fired or leaves. All other transfers have to sit out a year before they can play, and it would cost a year of eligibility. No medical redshirts. You get 5 seasons to play unrestricted from the day you are on a roster.
