    They need to make laws that if a student makes excessive income from NIL or whatever else, they are required to pay for their education, housing, food and everything else that is included in these free ride scholarships. That would free up scholarships for folks that actually need it. If a student transfers out of a school before a certain period of time, they are required to pay back a % of what the school has invested into the player. I have always had the opinion that students on FULL scholarships get way more than they deserve. NIL and transfer portal will continue to ruin college sports except for a hand full of schools.

    Just going to touch on a couple of things you said- people have no idea what a "full scholarship" includes these days. This is prior to nil. Meals, room, meals. And I mean meals pretty much whenever you want them. Pell grant check( if applicable) stipend. Academic stipend... it's crazy. Add nil and MOST of the players will go into the real world and take a pay cut. And a major one if they don't make it professionally. .... too add NIL is about to make a whole lot of parents unhappy when they don't get a tax refund Bc their son/ daughter is getting a taxable benefit and they file their child on their taxes and find out not only is the refund gone but they owe taxes. And while they might not owe a lot it's different than getting a refund. Most kids aren't telling the parents they are getting a 1099 for the nil.
