another thing I was thinking about today with some of these big money schools is NIL and bowl games. Doesn't it seem odd that players are getting big money for NIL deals and then decide to transfer or sit out to prepare for the NFL? For example if Ohio State NIL is paying one of their best receivers 300k per year, and he decided to sit out to prep for the NFL, does anything happen?
there should almost be some sort of contract or agreement that says if you opt out of a bowl game, you lose X amount of your University generated NIL deal or something. Maybe there is, but just seems like people are doing whatever they want.
