Sad thing about the portal & NIL

[BBB83]

Giving kids money like this in college will lead to a lot more kids who had professional capabilities flaming out in college. They will now have all this money and no one to guide them. No sports agent will be around to give them advice. They will get lazy and waste their opportunities. It will also attract low life people hanging around them bleeding them dry for wine, women and song. This is impending disaster. Many of these kids will end up with no money and no college degree. That's a shame!

If this leads to lower income ADs to dry up, how many high school kids won’t have access to scholarships for college? These are student athletes after all. Oh well.

I see nothing at all that can go wrong with giving 18- and 19-year olds $500,000+.

We're going to hear stories of former players with huge tax liens after living the good life short term.

Not sure how this much different than 1-and-done's in the NBA, etc.

They have a sports agent who's probably checking on them to make sure they are doing what's needed. The player's success directly affects the sport's agent success and income as well.

Love me some Helen Lovejoy but an 18-year old isn't a child.

You're an adult. Old enough to marry, vote, smoke, die for your country, etc.

The fact that a lot of these kids are going to somewhere between hilariously and tragically waste vast swaths of money they'll never see the like of again is just a realistic observation.

I’m here for it, too.

That's exactly my point. These aren't children. If they **** it up, and blow all of their NIL money, well... that sucks. Nobody to blame but themselves.

They're not children but they are kids? This is very confusing.

Yeah, I feel so sad for all those young adults and their hundreds of thousand (or possibly millions) of dollars.

John Daly's Son, a Freshman Golfer at Arkansas, Signs NIL Deal With Hooters

John Daly II is following in his father's footsteps. The son of two-time golf major champion John Daly is a freshman at Arkansas, the same school his father att

How do you think this kid will do in college with this deal? Given his family lineage, I bet not well. This just fuels his demise. Why should he have gotten NIL money over some other more worthy kid?

Good point. If you have time could you make a list of current Cyclones who should and should not be given money? I think your guidance could really help ensure no one makes mistakes by getting more money than they should.

Don’t immediately put the sins of the father onto a kid.

Who are we to decide who's more worthy? Pretty sure businesses can choose whoever they want to hire as representatives for their brand.

It's not any of your business nor mine. If you don't like it, don't go to Hooters

Exactly.

There are a lot of adults that will make poor decisions with a level of money they’ve never had before.

There isn’t an adult that would advocate an 18 year old to turn down a sure $500k over doing the same thing for basically free.

The fact that not all of these players will make wise decisions is nearly as pointless as pointing out seatbelt deaths.

A really good rule would be:
no NIL for 12 months after transferring; because there is obvious tampering going on. If they want playing time on another team , OK, I get that.

 

[Sigmapolis]

A lot of cousins are going to be getting that seed capital to start their record label at least.
