Gary this is a Wendy's. The question was, what sauce you want with those spicy nuggets?
Does anyone know if there is a rule against a school paying for the player's NIL? I know they can't pay them for their play, but could the AD pay players for appearing on the team poster? Doing a radio or TV commercial promoting season tickets? Etc?

So then NIL isn't to blame? Since it wasn't a thing yet? Maybe Gary's message is stale.He lost 23 last year.
It’s almost like they were always employees and never student athletes who played purely for “love of the game”!
Sorry, I just can’t feel bad about coaches getting their players poached when there are 60+ football coaches making $2,000,000 or more per year to coach “amateur sports” which still don’t directly pay the players any money.
NIL will make the number of transfers increase.
NIL needed to happen. It did.
But now this wild west phase with a rogue SEC is really fubar.
This last weekend I didn't watch college football by choice. 1st time since I started having memories.
I didn't miss it. Money has killed the fun of college football.

He should probably look in to why so many of his players are leaving.
Why? Just give scholarships to some and pay more to "walk-ons." I am probably in the minority, but I think college football survives but as a former shell of itself. I think it will take a long time but eventually it is not going to make financial sense for a bulk of schools to try to play either at the same level as the blue bloods or at all. The top division of CFB will eventually be fairly small, and while there will be pockets of regional intense interest, the national interest is going to die.
I think in 20 years or so we'll look at 2010 - 2030 as a bubble era in college sports media and finances. It's not going to be the XFL or anything, but between the declining attendance, what appear to be declining TV ratings, and a massive reduction in football participation in the sport among kids I think an ultimate contraction of competition at the highest levels of CFB are going to eventually devastate national popularity.
Some of this is realignment, and some is NIL/pay to play. And sometimes things like this just have to happen to industries. I think NIL and pay to play for college sports, football especially is the right thing to do. I also think it's going to destroy college football eventually.

To be fair though, every coaching staff should be doing this.
college sports will largely be like baseball. regional, and if your team is successful people will watch that. I can't see it continuing on the path that SEC & ESPN envision.
I actually don't believe I've watched a single snap of any of the college playoff games since it began.
I believe our culture will be more protective than most. A lot of our guys could have went for the paychecks after last year, but came back because they wanted to do something special together.
Agree, we should also have attorneys seeing how far we can bend the rules on this stuff - we know the southern schools will do that.
I think the Jamie Pollard foundation needs a new spokesperson - maybe we should go offer Bryce Young $5M to be that spokesperson for his foundation?
This sums me up pretty well. I support the players being able to make money off their NIL in a legitimate way, they should absolutely be able to do that. I am just not sure that there is a great system for doing this where the NIL stays legitimate and doesn't turn into teams bidding for the best players through their donor network.
So you think eventually destroying college football is the right thing to do?
I think it's a pretty big leap to say paying players for NIL will lead to the destruction of college football. It's going to change some of the recruiting and player retention dynamics but college football isn't going away.
