Understood BMX, but what is more valuable to society? I dislike NIL. I remember when the OBannon brothers first filed that suit in Los Angeles a bunch of years back and look what we have now? College kids with a million bucks and a new car (obviously not all). Good for them I guess and if I was an athlete I'd love it. On the other hand I'm not and I don't. Yep I was at Tiger Stadium on Saturday and I earned my way through life to get to that point. Maybe I'm showing my age...

I was there also. I am old AF. With that age, I've learned to not be upset about others being successful or making money.

I completely get why people don't like how NIL works with the constant tranferring. Its essentially non-stop free agency. But just not liking NIL? Why does it bother you, or anyone, that people get paid for their talent and hard work?

The horror of Ed OBannon wanting people to not use name image and likeness rights without permission or compensation. Lock him up!

At some point soon, you will see contracts at a minimum and the constant churn will get mitigated as a result. They've already reduced from two transfer windows to one starting next season.

Highly doubt we go back to the old way. Horse is out of the barn, but there are absolutely steps to be taken to clean this up and regulate it which will happen.
