NIL

[Show-Me Hog]

Besides the self-righteous end hunger and homelessness bullshit.

Those were just examples. The money could also go to buying the 8th and 9th Christmas gift for your kid.

To me virtually anything is better than giving it to a stranger, a teenager, to play football. I'd rather blow it in a slot machine.

I completely agree.  It was just the way he said it.  Guess I'm being pedantic.  While I agree with what he said, I didn't like how he said it.

Yeah I know what you mean. "What about the children?" "There is so much wrong in the world today." The moral angle is not the point. It's just not my thing that I will ever give money to a kid to play football. I'll light my cigar with a $100 bill first.

Not saying yall are wrong but this is why Arkansas will always be last in the SEC. This is how the majority of Arkansas fans think, the rest are too poor to contribute anyway.

I'd rather win big with average players in a weaker conference then try to keep up with the big boys in the SEC.  We're obviously not cut out for it.

Would you live in the dorm if you had a couple of million in the bank?

I don't blame them but I would be broke a month before finals and get bounced for missing rent.
Still, it is crazy to be getting paid like that.

I respect your opinion on the subject.  I just don't ever want to hear you (or anyone else with the same opinion) say that bullshit "we aren't serious about football."  Unfortunately, athletes are paid these days.  Those are the rules.  I don't like them either. But those are the rules.

If they want to be paid, they should be paid like anyone else in the world (out of revenues from selling something, either the sporting event or something else, that would be a bona fide NIL if endorsed).

Me contributing money to their salary out of the goodness of my heart or because of some emotional connection to "Arkansas" doesn't happen in any other industry in the entire world that I am aware of, and isn't going to happen here (from me).

I have never once made the "we're not serious about football" argument. I don't think the whole structure is the right way to go about it so I don't blame anyone for not participating.

why are we putting up all this money so they can go to the portal and go to another school? Are there not contracts in the NIL where they can receive money from the school but if you leave you must pay it back. You can't just keep bouncing around to whoever gives you more money.

You should know Logic does not belong on this board much less in "college" athletics.

NIL is the closest thing to "reparations" that NAACP/BLM are ever going to get from white folks.

[SwahiliSteve]

Does this mean former players from decades before will come out of the woodwork demanding they receive pay...especially the high profile ones with shirts they still sell or are valuable?

Add that to Welfare and we are even.

[SwahiliSteve]

Y'all see in Ohio schools voted to allow athletes to profit off NIL? I know several other states are allowing or they have restrictions or prohibit...this is just gonna ruin things further
