So as I read the "name, image and likeness (NIL)." rules this was designed for college athletes but this seems to not be true. 9-year-old in Snoop Dogg's youth football league signs 6-figure NIL deal A 9-year-old Los Angeles football player has become perhaps the youngest person to sign a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal with a sports agency. KTLA reported that Ghalee Wadood Jr., who plays in Snoop Dogg’s Youth Football League, signed a deal worth six figures with Family 4 Life. “It’s kinda surreal,” Ghalee Wadood Sr., who is an employee of the Los Angeles Rams, said to KTLA. “It’s humbling and exciting for [the agency] to see his potential and want to manage him.” https://usatodayhss.com/2023/9-year-...igure-nil-deal What could possibly go wrong here? |

Greed killed it. TV revenues started it. After that, its was a question of trickle down economics. Hate to be socialist about it but college athletes should be in college for an education otherwise just become a professional athlete and leave the people who want an education alone to study in colleges. I love what college football used to be decades ago.

I think the biggest threat to college athletics is the transfer portal. Now schools can back door recruit a kid, they come over and play day one. Zero risk.
When you had to sit a year, that would have helped regulate NIL deals. No play, no exposure, harder to get a deal. |

The 9 yr old's parents may disagree unfortunately. Of course now parents will have even more motivation to pour time and money into early athletic training for their poor kids because of these payouts.

And if players were bypassing college football to go pro, thats still only about 1% of college football athletes that eventually go pro. Do you just tell the other 99% "sorry, sucks to suck"? What about all the other athletic programs the football team pays for? Do you just get rid of all college athletics?

Absurd comparison. Actors are paid for their work and there are significant rules on this. This kid will not be able to negotiate a contract for 10 years. The the point you are missing is "name, image and likeness" is pay for advertising and are you going to buy a car because a 9 year old tells you too?

And you do realize theres a lot more to advertising than just car dealerships right? This kid signed with an agency that will manage him through high school. Plenty of athletic companies out there that will pay him if he keeps on his current trajectory. and if he isnt in the .001% of youth athletes that go pro? he now has a decent amount of money to help set up his future.

maybe removing all the extra curriculars will offset the losses, but then youre punishing a ton of students because you dont want a handful of students playing football? make that make sense

Most of these kids will blow their money regardless. Or their parents will steal it.
As a consumer, I want the best product possible and that's not NIL. I don't really care about their specific situations since it doesn't impact me. Should get rid of NIL |

If only my parents had exploited me way back when Gerber came calling. All they wanted was my likeness, too . . .

The NIL era has simply shared the wealth that Universities have enjoyed for decades. Unfortunately, recruits are factoring the potential deals into their choice of institutions. Who would blame them when they see their coaches arriving in expensive cars and living in impressive homes? Just don't start arguing that Reggie Bush should be given his Heisman, his illegal benefits were from boosters that the NCAA deemed against the rules at the time.

The transfer portal is worse for CF than NIL. Most of the NIL is just the illegal secret money from the past which is now legal.
The mega TV deals are bad for all sports, athletes make way too much money. Over the past 20yrs the top NBA salary has increased 10x. 20yrs ago 171 players made 1M+, today its 460. The greed of sports has turned me off on almost all of them over the past 10yrs. It's just a fricken game. Colleges would be fine without the TV revenue, I doubt it barely covers all the costs of the programs. There are 361 D1 schools, maybe a few dozen have a profitable sports program, the rest is covered by non-sports revenue ie tuition.
