How many of these poor kids went to camps and put together highlight videos to send to coaches hoping to be offered a chance to be so completely taken advantage of?

And then, they celebrate in February when they sign the Letter of Intent with the school that is going to force them to play football.  They wear the colleges shirts and caps and take photos with friends and family.  All to celebrate being forced into unpaid labor.  It’s very strange.

Even more strange are the players known as “walk-ons.”  They beg for the opportunity to have a chance to be on the team, even without getting the middling scholarship to play.

Why do they do it?

Now you hush with those pesky facts.

Spoken like someone who comes from a school that perfected paying student athletes before it was legal and is still trying to defend the practice although it is not as the NIL intended.

EDIT:  Haha, I pissed him off and earned an angry face.

I'm not the one who did the angry face lol.

The NIL and transfer portal are the current facts of life.While I don't like it I accept it because I enjoy college sports over professional even though the line is now somewhat blurry. On another note a Georgia court just ruled that their colleges can pay players direct .
