NIL deals won't come with the kinds of pension, retirement, health care and disability benefits that NFL players receive under collective bargaining, particularly after playing three seasons.
I seem to recall fans supporting the general idea that players could finally earn some money. Maybe some also had opinions on transfers becoming a little easier.
I don't recall anybody wanting a system like the present, where there are no limits and no responsibilities for players getting paid and it seems like everybody can transfer all the time, including players after the season and before the bowl games.
College football is completely broken now. Don't know how it gets fixed.
I’m one of them, but I never have and never will support them making millions of dollars. It’s not a career, it’s 4-5 years of your life designed to prepare you for your career. Plus, the players are NOT the attraction. I’m going to games to watch North Texas, not any specific player. People now say to “Cheer for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back,” but it’s basically been that way forever. I mean, we cheer for someone until they graduate, then we cheer for the next guy. We never stop being fans because a player graduates.
