I am all for transparency but goodness you would have lockerroom fights if you publicized what one player was paid over another one. I think you have to leave the amounts that are paid to the coaches. If you don't trust the NIL to do the right thing then you have much bigger issues.
My problem with the Light The Tower or whatever it is called NIL for football is that a large portion of the donation like 20-30% goes to the Houston guys that run it. I want all the money to go to the players. That is why I choose not to participate in it.
Does anyone know how our NIL dollars compare? What is our NIL commitment $$$? Remember that article came out BEFORE this season. Those numbers will grow exponentially. If A&M is at $10 million we have to be around what? Are we even six figures? That seems unlikely. $50K?
How is it going to be a write off to compensate someone for their name, image and likeness?
Even if you move away from NIL and make their compensation straight salary, I don’t see how our government is going to allow paying college football players to be a write-off. With everything going on in the world, you are going to incentivize people with the tax-code to pay college football players millions of dollars? It’s not a good look.
