I would imagine players, recruits, and their agents / handlers love it. I believe it is here to stay. It is brought to you by the same idiots contemplating letting thewm bet on pro sports. That whole thing is very is very unseemly

yes but there are only a few thousand players and they are gone after 3-5 years. There are millions and millions of fans who will follow it for many years.

We can thank our state legislators for passing NIL and revenue sharing into legal law. They did not have enough brains to put limits on it. That opened the bottle let out the devil of college athletics.
Now it’s a freaking locomotive heading downhill out of control without any way to stop the catastrophic crash ahead !!!
IMO it’s a disaster even many college sports programs did not foresee !!! 💥💥🔥🔥🌪️🌪️

Is your question do you like the NIL or is your question has the product on the Field suffered overall?
I imagine schools like Indiana and Vanderbilt will say they like it because they’ve used it and gotten better. Clemson some people will say they don’t like it because their coach hasn’t used it and we have fallen behind. Now and I is not the only reason but an IL in the portal of certainly a part of it.
But when you actually watch games is the product worse? I would argue no

Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of players being able to monetize their NIL. Think it is here to stay and players are in just the beginning of an income escalation.

No we don't. There is not any end in sight. It is ruining it as we know it. BUT NONE OF THIS MATTERS. Denying the reality of the situation does not change it. Clemson needs to exploit every legal opportunity to build a better football team. Period. Full stop. People's feelings or preferences do not matter. Clemson personnel needs to focus on building the best team possible given these constraints or get out of the way of those who will do exactly that.

Are you and all of the other Clemson fan base willing to put up the necessary 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 to allow Clemson go buy a $3 to $5 million dollar player. Yes I said player not players !!! So far as IPTAY and others associated with seeking more revenue sources have met with negative resistance. Either put up or shut up as they say !
So where is the money going to come from ???

As someone who is already paying low 5 figures to support this team I sorta of feel like My family is doing its part. How about you?
And you seem to be confusing a couple issues here. Clemson already pays our players millions of dollars. Do you think Cade isn't collection multiple millions!?And you seem to think they are still "student athletes". They are not. They are paid mercenaries. And perhaps IPTAY is running into resistance because the business owners and execs that write the truly large checks see the dysfunction within the program. a bloated and inexperienced staff ripe with nepo hires. The can see a big check wouldn't likely generate a desirable return. Hard facts in a big boy world. Either Dabo and the BOT decide they want to run with big dogs or they don't. If they don't I'll find other ways to support Clemson but it won't be 5 figure IPTAY checks.

but like others have said, there's really no chance of it going away. It's another case of people denying the slippery slope and then once we've slid down it, they say "it's good that it's this way."

Not me. I think its terrible but my opinion counts for zip. The only hope I have is that somebody grabs the bull by the horns and sets some pretty strict guidelines for it. The NCAA (not likely) or the federal government (more likely). Without it eventually the parody everyone says it has brought will devolve into a consistent group of 20-30 teams that are elite while everyone else are nothing more than glorified farm teams.

That’s what is so nice about the COOTS, losing a fortune on two players and still suck. There is no way in #### that their quarterback turned down $8 million to remain a COOT.

NIL has not changed the game at all because the better teams win each game. What you have to separate is the better from the most deserving because the ball bounces funny, the flag is thrown and a dozen other happen, but that is sports at any level.

The game is not fun any more. There is no heart left just like the pros. Transfer portal is even worse, no accountability and no consequences for leaving. Way to fix NIL and possible transfer issues, is money goes into a trust and the player can receive it after they have a dipolma from a credible college. At least they have to account for something. Snowflake players can not be coached now as they do not like to be critized and it is not politically correct to criticize a player or coach.

Lots of people confuse what might be individually good for a player making a bunch of money for a couple of years as being good for the game.
It is clearly terrible for the game. It has created a never ending source of conflict, both individuals and principles.
I think it is bad for players. These kids now come right out of highschool and expect to start right away. What is really happening is that players are not getting the training they need because they will not sit and learn the game. This is leading to a reduced football IQ that results in naturally talented players that enter the NFL essentially having to be retrained in how to play the game.

I think MOST people would say NIL is a good thing, but the implemtation of it is horrid.
No rules of the road. Each state has different rules. There is no accountability or recourse.
If we had an agreed-upon set of rules that everyone followed, it would be much better.

You must put caps on NIL money. Change the transfer rule to just once and after that, you have to sit out a year.

I think it is bad enough that we may see some schools that are in FCS or very low in FBS actually drop their football programs. They do not make enough money from those programs to pay players. My buddy here at work has a son that is a trainer for Jacksonville St and he told me their entire football budget for the year is made from their one televised game against an FBS opponent. NIL and revenue sharing makes zero sense for them because they are always on the bleeding edge of breaking even.
