Is there a problem with NIL?

The average NBA G-League player receives a salary of $46,000-$47,000. MLS soccer players average salary is about the same. AAA minor league baseball salaries average $435,000.
But college players which would be a lower level league are demanding 1-2 million dollars to play their senior years.
Only the top 10% of college athletes make it to one of these developmental leagues but an average college player can make more money through NIL.

College football generates more revenue than the NBA G-League or the MLS, but I don't know where you got the idea that MLS players are making similar money to G-League players. The average salary in the MLS is over $500,000/year.

AAA baseball players don't make anywhere near that much money. Maybe you got them mixed up with MLS players.

1. How, exactly, is college football a "lower level league" compared to basketball, baseball, or hockey? There is no NFL minor league.
2. Minor league athletes are paid by their teams. Their endorsements - if any - are not.
3. College athletes don't get salaries from their teams.
4. Endorsement contracts are paid at whatever the parties agree is fair market value. That's not a problem.
Apples and oranges.

There are plenty of issues with NIL but this isn't one ...I would bet the upper echelons of high school football are bigger revenue draws than any NBA minor league so of course college football players are gonna have potential to earn more.... football in general puts ##### in seats and eyes on screens.

People often forget all about it when discussing giving them (more) money.
Just pay them all and do away with all the stipends.

Tell the truth now. Of the 5965 football players on scholarship in the Power 5 plus Notre Dame, are you really naive enough to think that more than maybe a couple of hundred, at the most, will have a W-2 from their NIL jobs for more than a few thousand dollars? Come on.

People who generate more money generally deserve more money.
I think that is called Capitalism.
