are, which is "Opening NIL Bid Opportunities".
The Dukes of the world are now looking at Clemson recruits as prime poaching candidates. I totally get why Dabo wants to use NIL to keep his guys that have proven they are good players. BUT, more and more, it seems that policy is meaning we are not going to continue to GET those good players going forward. I may just be seeing the sky falling when it ain't, but guys flipping from us to DUKE is a new dynamic, one that don't give me a warm fuzzy noneatalltoo.

It's not like a recruit from Georgia or Alabama flipping to Duke. Greensboro and Durham are about 50 miles apart. I'm sure their coaches used that and NIL offers$$ to sway him.
The true spirit and intent of the NIL is long gone or never really was around to begin with.

You just tell yourself that to justify losing recruits

"True spirit of NIL"?

That is subjective and undefinable.
It is what it is. It's here to stay.
It follows the time-honored American principle of "Let the market decide".

NIL was meant to reward players for making a name for themselves and getting some money since the school is making money. Feel like you know this.
Wasn't originally meant to be a recruiting tool for HS players that have never played a down of college ball or part of a bidding war for transfers that may or may not have been tampered with.

Bogus. NIL resulted from the NCAA...

preventing college athletes from profiting from their own NIL while the schools and the NCAA gut rich from it.
There were no stipulations in how it could be used and what's going on right now is calmed "entrepreneurship".
It's 100% legal under federal law and at least 31 states that have laws protecting it.
And...the NCAA and everyone if it's members will have to pay big bucks to defeat the costs of the House case settlement. That is karmic.

They definitely need to come up with some new recruiting verbiage for the modern, professional era of college football.

He’s one guy. There are lots of reasons why one guy might’ve made this decision. Let’s wait before we declare this a new trend.

I committed to begin training for a marathon this morning….at 1:00pm.
I have now committed to begin training for a marathon tomorrow morning.
I’m very committed to committing a commitment on committing. I’m so committed, I feel like maybe I should be committed.

He’s not too bright if he chose Duke over Clemson.

If his post college football future doesn't include pro football, especially.
A degree from Duke is nothing to sneeze at.

Right? I get that some people here are proud of their Clemson degree, and rightfully so, But Duke is on a completely different level academically. And let's be honest, most employers don't care where you went to school anyway....
