Still can't get a grip on how nuts this has become. As mentioned somewhere else, Reggie Bush lost his Heisman and USC had to vacate wins over actions that are more than commonplace now. Wasn't SMU's death penalty over the same things?
As I see it, the only way to rein this in is for the have nots (that's us) to band together and try to get the Supreme Court and NCAA's decision (and lack of) modified to reflect the true intent of the SC ruling. Yes an athlete can go sign up with Joe's Chevrolet and be a poster boy for money. It might be outrageous in some cases but it should be Joe writing the checks for the world to see. This Collective crap totally flies in the face of the NIL concept. Name, Image and Likeness. Like a side job. That's all athletes wanted originally was some pizza money.
Would take some pressure off of the schools as well. You want to transfer here for money? Well, son (or daughter), have at it. I suppose supplying a list of potential suitors would be OK.
I know, ridiculous of me to think these horses could be brought back into the barn. But would be curious to hear what folks here, particularly you attorneys, think about this possibility. Otherwise we are looking at 3 levels of Division I.
