Just get fucking contracts. This is so asinine.

The whole thing needs rules and regulations. It's lacking.
We're kidding ourselves at this point. I know we have literally 0 sway over what happens, so I'm just bitching to bitch lol. But I don't think you could invent a worse system than NIL. Like WVU opened a bar that helps fund NIL. It's owned by a sports agent. So the guy gets kickbacks on the bar profits, a % of the money goes to NIL, and he presumably has an in with the players, and gets a % of their NIL money, partially paid for by the bar he owns. Like....that feels insane to me given the setup for the players. Lmao
It's literally the wild west.
Gonna be at least a few years till some semblance of sanity arrives.
Sadly. Lot of schools are gonna suffer the fallout too. I've long said even the previous model isn't sustainable. Schools are spending so much on stadiums and facilities and equipment, and every school felt the need to keep up. It's long been an issue, but now money is flowing freely to players while the school still manages the same costs, if not more for the NIL shortcomings.
NIL mess continues.
What? This kid needs to get better agents. Why on earth would you stop playing to try and get a transfer somewhere else? No one's gonna take you without tape dog
He has to stop to be redshirt eligible, no?
Oh 4 games, yeah I hadn't thought about that. Hence me not being an agent
