Open original source ↗This was always my biggest fear about NIL. 99% of student athletes didn’t have an issue, but we changed the system because we thought the 1% were not being treated fairly. Now the 99% (all genders in all NCAA sports) may suffer so that a few judges and elites feel better about how the 1% are treated. And keep in mind that age limits in NBA and NFL contributed to this problem. No one worried about golf or tennis or even baseball. You could just go pro.

Kirby Smart on NIL: “I just want to be able to have a freshman come in and not make more than a senior and I’d like for other sports to be able to still survive. You know, we’re on the brink of probably one to two years away from a lot of schools cutting sports.” (via @finebaum) https://t.co/qrqzDYlTC8
