I would be and was just as vocal about this when it led to us not getting players. Most of you were too. I am not going to change my tune this time because we're the ones benefiting, which most of you seem ready to do.

I hope you put some soft pads down on the ground in case you fall off your high horse !

I'm pretty consistent and it's not about ruining fun. Imo, dishonesty and greed are ruining college athletics. Collectives and pay for play disguised as NIL is the most dishonest practice in sports, and I am against it. I would be and was just as vocal about this when it led to us not getting players.

Good vibes for Juke with the experts thoughts. Let's lock and load this and keep the train rolling.

Genuinely, nobody cares.

It’s the way things are now. Either die on this hill and stop watching college athletics for a while or quit complaining.

So accept bad things? Look, I promise I mean well, but the most frustrating thing of all for me is instead of fighting for something as good and culturally valuable as college sports, Americans decide to go "well, that sucks. guess we can't do anything about this". It's sad. Wanting to preserve history, rivalries, regionality, equal opportunity and ease of travel for student athletes is good, not Debbie Downer, and being against complete dishonesty and chaos is also good imo. Maybe, as happens all over the world, if fans realized they had the power and not the conferences and TV networks, this wouldn't have happened. But to you guys it's on people like me for being a Debbie downer. I'm the problem. Not dishonest boosters or greedy administrators, executives, and conference chairs.

You have literally said this 1000 different times in 1000 different ways. Like WRS said, we get it. The horse is dead, you can stop beating it now.
 
Have to think a big, a pg, and a wing becomes the order of priorities to add to the class of 2024. Recruiting bigs out of high school can be really difficult but would love to see Forbes land and develop one. Still holding out hope for Keller.

lighten up and find some other places to invest your energy. It’s just sports.

Yeah! Find a nice girl or guy and try to have sex with them in a very uncomfortable place...like the back of a Volkswagen.

You have got to stop man. If you want to put your thoughts here on NIL and all things relative to NIL, there is a designated thread to do so. Please for the love of God keep it off of the recruiting thread.

Dude Forbes has literally said himself that (mislabeled) NIL is the single most important thing in recruiting. It should absolutely be talked about here. It's the reason we're landing Juke and wouldn't have six months ago.
