I'm not sure that NIL in and of itself is the issue, if a college player can make money by endorsing a product, fine. I think that the bigger issue is the NIL collectives that are now getting involved in the recruiting of players and enticing them to transfer, especially now that the transfer rules are so liberal. It is becoming pay for play and a player can transfer almost any time that they want, if they get a bigger NIL offer from one of the collectives. The colleges may need to have contracts with the players that sign on to play for them, not unlike contracts professional teams have with their players. I also think that if there are not changes to the college system there will come a time when very good coaches will either retire in their prime or leave for the NFL rather then deal with the morass that is college football.
