    Hold on, hold on. 

    I spoke specifically about the AJ Storr situation. If that is true, "give me a million bucks KU", yeah that's greedy. I have no issue with Townsend transferring. Kid is good as shit, IMO. 

    ok well, i lost this one. yah.

    Ah, but there's the rub. They aren't employees. They are "amateur" athletes. The intent of NIL was to allow student athletes to be compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness. If a university was selling jersey's with the player's name for example. Or to allow social media savvy athletes like Livvy Dunn to make money from her image. 

    Instead, you now have bidding wars for non-contractual players who are being paid to play. That isn't healthy for college athletics. 

    "They call [Townsend] Mr. Oakland here, but … the only reason he's got another year is the COVID year. So, he gave us four years. He's got his degree," Kampe said. 

    "He's going to get offered so much money and I can't [match that]. We've got a 'Keep Trey Townsend Fund' going from our [NIL] collective, and we might be able to get $40-50,000 in there, but he's looking at $250-300,000 from what I'm being told. So, it's going to be hard for me to tell him to stay." 

    I get it. my problem does not lie within the players chasing money. When someone calls it greed, I just hope they are not hypocritical.
