Yeah, that was a pretty naive statement. Most people could visualize what the NIL would become pretty much from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're both hitting the nail on the head. It seems to be leveling the playing field, and the dirtiest programs appear to be affected the most. Alabama fans I know are pissed about NIL and the portal. They claim it has ruined college football. Maybe it has; for them. Now boosters of programs that may have restricted their desire to "help" before, can participate in collectives. The bagmen and other nefarious characters are less emphasized, which is good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leases end when a player's eligibility expires or they choose to transfer." I think they figured out how to keep players from transferring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've far outpaced inflation. ~25 years ago Michael Jordan earned about ~$30M per year, a record at the time. Now the merely decent players are approaching that number. Very good but not great are earning far more. I expect salaries to increase over time but they ballooned. I think you'd find similar in the NFL and MLB. $30m in 1990 is over $70m today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I know this article is all about football, but this is where the discussion is happening and the points made in the article are valid for basketball as well.
