That’s a different take.I take it you speak from a position of experience having been a collegiate athlete?
Also, tell me why Joe Sophomore is able to start a t-shirt business and sell t-shirts while in school but Giorgi has to end his collegiate athletics career to be able to do the exact same thing? What's the difference?

Maybe let’s stop using the get off my lawn gif every time we don’t like someone expressing a view that many others have. It’s effing insulting. If y’all want to talk for endless pages about NIL, maybe create a thread for it instead of clogging up the recruiting thread.View attachment 9197

I come on here to find out about recruiting....what I get is arguments about players getting paid. I want names/how many stars/if Kentucky is their dream school and if they are a banger. Loyalty should start a new column FOR SOME PEOPLE called: WHO CARES! People can then take their "players get paid" talk there. I'm 72 and just had triple by-pass...I don't have time to read about who gets paid what! I want names/how many stars......
There seems to be no shortage of supply of athletes willing to take the deal; play sports get a free education, personal training, etc.I couldn't think of a more grossly inaccurate analogy. A kid spends years developing his skills, most of them are playing both in high school and hitting the road for the AAU circuit, and you say it's a luck? And you want the millions/billions they generate from their work and effort, none of that should go to them, but instead to the beauracrats who run the sport? I have a hard time understanding how someone thinks they're entitled to distributing money that way. The free market certainly disagrees.
Holy crap! A recruiting comment on the recruiting thread!I think TyTy had Kentucky in mind when he decommited, just my opinion
Free education?
If this 'adult' is of the ability to make money off of his/her likeness out HS, then no law stopping them from heading to a different country to make that money. I mean, they are adults after all
I'm guessing it's going to go quiet on here for a few hours while everybody is out searching for Instagram accounts (or in my case, trying to figure out what Instagram is.)College cheerleaders, since they are not sanctioned by the NCAA, can monetize their Instagram accounts and make 6 figures from it without penalty while still competing and attending school.
NCAA athletes who have done that have been penalized with ineligibility or forced to quit their sport.
It's an antiquated, unfair system. It won't be simple, but change is needed.
No matter what rules the NCAA applies...athletic departments and boosters will find a way to work around those rules to gain an advantageA student who receives a full academic scholarship to U of I can still work on the side as an intern or even full-time employee without losing his/her scholarship or opportunity to attend school. Why would an athlete not have the option to also earn money while on scholarship?
Many of us here suffer the insufferable guy without resorting to personal attacks.With all due respect, it wasn't what he said, but the way he said it. HE was the one who "insulted" those expressing a view about NIL's. I actually think his actual idea about starting a new thread for NIL's (albeit, not calling it "WHO CARES") was a pretty good one.
Yes it should. It should be either or IMO. Does the science major get to keep all the money he or she makes on important discoveries they make while in college? No they don’t. They pay they own way and the school still gets the bulk of the profits so why are athletes supposed to be treated so different?

Dang. That stinks. Think we can get him to recommit once we have a full staff in place again?AJ Storr decommit. A little surprising but not shocked...
Yea I do. The important thing is that all the 21s and transfers are stayingDang. That stinks. Think we can get him to recommit once we have a full staff in place again?
Noooooooo!!!! Hope he still considers usAJ Storr decommit. A little surprising but not shocked...
It seems unlikely that he would decommit now if he had any intention of coming to Illinois. He's pretty obviously looking for greener pastures.Dang. That stinks. Think we can get him to recommit once we have a full staff in place again?
