Now they want to be employees?

An advocacy group is trying to classify student athletes as employees trying to get these full tuition, full room and board, N.I.L. reapers even more money I guess. Fine they do realize that in the state of Florida they can be fired at will? I’d love to see some prima Donna driving his $100,000
Car be told see ya we don’t need ya but, sadly somebody would just take him in a second.

I used to love college football over the Pros but, not if this pay me the most bull crap continues. How many of you took years to pay off your student loans like I did? Meanwhile these players are making more in college than they would in the Pros.

I wish the portal went back to wait a year and NIL needs to have a limit or just take the big NIL’s and make them a special conference as the little guys and ethical schools won’t be able to EVER compete with them.

College football had a great run. Maybe semi-pro will be interesting but I think it will lose a lot of the regional passion that led to 100K seat stadiums.

Anytime anyone can make a lot of money legally then I’m all for it.

Honestly whether you call them employees or not, that's about what they are. I'm not sure how you categorize the players makes that much of a difference on a day to day level. The truth is schools own what these kids like like 70 hours/week, everything they eat, etc. It's really interesting to see the power shifting in real time.

That mentioned, these things can go to far and will swing back a bit...or some rules will be set up to protect the schools a bit more. We'll see.

With what the Texas schools are doing it's going to be real hard to beat these schools out for a championship in the coming years. And we know Georgia and Bama will go big there also just like they did when it was against the rules.

Be careful what you wish for. As an employee you can be fired if you don't do your job well.

WIth NIL being legal and accepted, ethics are no longer an issue. Or an excuse.
