Like if a player realizes their team won't make the CFP 8 games into the season can they opt out of the rest of that season's games because they are meaningless opportunities to get a career-ending injury? Will participation in bowl games become a condition of NIL money? If bowl games are meaningless and not worth playing in, which games during the regular season are meaningful?It will end when they are declared employees and their contracts under the CBA require them to play with the appropriate compensation and insurance safeguards for injuries.Who is going to declare them employees?

the schools unless they can get us fans to keep paying them via NIL
Quote from: Skipper44 on December 30, 2023, 07:07:05 PMthe schools unless they can get us fans to keep paying them via NILSo in this scenario do the NIL boosters just now donate to the AD again? I don't really see how it benefits the kids to organize considering how freely the money flows right now.

I don't really see how it benefits the kids to organize considering how freely the money flows right now.The money isn't really flowing that freely though. We had two draft opt outs, Sinnott and Brooks. How much NIL do you think they were getting? I bet you it's way less than what the NCAA president proposed that players get paid under his new model.

You can see the weight he's put on, looks pretty broad in the chest

in the end, EMAW will always win.
