it won't end untl the stadia are half full, and the tv ratings sink - not going to happen, at least in my lifetime - people are just too hooked on college sports, and the powers that be, ADs, ESPN, etc, know that, and
will just keep milking it

NIL isn't so much a fiasco as some players have to realize they don't have the marketing power as players with more experience, accomplishments, or in higher profile positions. A reserve offensive lineman making a six figure NIL is what is wrong with the process. It reeks of pay-4-play which isn't allowed nor should it be. Some players have more value or draw selling merchandise, signing sessions, or promoting a product. A ten percent increase in tickets with proceeds to go directly to players should be cause for an NCAA investigation. You don't raise money for NIL, they is either a market or there isn't.
