Been reading a lot about Ohio State's $34 Million Coaches and NIL money dump…
Reading some of the responses on this venerable website regarding a belief that schools can attempt to put "guard rails" or measures in place to essentially keep costs down… IMHO… Ain't Happnin'….
The genie is out of the bottle thanks to the larceny and arrogance of the NCAA and their member institutions…
Instead of taking a common-sense approach to player comp decades ago, they arrogantly dug their heels in and created rules that were laughable at best…
You would think an organization as politically connected and clued-in as the NCAA was would have been able to read the societal tea leaves and been able to develop a compensation schematic that would have worked for both players and schools…. But NOOOO…
They let their arrogance write a check their FAFO butt couldn't cash…
In turn they got a 9-0 butt kicking in the SCOTUS…
Now, no player is going to let them put those "guard rails" in place…. It will be a free for all for a long time…
