Lane Kiffin's comments last week about the current state of NIL were spot-on, says Rivals_Clint:
stated that the current state of NIL - especially the pay-for-play model some programs utilize - is a"disaster." He essentially added that college football has become the only major American sport where players can opt into free agency twice a year and leave for the highest bidder if they choose to do so.
Kiffin was spot on with his statements as the current NIL landscape has little transparency and even less regulation. We knew there would be growing pains with NIL. We were also told that the NCAA would learn from both the successes and failures of the current NIL structure and fix things over time. But, little has been done to fix anything NIL-related thus far and the problems only seem to be getting worse.
Programs have made money off of their players' image for years, with many star players leaving college football without a penny to show for it only to not make it professionally while their program laughed all of the way to the bank. That being said, the current trajectory of NIL could eventually destroy college football and something needs to change. I don't have all of the answers, but I strongly believe the first step in improving our NIL process is transparency.
