NIL with bigger third-party deals keeps the market honest鈥攖op stars earn their worth, schools don't bankrupt their non-revenue sports, and athletes build real brands beyond a paycheck.
Pay them salaries. Schools and conferences cash the checks, so they should stop outsourcing compensation to booster chaos and treat elite athletes like the revenue drivers they are.
Stop pretending they're amateurs and cut them a check. Universities rake in billions off their labor, so pay them like the employees they are.
Colleges cash in billions off top athletes, so pay them direct salaries instead of shady NIL workarounds. Players deserve real paychecks, not booster handouts.
