If a player makes enough with their NIL money, then they should have to pay their own tuition. This is only fair because the school gave them the opportunity to make the NIL money by offering them a scholarship to play at their school. The player has the talent to get a scholarship and earn NIL money, so if NIL money is greater than scholarship expenses, then the player should have the scholarship expenses deducted from their NIL money.

1) With the "Transfer Portal" available to anyone that is not satisfied with the way thins are going for them at one school, they can leave at the drop of a hat to go somewhere else (to greener pastures, etc)
2) And the NIL in place
3) Therefore there should be NO scholarship money.
You want to play for a certain university and there is an open spot on their "roster"... come play, and as Catfish stated, " the player has the talent to get a scholarship and earn NIL money . . . the player should have scholarship money deducted from their NIL money."

I always thought that if athletes wanted to be paid they should be paid a flat rate. The catch would be that tuition, room and board, books, etc wouldn't be covered. The athletes would have to pay all of that out of what they being paid. Any NIL money would just be extra.

What about the grunt in the interior line saving (with others) the NIL's a$$ and making him look stellar? He's not getting NIL money while the ego pumped star is. No potential for conflict there, right?

I wonder if this erosion of amateur sports will eventually spread into the high school ranks?
