How about making them payback their tuition, food and board if they leave in their first two or three years of committing to play at a university.

Even better. Add another layer. How about not allowing them to transfer unless they have attended their classes as required and have passed their classes and carried a minimal grade of a C.

Otherwise, this becomes our hired guys are better then their hired guys. This is getting stupid really fast.

How about not letting 18-22 year olds dictate the way you feel about college athletics.

Haha. Ya we should limit individual Liberty bc you don't like certain behaviors that are legal. Sounds gud

Now you're just trolling OP…go away and take your faux rage envy with you.

Becomes?

That's been college football ever since the first non-degree seeking "student" was recruited to play.

It'll never happen, but I've always felt like they need to curb the immediate returns on their NIL income.
I'm good with them "getting theirs", but put some constraints on it, make the degree matter, and don't lose sight of what's happening in that locker room.

Example:
-Let each player get a stipend, unilateral amount.
-Then track the individual earnings. Yes, it's possible.
-Keep the funds for them in an interest bearing acct.
-Give them viewing access. They can drool over it all they want….but you can't touch it until you finish your degree.

The strings:
- you transfer? you forfeit that money, and start over wherever you land
- you go pro early? Congrats! We'll give you +5 years to still finish that degree, because it's still important
- you don't finish your degree? for whatever reason? Sorry bud, no dough. Money gets redistributed back thru the team
- you suffer career ending injury? Hate that, truly. We'll still honor the scholly and stipend. Here's also the payout from the insurance policy we had in place for you too. Now finish that degree, and the rest of the money's still yours too.
- you quit, or get kicked off team for cause? Sorry bud, money redistributes thru the team

Head coaching change?
- should you transfer, you get your NIL, whatever was yours, up until the point you entered portal.

NIL is year to year just like there scholarship

You people dying on this hill on 5 separate new threads a day realize that there are regular students on full scholarship that transfer every year, right?

Why aren't you coming after them too?

Because acknowledging that destroys their popularity with the virtue-signaling internet tough guys they are preening to???

I'm sorry, if you don't understand the difference between "than" and "then", I'm not sure you're qualified to come up with an alternative solution to free market capitalism.

FYI

You should probably get off a sports message board when you use grammar smack. It's a pretty pathetic look.

If only you could get all the rich schools to agree to all the rules that you come up with. Cause you dang sure are not going to implement an NIL contract stipulation only at A&M that hurts your recruiting. Like deferring the $ based on performance while another school is offering all the $ up front.

This is so stupid.

If you are truly a fan then, when NCAA opened up Pandora's box and let them start getting paid, didn't that automatically mean that 18-22 years olds (with the rare exception a 27 yr old like Myles Jones) would dictate your feelings about college athletics. I mean I don't see many 40 year olds playing these days, do you? I mean aren't most of them 18-22 or are you just saying don't be a fan of college athletics anymore? Why as fans shouldn't we still want to be fans? This really makes no sense to me.

Maybe you were trying to say, don't let the decay of society and the fact that NCAA F'd everything up by opening up Pandora's box, sway you from being a fan of college athletics??? IDK, is that what you meant?

It seems like even the vengeful daydreams are impotent compared to how much better off the players are these days.

It wasn't just for us.
I'd liked to have seen something similar in CFB before they opened Pandora's box.

Also note that I opened with "it'll never happen, but…."
