NIL


Oct 26, 2022, 8:14 AM

I really hope that the dumpster fire that is TAMU (and to a slightly lesser extent, The U) begins to rein in some of the absurd NIL purchased classes of recruits. While I could watch Jimbo go down in flames all day, everyday, it is overall terrible for the health of college football to turn these schools into meat markets where a bunch of 5*s get bought, they come in, some making more $$ than the coach, and wild the whole heck out leaving whatever program looking like a hotel room the morning after Motley Crüe checks out. When Bama was obliterating teams a few year's ago it was because they had a culture that went beyond $$. Clemson has a family culture in which all the players are brothers in the struggle. Both of those teams would run through brick walls for their coaches. Jimbo's team would just smoke up and get "serviced" behind brick walls.

Overall, NIL has been terrible for college football as a sport, great for college football as a business, and largely left the fans out of the equation. I'm hopeful that these dumpster fires of programs will reverse that course a little bit.

What exactly has NIL done to harm college football? You do understand that NIL is available to all athletes, men and women, in all sports. Texas A&M signed 6 recruits last year that were considered 5* on paper while Georgia signed 5. This year A&M has 3 commitments from 5* guys. NO team will ever sign 5*s across the board and from what I have seen through 8 weeks this year, college is alive and well.

Don't think there is a problem with NIL in and of itself, though I would like to see it more regulated. To your point abou AtM signing the same number of 5 stars as Georgia, UGA was coming off of a national championship and it was understandable. AtM's 5 stars were straight up due to NIL. Alabama, UGA, Clemson, OSU, all know how to coach and manage that type of talent and the egos that come along with it. Jimbo has now proven at 2 schools that he does not know how to manage that kind of talent and that you just can't buy elite talent to be successful. I like the quote from Miracle from Herb Brooks about why the russians were so successful at hockey in response to the russians beating the NHL all start team. He said "the russians take talent and use it to develop a system." (Ok not a direct quote but you get my point). All the talent in the world is useless if that talent cant be used for the betterment of a team. Again with that talent there has to be management and Jimbo is not that guy, and that will be the problem with certain situation with the NIL. But yes I agree college football is still thriving.
