Since NIL, notre dame recruiting has improved. We are quietly productive with NIL. Freeman and ND has played the game right.
so, NIL = overall positive for ND
also - ND / NCAA should not benefit off the NIL of players who provide an immense profit (direct and indirect) to the school. It’s no different than ND providing a full ride to the top .01% student. ND benefits overall from both scenarios more than they pay.
it’s good business.
if someone disagrees, then vote with your viewership. It’s the only way to change
i feel it’s fair. Football is a highly profitable, violent, life-shortening sport. Players should be compensated fairly based on the benefit they bring to the school
Does it upend the sport that we love and create uncomfortable change? Yes…
Is the net benefit in favor of the schools? Yes, otherwise they wouldn’t be participating
