Impact of NIL on ND: I think it's a wash. Most teams that are any good are going to offer a lot of NIL money. My guess is that the money is probably pretty equal at the bigger football schools, ND being one of those. With the portal being what it is, players can come and go and still get paid. Impact of NIL on me: Hate it. I had 3 kids that I paid full price to get degrees from expensive name-brand schools, including a Masters at ND. I work hard for the money, so hard for it honey, but no one treats me right. I HATE that players can make hundreds of thousands of dollars and still get their tuition paid, while hard-working families pay full freight for their kids to go to the school. I'm a little hot under the sports collar about that. I get that it's the way of the world. I just wish the generous alumni who fund NIL would instead fund scholarships. That wouldn't help the team, but it sure would help a lot of people. The team and school can find a way. Individual families may not. -

As a person who used to watch Aussie rules football late nights on cable, I say get that guy on the team! -

It evens the field for ND, but a bunch of have-nots don't stand a chance. Few non-power 5 kids will stay with the school that developed them. ND and the like will be the beneficiaries. It's hard for the NCAA to walk it back at this point, but it does seem to need a level of oversight.
