But they are still getting their NIL money from OSU, right? THAT'S what I mean.

I think that the NIL money can come from both OSU's collectives and outside sources. It wouldn't surprise me to find out some the Ohio State players even have a NIL agent:

The role of a NIL agency is to help athletes navigate the turbulent waters of the NCAA, state, and university laws, protect their client's rights and livelihood, and represent the athlete during business and partnership negotiations.

In Hard Rock Stadium, but a CFP Championship Game, technically not the Orange Bowl.

Although that technicality won’t factor into fans deciding whether or not to make another trip to the Miami area.

Man, to me personally, this is sad. Hell, the Rose Bowl, the Granddaddy of them all, the game that was every Big 10s goal, has become an "also-ran". Same with the Orange Bowl. On many levels it sucks.

People bemoan NIL, the portal, and conference realignment as the things killing CFB. And while there are valid arguments to be made in favor of that take (particularly conference realignment, i.e. literally killing the Pac12), I personally believe that the playoffs have done more to ruin the "mystique" (for lack of a better word at the moment) of College Football.

Going to a bowl game used to be a reward, not it's viewed as a punishment if it isn't a CFP bowl. And with playoff expansion, regular season match ups that used to hold so much weight, run the risk of becoming essentially meaningless. It used to be if say, Alabama lost to Ole Miss, it would practically ruin any chance of winning a title that year. Now, it would hurt it, but there's so much margin for error. A team could lose 3 games next year and still be in the NC championship race. To me, that's not college football. That's the NFLjr.

People whined and cried about "settling it on the field" championship-wise. But you NEVER are going to settle it because someone will say they got fucked out. What the fuck is wrong with winning the Big Ten, and then going to the Rose Bowl and winning that? Who gives a flying fuck if Alabama or LSU does the same in the SEC and Sugar Bowl? Makes for debates. But noooooo, gotta have "playoffs" so Joe Rich Fuck can go the the "big game" and it will be like the NFL. Fuck that. I'm getting real tired of this playoff shit.

And when the B1G has the top 2 finishers without divisions "go to the playoffs" and The Game becomes "meaningless" to these same dipshits because they play one week later, I hope they're happy.

    • Projections that are more accurate are coming out now. Most have OSU going to the Orange Bowl against either Louisville or North Carolina State.

    One question: for guys "opting out" of the bowl game, how does that effect their NIL deals? I say, no play-ee, no pay-ee

    What a let down. The University should opt out. Louisville and NC State that’s our comp. That’s another reason for changes.

    It would be interesting to know what the contracts for the NIL deals have about "opting out" for bowl games. Either way "play" or "opt out", you have to honor the contract.
