Good stuff, Brody. Unfortunately, today's people, are me, me, me, and now, now, now. That makes the NIL very important. And have to assume that every football player coming out of HS are assured (in their own mind), that they'll be standing on the Draft podium one day. So why not grab the loot now. Would also bet that they piss it away before they're 22, but that's another story.

sooo back in the day Boomers would have foregone the money and let the school keep it? Been happy to walk up hill both ways to dear old U?



Come on man.

Every human who has ever lived is motivated by self interest. Taking the money now+ development+ intangibles that matter to the kid is their own personal calculous of what the best decision is just like any actor in a market.

Some will piss it away, some will not just like any other age group handles money.
