Just got this email. I don’t recall this type of outreach in the past so I’m happy to see it. Unfortunately, it’s on a Thursday night and weekday traffic is tough.
I can see your logic for wanting two tiers but I think I’d rather continue the good fight against the factories than try to be the “best of the rest”.
A few stats that I just compiled in support of your argument (assuming Wikipedia and my math are correct):
1). We haven’t entered a game ranked...
Why? This is closer to what happens in the real world compared to the way NIL works now. Is there some kind of NIL “minimum wage” that I don’t know about? Maybe I’m way off but I would think a lot of players get zilch even though they put in the reps.
The skill positions can’t do anything without the big uglies. They all produce but I haven’t heard any of the big uglies making 7 figures. I believe the current way NIL is handled is terribly unfair.

Calvin chose Tech because of academics. His mother was in education so she wanted him to have something to fall back on in case football didn’t work out. He could’ve played for any team in the country but came to Tech that was 7-6 the year prior to his arrival.
