[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 816532, member: 2426"] I have not made any assumption that athletes have it worse. I am not crying. What I am saying is that it makes no sense for the NCAA to prevent them from doing things that can make money. I do agree that NIL will be exploited and misused by factories. Dunne created an audience BEFORE attending LSU. Why should the NCAA prevent her from putting a picture of a clothes company or a perfume company on an Instagram post of HER followers for ad money? She could have made millions of dollars before attending LSU, but she didn't. She gave up millions of dollars in order to join the LSU team, that indicates to me that she had a desire to compete in college gymnastics. What justification do you have for such NCAA rules that she has to lose millions of dollars in order to compete in college gymnastics? If she were being paid for gymnastics competitions, then I would understand the loss of amateurism. If teenage boys like her, and pre-teen girls look up to her and she uses that audience for ads, I don't understand what that has to do with her amateur status. I am not saying "poor-little-miss-Dunne". I am asking for a justification for taking millions of non-athletic dollars out of her pocket as a condition of her playing an amateur sport. You can take digs at me with "poor-ol-us" type language all you want, but how about just giving me a justification for preventing a high school student from making non-athletic money on their own as a condition of participating college athletics.
