[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 927524, member: 1776"] It's been a business for a long time, but it has really exploded in the last 10-15 years. I have become alot less invested in college football and basketball over that time as you could see the bifurcation coming where just a handful of programs are truly competing for championships. I used to live and die by how GT FB and MBB did, now, if they lose I don't get that upset - I just get on with life. If they win there is a little momentary excitement, but it doesn't last very long either. NIL was not supposed to be a pay for play program (which is still against NCAA Rules), but that is what it quickly became at the highest levels - especially with the transfer portal with the free transfer coming online at the same time. Interestingly, this has not really been a big issue for college basketball - it has largely been bypassed by NIL and shoe companies are still the primary driver there. I'd probably have more interest if there was a break in college football between those who just want to drop any pretenses that the sport has anything to do with a University and those programs that want to operate under a more student-athlete model. It would be easier to get into if you knew you were competing against other programs that had similar ideals. [/QUOTE]
