[QUOTE="Billygoat91, post: 872281, member: 4766"] I couldn't agree more. I think we try to contrast ourselves vs. uGA and other factory schools, but the thought that we haven't participated in this stuff to some degree is crazy. Every school broke the rules, some more than others. NIL just gets everything out in the open now. The thought that all of these players are "amateurs" in respect to football and basketball has not been true for 40ish years. NCAA football is a de facto minor league that the NFL does not have to pay to upkeep. It is done with tv deals, advertising money, public funds (for state schools) and student tuition and athletic fee's. You gotta tip your hat to the NFL because it is ingenious. Cash in on the draft combine and event while not having to pay minor league salaries. Of course there are many players at the P5 level that are not being paid, but you better bet that the elite ones have been getting illegal benefits for years. [/QUOTE]
