NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft
Preface: I am not opposed to NIL as originally intended (signatures, video game royalties, etc) but absolutely hate the collectives-based cheating. Your analogy doesn’t quite work, however, as Dell (or pretty much any other student making money) isn’t being subsidized by the university up front. And I don’t mean the scholarships for athletes, I mean the brand, equipment, facilities, transportation, meals, training, medical, and everything else that the university- and by extension, donors and taxpayers- provides to them in order for their name, image, and likeness to matter. The university profits from this, of course, but football players are not just comparable to everyday students, even those who have scholarships or fellowships. Again, not opposed to NIL in theory but the comparison wasn’t quite equal. -

NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft
Playing college football is not employment, but they do get free education for their participation. Band members, team managers and cheerleaders don't get that. This demand for pay and constant roster turnover is driving fans away. The players have killed their own hall of fame invites. -

Any free agent signings?
Houston has been in better conferences during that period and got more media. 29 in 20 years is still shallow end of the pool.
