NIL changing college football because of players and families chasing the


Dec 17, 2021, 7:06 AM

the big $$$$ is very concerning. I really think this will lead to a decrease in fan attendance.
The cost of tickets, parking and merch will go through the roof to pay these big bucks to the players. I don't hold season tickets so when I am able to grab a good deal on tickets I do but ......

We have one at Clemson and are praying for more to follow the tradition but ....
College tuition is already extremely expensive even with scholarships!! (Non players)
It takes a family, extended family, friends of family and "go fund me accounts" for some now to help pay expenses. I don't even want to know what it will be next year or the years to come.
So this NIL and being competitive with the bigger colleges will really have a compact on everything not just the team.

I am not against paying the players but I do strongly believe that it really needs to have a cap on the amount and some rules to help all teams and fans not just a few with deep pockets.

I don’t see how NIL will make games more expensive. The NIL money is coming from boosters and businesses. If you’ you’re suggesting NIL will raise ticket prices - I don’t think it will, but I may be wrong.

I guess I was thinking of the coaching staff and trying to keep up with the nice new facilities to attract players as well... I stand corrected.
Thank you ....

Go Tigers!!!!

schools don't pay the NIL


Dec 17, 2021, 7:34 AM

prices will go up.. but it wont be because NIL

Clemson has no problem selling season tickets so it hasn't hit me yet.

Maybe I am missing something here, but if BOJANGLES is wiling to pay DJ5 a million dollars to endorse their product ,how does that affect ticket prices?
And if a big donor is willing to throw a couple of hundred thousand dollars to get a kid to sign a letter of intent why would that lead to a decrease in attendance?
Also last time I had season tickets, the cost of parking was already an issue .The higher your IPTAY dues were usually meant better parking. And ticket prices were going up every year regardless.
Of course while you mentioned tuition, you failed to mention the massive housing complexes that are up or being built. That has nothing to do with NIL.
And as to merchandise ,there is a near by store that has a replica Clemson helment with TL'S signature for sale ,or a replica jersey signed by Travis Etienne and even some Sports Illustrated covers of Hunter Renfro that those players can make money off .And none of them are even on campus. And if memory serves me, players can not sell team apparel that belongs to the University.
Maybe I am wrong.If I am please enlighten me.

I see prices going down.......


Dec 17, 2021, 8:25 AM

-product on the field will go down due to inability for Clemson boosters to compete amongst the "big money" schools.......that decreases demand...........prices go down.........programs hang by a thread while the top 10-12 richest programs/alumni/fanbases dominate college football.

Dec 17, 2021, 8:36 AM

Thanks everyone ... I stand corrected and even see a brighter ray of hope!!
I guess I was just worried about trying to keep our kids in the college of their dreams.. They work really hard trying to keep grades up so they can maybe get enough money by way of scholarships and grants to attend..It is getting very competitive out there especially in engineering and nursing.

I'm happy with players finally getting paid but NIL was sure the worst way to go about it. Even with a scholarship there are a lot of players that still struggle financially.

Players spend 40+ hours per week playing/training so maybe they should have just paid them whatever their states minimum wage was.

Iah…every bit of this is the fault and the greed of the schools, the conferences, the sport itself and the TV companies…they have simply had a free for all money wise while giving the workers the minimum…

Ponder this…if you had a child who was great at acting and starred in a movie that brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, would you allow, as a parent, that child to simply be paid a full college education as their compensation???

Or if they had a skill that many were making millions and even billions off of to be compensated with a full ride college education???

Nope, none of us would, we would simply ask that they be compensated according to what the market would bear.

The sport is taking in billions of dollars and everyone is getting extremely wealthy yet the stars are the players…the universities, conferences, tv companies are genius in that they still aren’t compensating the stars of the show, they are letting the general public do it for them through the NIL arrangements! They still have their workforce and their product and still get to keep all of the money that it produces. The anger at the players is missing the target and not the problem…the anger should be directed at the other entities that have controlled the sport.

This is a multibillion dollar industry on a yearly basis…and the people in control of the entertainment get to keep all of the money and have no liability to the workforce…and are allowing the consumer to pay their workforce on the side for them so they don’t have to share their money…it’s freaking genius!!!

Truth be told…college football should be set up like the NFL…it should be structured the same way from a financial standpoint with a cap and revenue sharing etc…the players should have a union and the NCAA or the universities should be the other side and tv contracts should be rewarded etc…

This is the only way to control it and keep some sort of competitive balance and soon enough it will morph into this anyway!!!

the younger ones who are in middle/elementary and unborn. It will eventually lead to fewer educational opportunities for those who have the greatest need. The sport was already heading for a decline in interest like MLB faced and the younger generations are not wrapped into it as a whole like boomer/genx. I see it with my own kids and their friends. The transfer stuff (further fueled by NIL) will turn a lot of older gens away from the sport. It's a double whammy. The decline will be similar but on a larger scale(due to multiple issues hitting at once) to how ACC basketball has declined since the 1 and done. Everyone in my gen that grew up watching ACC basketball new it was can't miss TV. You knew the players on every team because they were there for 4 years(or at least 3). Once that changed, you became disconnected and eventually disengaged. Not the only reason, but football gained a stronger hold as a result because due to the draft rules, guys had to stay 3 years. There was consistency among the teams that helped build brands and identity which folks could relate to. With guys transferring every year, that's pretty much out the window. Addin an unregulated market with no caps, there will be competitive imbalance and large # of people are going to just tune it off. Fed Legislation is needed to restore balance. In general, I hate legislation and think it's overused, but in this case, I think it's the last resort/only hope. It became such when the courts gutted the NCAA power and this was left to the states(or conf) to regulate how they see fit

The problem I see about NIL money is inequity on a team. When you have one player getting paid $1 million dollars for NIL deals and other key players getting nothing it will serve a a total program distraction that will inevitably effect performance.

Are the players workers or students? Whiners say they should get paid, but I do have to wonder if they have actually sent a kid to college and have seen how much it costs. Players get that for free....or pay for play.

Well under the National Labor Relations Board private school college athletes are now considered employees if they are under scholarship. Its inevitable that at some point this is going to be for all schools and players will unionize. Still wont do a #### thing to NIL. Nothing will.

Schools would first have to find a way to funnel ticket revenue to NIL via shady financial kung fu. Otherwise the revenue would be subject to Title IX lawsuits out the yin yang.
