This is all very interesting because it seems like the purpose for this NFT deal was to set a recruiting precedent of the ability to sell NIL product before committing. Having that show which fanbase is more willing to spend money on player NIL product.

Good job to Clemson for showing out!

Unless you are younger that 30 years old, it can neither be explained nor understood.

Maybe this is just business or I just dont understand

But I can't help but be less than enthusiastic about seeing Trevor in tiger paws as he squeezes fan bases for money as he dangles a carrot as a possible commit.

This is one of the new items that are making me lose my enthusiasm for my beloved college football.
This is simply a way to be bribed into going to a certain school. In my mind - illegal recruiting. I know it is now legal - but that does not mean I think it is correct. Players to the highest bidder, the largest fan base, the most corrupt school.

The transfer portal is another nail (the way it is currently set up). Again, players can go to the highest bidder.
Over signing, while done for many years, especially in the sec - but the portal has made this worse.
Paying players to come to school like many schools (ok, companies that support the school) is wrong. What NIL was intended to be - for benefit of the few - is now being circumvented and all players of some teams are being paid.

I still believe that college should be for education, fun, team, loyalty, etc. that getting a free ride is worth something. That for 98% the old commercial of “going pro in something other than sports” means something. That a degree from a good school is better than a paper mill school. That graduating is a special day.

Yes, I am old and old school.

Too late, but I would love to go to a no sports scholarship model and let it normalize. Students that play well in sport would get the scholarships, and it would equalize over time. True “student athletes”. Yes, there would need to be a minor league for football for the players who do not belong in college.

Just venting.
