Why go into the portal toward the end of the season, ranked in the top 10 at 20-3 and having wrestled just last week? Injured? No one wants to get Burkwick-Bono'd. Yara and other Ivy competitors will be the exceptions to the new rule. You are going to start seeing kids enter the portal Every. Single. Year. even if they don't plan to leave. Coaches could leave at any point and could recruit over kids at any point, now the scales are tipped closer to being equally balanced. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the coaches have some more power than the athletes? Or should the athletes have more power than the coaches i.e. when they want to wrestle, what weight class, or how hard the practice is?

Shouldn't students at a Harvard or Stanford get NIL deal for helping make those top universities? What about the students in say the top Civil Engineering or Computer Science program, should they get NIL, maybe free food? Most of the commercials they show during a football, basketball etc contest featuring the university are showing academic programs and students. Where do these students featured in such go to collect their coin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the those studying CS and Math, the agents also collect the undergarments the ladies shower them with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - they are called scholarships to a top rate college that places them in internships that set them up for life with an annual income of 6-7 figures. I am all for it.... if you can figure out how much money the university gains by showing a commercial of a classroom with the guy in the background typing on his laptop.

But who made the kid in the back on the laptop show up or maybe they gave him a $10 Chick-fil-A coupon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wrestled against athletes from Canadian college teams and also know someone who went to university in Canada because he wanted to wrestle for a freestyle team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get what you are saying it isn't the same, but yeah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference between athletes and acadmics - now athletes get a scholarship AND paid. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
