    That teams are outright buying expensive new cars and giving them to their players just to lure them to stay?

    I believe I read somewhere that it is a lease but I get what you are saying.
    Do any BU players have anything like this?

      I am pretty sure it is a lease but what did fans think was going to happen when the teams are allowed to pay the players. They have ruined college sports.

        It's only going to get worse as the NCAA will no longer even attempt to police or enforce the NIL rules - https://www.sportico.com/leagues/col...ee-1234768948/

            Don't know about this deal but a lot of them are by the month or maybe 3 or 6 month deals. The player resigns each time the contract is up.
            BU needs a local car dealer that supports them like they use to have.
            Velde Buick GMC use to be a big sponsor and before them there was a Cadillac dealer in Peoria. Who does it now?

              Ha, LOL, many here are way too young to remember...
              that we did have a local car dealer who secretly loaned cars to players' families, then NCAA used that fact to hammer Bradley with sanctions, even tho all their evidence came from disgruntled former players and a vendetta to nail DV.
              Meanwhile the same NCAA let other programs slide even tho they were proven to be shipping cash to recruits -

                I find it humorous that anyone would be surprised by this. I mean we had coke and hookers at Louisville in 2013, far before anyone was thinking about NIL or schools paying players directly in the open. Now it has to be off the charts crazy.

                  yup - and the head coach involved in that "coke and hookers" scandal was a guy who is now in high demand earning $ millions

                    I love coca-cola and fishing. Don’t see the problem.

                    I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

                      Here is another facet of the NIL system we will surely see more of. The University of Tennessee's annual Orange and White Spring Football Game is today, and their starting quarterback, Nico Iamaleava has skipped practices this week, and notified the coach last night that he will "hold out" and not play again until they give in to his NIL demands. The two sides have apparently been attempting to renegotiate his NIL contract, but the negotiations broke down, and somehow the story got leaked to the press.

                      Iamaleava reportedly has a $2 million per year NIL deal that he signed out of high school a year ago, and he is coming off a redshirt-freshman year.
                      But now he sees other SEC quarterbacks getting bigger NIL deals for twice that amount. So he is holding out and won't play again until he gets a better deal, reportedly in the range of $4 million per year.

                      A short time ago this morning, Tennessee resolved their problem. They are moving on from him at quarterback. Good for them.

                          Unbelievable greed. The smaller schools don’t even have a chance and if the NCAA doesn’t police it where will it end.

                              Not unbelievable greed. Just business. College football is one of the biggest sports in America. Why wouldn't the players start acting like pro players do and negotiate their pay? This is entirely predictable.
