NIL - Name, Image, Likeness

Interesting NIL story- Florida State football was ranked # 10 in the preseason, but has fallen out of the Top 25 after 2 straight losses to start the season.
They have one of the largest NIL budgets in college sports at an estimated $12 million - https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5745716/2024/09/04/florida-state-nil-team-budget-2024/

12 million is nothing compared to Ohio States 20 plus million. Day even admits that he told the boosters he needed a minimum of 20 million in order to compete for national championships but more importantly he needed that much to make sure they could beat Michigan. They raised the money in a matter of weeks.

Here is another case of a disgruntled player (football quarterback) who isn't getting the amount of NIL money he was expecting, so after 3 games, he is refusing to play any more this season, taking a redshirt year, and apparently planning on transferring. - https://x.com/GaryParrishCBS/status/1838807631319667151

This becoming a joke. They get free education and then complain because they don't get paid what they think they should.

If the decision was made based on the NIL money he'd be getting and the promises made were not kept, I don't see how that's on the student. This is just one of the many issues with having a 3rd party involved with paying the players. If they are going to treat these kids like professionals, then it should be handled contractually between the university and the student, just like all other professional deals are made.
 
Btw, did anyone see what his stats are through the 3 games he's played?
UNLV is 3-0, but his QB stats are not very good.

You are right. These entitled kids are getting into the adult world. They are going to have to deal with contracts, signatures, taxes, contract verbiage and agreements. They think they are just going to be able to walk up with their hands out and people are going to throw money at them

Same thing has been happening in the NFL for decades now. Why wouldn't it happen in the NCAA now that the kids are being paid and schools are competing for the players? This was entirely predictable.

Tommy, I agree but the word on the street is that after his start this season that the family hired an agent. Guess what happened next? The agent told him he was worth more then what he got originally and so they told UNLV to pay more or he was leaving.

Now there are other UNLV players who are quitting the team, redshirting the remainder of the season, and transferring. It seems UNLV was shorting multiple players on the NIL revenue they were promised. - https://x.com/MichaelAllen8_/status/1839022017493791160

Question. I thought NIL was not supposed to be associated with the Universities
 
How long before the football and basketball players demand collective bargaining and start striking in mid-season if they don't get the NIL money they think they deserve?
A mid-season, or pre-NCAA tournament strike by players for a team that has already sold tickets and gotten donations from fans could be devastating and cause chaos for college teams, not to mention cost those teams possibly millions of dollars in revenue.
