... This is the first of what could become a regular thing for athletes that may not have a future in the NFL and want to maximize their college football earning potential.
As I thought.
There isn't an easy solution to this, but the fact is what prevents any kid before a playoff game before a big moment from saying, hey, I think I deserve more.
And until I get I'm not going to play or hey, you told me I was gonna get certain things and I haven't gotten them if I don't get them now, I'm not going to play....
Strap in, gonna be a wild ride.

It's been over three years since college athletes have been able to be paid above-board, a ruling that has permanently changed college sports. But as Scott MacFarlane reports, the change -- and the money -- hasn't been spread around equally.
I don't like this. Maybe nothing can be done about individual endorsement deals, but do the schools need NIL caps and mandated sharing of cash with other sports?

I think caps would be good, but then the "cap" used to be zero and some still got paid. But not all sports are equal, by any measurement, and can't be made so.
