The Chron story also describes that doing those things - keeping up an online presence and dealing with companies for endorsements is stressful and time consuming.  Just what every busy college athlete needs!  I do not at all begrudge the players making some money with NIL.  I do think it adds a problematic layer to their experience.

As I mentioned in the Brain Kelly thread, the athletes aren't going to tolerate being exploited very much longer. College athletes performing for their schools for free is like cooking meals for someone who never pays you for the groceries and instead feels they are paying by encouraging you to become a professional chef. Just absurd.
