I am sure some of the reported NIL numbers are "real". I strongly suspect lots of them are not. Unfortunately the "average fan" has no idea which are which. I am sure she got paid. I am sure she got paid very well. The exact number doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me is that any idea of amateurism in college athletics is gone forever. None of the proposed "solutions" even pretends otherwise. Hard to root for laundry when those wearing the laundry are "all in" on rooting for the Benjamins.
