Pity the 16yo high school student:  Should he study for his math test, or keep lifting weights and take the pills someone said would help?  All he has to do is look good in high school sports to get the big bucks until he's old, like 21.


How will parents face the challenges?   "We lived in poverty but we wanted big things for our little Jacky.  That's why we slipped HGH into the cereal."

At the 20-year reunion:  "Look at Sandra, she split a Nobel Prize with her co-worker at a very young age.  But, remember Norm?  He got more money than that before his eligibility was up.  Poor Norm."

If this society didn't already seem to value show over education and progress, it seems to be tumbling down that hill right now.


(As I understand it, the $22M cap doesn't include what we call NIL at this time.  Canady's NIL is not being paid by Texas Tech.)

I believe all NIL payments are being made by booster funded cooperatives, not the schools.  
Do we have enough boosters willing to cough up 20 or 30 million a year?

What are professors going to start thinking when they are teaching students who mostly haven't done anything of note, but are making more than they are?

How big is the deficit for the football portion of the AD? Can we actually be making money?
