Missing the obvious: how much did Pitbull pay?
Edit: $6.2 million. Which for ten years...? Idk, that seems reasonable for someone with too much money.
Player allegiance is to their team most of the time, not a school, not a geographical region, not a fan base. If a leader who was a substantial part of what made the team "the team", then players should be able to go search out a new team.
Coaches contracts have managed to work this out. They stick out their contract or they pay (or get their next school to pay). Schools keep coaches to end of contract or they pay.
I don't want to see players limited in ways coaches aren't. They only get a few years to play college ball, while coaches get decades. Let the players take their best shots. It's crazy now because it's new, things will settle down after a couple seasons. Maybe NIL contracts start looking different to encourage players to stick around 3+ years.
Yeah, they're a farm system. Same as Power 5 is for the NFL
We're just getting closer to admitting that truth and paying the athletes for their work in the minor leagues, er, I mean college. And maybe someday soon we'll come to grips with how outrageously oversized the minor leagues are compared to the majors.
Yes. At the time I'm commenting, 1 out of 2 questions on the "women's" question is about the gendered nature of the question itself (50%). And 2 out of 11 on the "mens" (18%). The dataset has already been "polluted" as you describe, by the design of the questions.
