It's not the NIL in my opinion. It's the unlimited penalty-free transferring in conjunction with zero oversight over NIL. If players still had to sit out a year, you wouldn't see them leaving good situations to chase a slight pay increase.I’m rarely right, so when I am, I have to announce it. I called this NIL bullshit before it all started. I didn’t see any way it didn’t turn into a giant clusterfuck that would destroy the already flailing sport.
Yeah, I agree that it’s the combination. Every offseason players are unrestricted free agents with no restrictions on the contracts.It's not the NIL in my opinion.

One prominent high school coach told Scout on Wednesday even with the sit out rule in place he gets calls from college coaches every November and December asking if any of his former players are ready to make an early move. If this goes through, I feel sorry for him and his cell phone bill.
Since Tuesday afternoon, I’ve talked to more than 25 assistant and head coaches and not one was in favor of the potential rule.
“It would be the wild, wild west,” one high major assistant said.
“That’s scary, man,” another said.
“It would turn into one of the dirtiest recruiting periods that you've ever seen,” Indiana coach Archie Miller told Scout.
Every lay up and handshake line would turn into a recruiting pitch. Every interaction with an opposing player or parent would be an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a potential move.
“You'll have guys talking to your players when they are in your gym,” Miller added. “Coaches will recruit players right after games and now you can go directly to the source, it would cripple teams and programs.”
"I think it's ridiculous,” Xavier’s Chris Mack said of the potential rule.
“There's a constant narrative on social media about the mass exodus of kids and how it's appalling so many kids opt to transfer,” he added. “So now we want to make it easier to transfer? I don't see any logic in that line of thinking. Doesn't surprise me, but it's a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. I transferred years ago and I sat out a year. Did me a world of good. It's not the negative people make it out to be."
What little NBA caliber talent Bennett had is now gone. Losing Dunn and Beekman is brutal
We get them away only next year. I’d love to hold them in the 30sUVA may be a .500 team next year. I definitely think 2025 will be Bennett’s final season.
