It’s pretty self explanatory unless you benefit from it. In other words if you have a victimhood chip you probably benefit from what I’m referring to

First, I do agree kids should try to get their money - although the way NIL works today is NOT the original intent. Name, Image and Likeness was originally a group of former athletes going after income they felt (rightfully) earned off their personal likeness (see Ed Obannon and EASports). Now it’s simply the Wild West and kids taking cash/perks from the highest bidder. Their actual name, imagine or likeness has NOTHING to do with it.
For the record, your “$10M” business example is a terrible comparison to what’s going on in college football. In your example, a business person would rightfully expect a bonus (or a cut) for actually earning revenue for his company. Of course he would - He helped make that money, so he/she deserves a cut of said revenue. Also, I’d expect a business person would have an employment contract outlining what he was owed, and one that could be used to determine what he/she was owned. We see none of that in NIL payments now.
Now we’ve got kids expecting cash UP front, not based on earning a single thing for the schools. How about we pay the kids for team wins, bowl appearances, and personal statistical achievements. That’s more like the business you used.
If Sluka was given a false verbal promise, that sucks for him, and he has every right to leave. And if he is truly worth “$100k”, he’ll get it elsewhere. But hope he chose wisely. My guess, he fade off into the sunset and we don’t hear much from him again. Sounds like his team closed the door on him real quick, so maybe his assessment of his value is far from true value.

The victimhood double standard drama that isn’t there, it’s a myth like Elvis and JFK hiding on a island.
Pointing out his Jaden’s ethnicity and acting as if there is a double standard. Which honestly there might be, it’s just not the way poster seems to think. (In society in general)
Why? Could it be because I’m tired of the victimhood card being played constantly? Or is it because I think players should do what they feel is best for them?
