Some thoughts on the NIL. Although I think its right that players profit from their likeness, there are obviously going to be some programs who can take more advantage these rules. The Ducks could be right at the top, which is good, but overall I don't like that the playing field will be even less level. I'm sure they will change or add rules as it goes, but here one of my questions. What is going to stop a Nike or other companies from signing kids to large contracts that would allow them to walk-on rather than take up a scholarship? This would allow teams to sign top prospects to the walk on program and sign more players every year?
My son was a walk-on at Oregon so I think it would be great if companies hired walk-ons. Maybe even as a group. Of course they would not get the KT type money but it would be great to see these kids getting a couple grand a month, or whatever to help them out. Maybe doing group commercials for local companies or whatever. Would like to see this happen , but would not like to see it go the extreme of my question above. Even though the Ducks would be one of the haves, it would be really bad for at least half the college football programs
