College football players group talks with Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren, demands include share of revenue​

Penn State QB Sean Clifford is part of a players group advocating for more benefits from the conference​

Sharing Big Ten Conference revenue with players is among a list of demands recently presented to the league by a college football players advocacy group CBS Sports has learned.

Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford has met with Jason Stahl, the executive director of the College Football Players Association. The CFBPA is a player advocacy organization formed in 2021. Stahl is a former faculty member at the University of Minnesota.
 
Heath Kline asked Shane if he's run into any NIL issues at SEC Media Days this week and Shane said he's had someone ask him if he will get a new truck like Rattler.

The problem I have with NIL is not everyone gets the same thing, which makes it potentially divisive in a locker room.
 
It's going to completely ruin college sports. We're already seeing it play out. Whatever they're given is never enough. It started out that they just need a couple of hundred dollars a month stipend for "spending money" a few years ago to players signing 7 figure IL deals and now they want revenue money.

It never ends, it's never enough. Goodbye college sports.
 
I don't necessarily blame the players for wanting a piece of the pie, risking themselves while coaches, universities and conferences all get rich. Money corrupted this and many other things long ago, but it was really inevitable. It will go on, but will not resemble what it did just a few years ago.

Such is life, some will always want more, to be more, to strive for more in all aspects of life... Get it while you can, many sacrificed on the college field with millions on the line and got very little in return...
 
Yep.

Yep. The majority of college players never sniff the NFL , nor an insane NIL deal. Coaches and schools take in millions.

I would consider a paid for college education and all that entails for an athlete to be pretty good compensation.

And some people feel that minimum wage with overtime is a good paying job... Some think 70k is an awesome paying job... Some think 150k a year is a dream job... Some come to school highly regarded and don't work out but some walk on and get drafted, such is life...
GG Jackson is a Gamecock....SAY AMEN!!!
 
They just need to quit calling it NIL. Nothing that is going on resembles what they had in mind when this rule was put into place. We knew it would not. They opened the box now they have to learn how to live with it and navigate it. I do believe scholarship money needs to be deducted at the rate of NIL deal. Not really fair to paying students to give scholarship money to athletes that are potentially making millions. I know at times is pisses me off to see them spending $100‘s of million dollars on football coaches stadiums etc., while the conditions of some of the dorms are really deplorable and us parents, who have chosen to educate their kids, are still on the hook for all time high college tuitions.

^^THIS.

I think NIL will evolve/devolve even more at the end of the 2022 football season when some programs don't the bang for their bucks.
