Why I disagree with the NIL rule

 


As a lot of people know, the NCAA recently passed a rule stating that players will be allowed to profit off their name and likeliness.  To most people, this is a good thing, a big deal, finally NCAA athletes will be able to profit off of their names and make extra money for college things like that.  Me, as someone who was a high school athlete and has been a college football fan my whole life, as someone going to college,  I think this is wrong.  To me, selling your name and letting athletes make money.  In a lot of ways, I think it ruins the sport, because after all, college sports are not about the money and glory things like that.  Thats what pro sports are supposed to do.  College sports are supposed to be about passion, not about pay, or having a job, things like that.  In my opinion, college athletes are paid in scholarships and college aid, and how players do in and on the field to earn that money.  With the NIL ruling, college athletes are not going to be to focused on money and scholarships and care less about what happens in games because they will be worried about sponsorships and things like that because they did somthing against the terms of their contract.  Its going to ruin the passion and tradition of the sport which is why I disagree.

Rob Gronkowski comes out of retirement to play for the Buccaneers

The buccaneers already have one of the most talented receiving cores in the NFL right now.  With guys like Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, O.J Howard and Cameron Brate.  With the edition of Gronk, who knows how much better this receiving core will be.  I know that this season has not started yet.  But I think the Buccaneers are a playoff, maybe super bowl caliber team under the right circumstances.  But there is still a lot of things that need t...

MLB talks about possible solution to have a season

Major League Baseball might give use something to watch after all By: Heston Curry 4/8/2020 After recent talks, major league baseball officials have had talks on a possible solution accepted by high ranking health officials to play at least part of the season. Major League Baseball has come up with a possible solution to play at least part of the major league baseball season in a undisclosed stadiums without fans in Arizona.  The season if it does happen will be a shorter season with possibly a 14 team expanded playoff . While there is still plenty of uncertainty on how this solution will play out, there is still hope that this could be the first step to establishing at least some sort of normalcy in these times and most importantly, give me at least something to write about for the first time in weeks. Now back on topic, the solution is not quite 100 percent yet, but how it would work is all major league baseball teams will travel to Arizona t...
