re: Cam Johnson's decision to come to LSU.

"We wanted him to have a fallback and have other interests and other things as part of his life," Johnson's father said. "We said, 'You know, you may meet your wife at LSU or some of your best friends are going to be from college."

This is one the great tragedies of NIL. A lot of these kids are going to miss out on what college is all about - sports star or not. Finding lifelong friends, meeting your girl, being part of a big family and getting a degree. That's what happens when it's all about the money. And it's a shame.

That said, I'd have gone and lived on an island in Siberia for 4 years if you paid me $1MM annually as a freshman
