re: NIL allows for unlimited roster sizes

Why would an athlete care about getting a scholarship over cash money?

That's irrational.

How is that irrational? Tell me what you would prefer

You can go somewhere where you can get free tuition/room and board/meal plans, and make NIL on top of that which you would get to keep for personal use

Or

Go somewhere where you make NIL but you have to pay your own tuition/room and board/meal plans, probably using up all of the NIL you make to pay for that

Also if you're an NIL donor, would you rather have to pay extra NIL to one player to cover those costs to keep them on the team or would you rather the school pay for it via scholarship so you don't have to? Keep in mind this player would be a bench player/depth piece that you're most likely just trying to prevent going to another team, presumably a conference rival because the best players/starters will still be on scholarship.


The math just isn't mathing here my guy.
