    Pete’s message is correct but he’s going about it all wrong. Give me $1 million NIL deal as an 18 year old recruit and I’d be built for life.

    Pete was doing right by the kids and putting them in the NFL to make the REAL built for life big bucks. Fuck you Pete for not winning more with all those NFL kids, but still.

    NIL - even a million bucks worth - 'taint really built for life unless you are a cheap skate and incredible with managing your finances.
    Sure is a good starting point. I wouldn’t have minded starting off with a treasure chest in life. Imagine no student loans and being able to make your mortgage actually manageable. Even an Uber driver or 711 employee could manage.
    College football players have student loans?

    It would be funny if we found out that Karen's job is not actually that high leveled and she makes less than the janitor

    All I’m getting out of this is that Karen looks fucking hot in those skin tight jeans


    This is like what? A Seattle 8?

    Seattle 7. Butter face is only a half point deduction.

    The jeans comment is still valid. I admit the whole thing looked a lot better on my phone than it did later when I looked again on a bigger screen.

    I'm just waiting for the next obvious development in the NIL story – the circle of sharks that will surround these kids once they start getting checks.

    I get the feeling folks believe we're helping make these kids move up financially in their lives but it will be temporary. The reality is 90% of them will leave college flat broke or in debt still. You put that much cash out to a group of people inexperienced in handling money and the sharks will smell blood in the water.

    I mean, how many pro players don’t manage their money well? And they have more of it with a better financial support structure with at least 3 years of college under their belt and will do anything they can to win the game.
