Arkansas' Athletic Director Wants 10,000 Households Across The State To Give $100 A Month To Get Them In The NIL Game

So the entirety of the interview with Arkansas Athletic Director, Hunter Yurachek, is very good. The article hits the nail on the head how the intention behind NIL has completely missed it's mark, and it's the wild Wild West out there in which teams are being bought instead of players being paid their market value. Am I crazy or was the plan not simply to just give them money if fans wanted to buy their uniforms and allow them to appears in commercials and in advertisements for companies that wanted to market them? Now we've got these thousand person collectives pooling their money together to offer millions of dollars to transfers and high school kids that haven't even taken a snap of the Senior Year yet. And the numbers are so all over the place that no one knows what's real and what isn't, which makes it even harder to barter with these kids and their families about how much they should be paid to come get free school, lodging, food, and to get to play D1 football on the game's biggest stage? Is it true that DJ U is making $400,000 to quarterback the 0-3 Florida State Seminoles.....?

Sorry, I'm going off the rails here. The point of this blog was that the Arkansas AD proposed a solution to the apparent NIL problems down there and that is to have 10,000 households add a $100 bill to their monthly expenses and the Hogs would be right in the thick of things. Folks, I don't like this idea.....I LOVE IT. People will say that the Tysons and the Waltons and all the other rich as fuck Arkansas families should fit the bill, but that's a lot to ask of them, despite how much money they may have. No, I don't want corporations writing million dollar checks to 18 year olds. I want the great people of the state to set aside a tax each month in order for their school to get the best players this country has to offer. And if you don't want to be apart of it, you only have yourself to blame on Saturdays when Auburn jams the ball down your throat. Which they just might, this Saturday after the Barstool College Football Show.....

That's what we in the business call a smooth transition. 

Anyways, final point: NIL sucks. I hate everything about what college football is becoming with NIL and the transfer portal and conference realignment, and it's still the best product in sports. Do you think we'll ever go back to the way it was? Probably not all the way back, but something has to change, right? We can't have 18 year old kids making more than the Assistant Coaches at the school they play at....

You think he's able to tell DJ U that he's ass and his DBs are picking him apart? DJ U would just need to rebuttal to get your bread up, poor boy. (Yes, I'm aware he played 11 seasons in the NFL. That's called a joke).
