Can't blame them get the money while you young and your brand is big because blessings like this don't come often, and sometimes just once in a life time.

[FIBAEXECUTIVE]

What a lot of people don't realize is that when those kids finish college and can not make a impact at a pro level bye bye endorsements think about the top tier women and mens pro basketball players that get all the major endorsements they are far a few, how many basketball players get major endorsements if they are not playing in the top levels of professional basketball, NONE

[Quanziam]

Anybody against this deal is supporting corporate exploitation. These kids are not regular. They already generate revenue for a brand than most adults. They accomplished more than most before completing school. Give them some credit.

[AtalixZero]

Barkley is a hater. Jealous because some college kid is making more money per year than he did.

Also, who the hell was he talking about "we" when he when he said we can't pay these kids. I don't agree with it, but society is dumb enough to idolize athletes and throw money at them, who is he to say who should get it?

[josesoriano]

Everyone should be making money. Good they can stack bread incase they don't go pro.

[stevesnodgrass]

I say no more scholarships. College athletes especially the scholarships student were already getting paid.

[SpicyChikenDlux]

It’s our fault for putting so much importance on sports and dropping so much loot

[ak]

So, first college? Now high school! Are you fucking kidding me! The problem is that high schools are not legal adults.

[suryanaray]

In india day by day fear of gujarat type communal clashes democracy in danger peoples are feared UNO intervention is necessary please protect the secularism in india and FBI investigation is necessary please protect the peoples in india

[larryclemons]

No one should work for free or the promise of a better future. Sounds like a slave to me

[chriswalls]

My new idea nils in Indiana, mass, Minnesota, Utah,

[patrinaherringshaw]

I can see a little of both sides. Look at a lot of athletes who started out younger. And are nowhere today. Have they been able to make money back then they would have a nest egg now. I think really you have to look at why they are where they are now. What reasoning...

[jerrylee]

dont get me wrong good for them for getting paid, but this to me is just evidence how society manipulates its own rules - finding ways to “bend” the rules to the point why have them at all.

but yah more power to these kids, sad how many previous college athletes were punished in the past for the very same thing.

[Sharyk]

Is an college education needed if you’re making 7 figures in high school? Learn to invest wisely.. When you go to college you won’t be the star athlete so the endorsements walks away?

[burnaboyz]

Bout Time Get paid Folks get paid colleges been gettin way to much money for them not to be able to pay Players So Salute To NIL Game changer These Schools cant Take every penny Off Of these players 😂😂😂

[emozie]

A lot of these players do not know financial literacy. I be focusing on grown that money and loving simple so down the road. I can buy a big house and. Nice car but not put my self in the hole down the road.

[roneified]

This whole thing with allowing college athletes was founded under auspices that the school, NCAA and the conferences were making billions of of the backs of these kids. And here we are, where the schools, NCAA and the conferences STILL aren't paying them a dime and instead saying someone else can go pay them. It's a sick joke when the university is asking fans to donate to NIL when it's the fans who are barely making it living paycheck to paycheck.

[geekhan]

fine do away with the portal and no more dam scholarships let the NIL PAY for there so called college education since most are 1 and done babies

[pleasemisguideme]

The biggest issue is they are already using money as a lure for high school kids. No longer is the dream to work hard and become good enough to go pro and make big money. Now a kid just wants to be good enough to make it to D1 college. A disgrace.

[LukeP-ii]

Calling for NIL reparation's for all collegiate athletes, who played prior to NIL. These poor kids only received a Full Academic Scholarship, Free Room and Board, all the free food one could ever want, free gym membership with personnel trainer and popularity on campus. We demand 30k for each year played, plus a Honda Were taking it to Congress, they'll fix it.
