NIL is college football’s new reality, and small schools are feeling the brunt of its inequalities.

I spoke to two coaches, a GM, and a respected NIL lawyer to find out how we got here and how small schools are adjusting

@PurpyNFL They gotta trade your son. Too much of a liability for a good baseball team.

Maybe one day I’ll write a story on the life of GAs, but I think this point is so similar to unpaid internships in journalism.

Don’t take one unless you physically have the means to do it, please. “Paying your dues” is an antiquated way of thinking.

[Matt Grossenbach @MattGrossenbach]

A lot of head coaches in this position do wish that they could pay their GAs.

But be wary of the head coaches that say it’s part of “paying your dues” or “earning your stripes”. Those guys also came up in a different era, and why should the younger coaches also have to suffer?
