$600 and a copy of the game is shameful for college athletes. Let me explain why: NFL players are compensated ~$30,000-35,000 per year to be in the Madden video game. Assuming there are roughly 3,000 players in the game, that’s well over $90M. Carry that to the NCAA video

Getting organized into a players association gives you protections from this type of debased behavior and the culture that produced it. You can have a healthier workplace and love football more with a players association. College football does not have to be this way.

I have zero reason not to buy or play the game. Ultimately, the players are being compensated what they have deemed to be “fair” to continue production of the game. As someone who fought for NIL rights long before it became a thing, I don’t think they got what they could’ve or

What is happening now is healthy. We're finally having a conversation about what players are worth to appear in the video game. That hadn't happened yet. We say let the market decide: real negotiations with players + royalties.

So, @RepGusBilirakis is interested in hosting another (the 9th) hearing on Capitol Hill concerning #NIL . He says a priority is for current athletes to testify. Let's hope they aren't hand-picked by the NCAA/conferences to promote a restrictive agenda.
