I'm currently asking ChapGPT if it will send a T800 back to 1995 and take out Ed O'Bannon.
A lot of it is his fault. But I don't pin it all on him.
NCAA should have evolved in the 80s. It was apparent that boosters wanted to pay players and support this 'fake' NIL market created by that. So truthfully, they wanted to 'gift' potential players. And maybe 1% would get true NIL. They should have started to allow it then, and instead, they doubled down and did this death penalty shlt.
Then a decade or so later, they are making video games with players' image on it. Talk about hypocrisy. Then the schools start doing the same. Then come the coaching salaries. Then come the TV deals.
And coaches are allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want. And not to mention most any student can transfer whenever. But even still, with legal NIL, I think we probably could have avoided the immediate impact transfer situation had they done the above.
