Yet not for the rest of the free world.
Almost everyone in the free world makes decisions that create their scenario. Just like those who were deployed signed up for it. Doesn't mean they can't be homesick.

Do I care he's homesick? Nope but he's allowed to be. Just petty that some feel some kind of joy in it but...

There's nothing wrong with guys being paid but it's how the system exists now because people refused to pay them back in the day when they could have controlled it. The players (especially football/basketball) are worth more to the program than the education they're receiving. That's just reality. If schools would have simply agreed to pay the kids what they deserved it would all be different now. The greed of the schools created this--now the players greed has complete control and the programs no longer have control.

Think about how ridiculous it was that a program could refuse to allow a kid to transfer to a different school--that's exactly the type of control that ruined this.

I have read elsewhere that we are in the upper-middle class for football NIL - likely top 15-20. This article proves College football is spiraling out of control. If he is being truthful, this is just sad. Our entire NIL plus revenue share budget is $30m. We’re never going to offer the amounts cited in this article for top talent, and this is why we have to play Moneyball to a degree with recruiting and transfer portal.
Uh, no it's not a reason to play Moneyball like that. It's sick. We have enough sickness of the same type in this country. Change your tune. And now condemn me.
