UK has a bunch of NIL players, some making close to a million, Does anyone think that makes for a good team environment. Wonder what NIL costs South Carolina or Alabama? These problems started with NIL and COVID folks. Would as a player you want to out play any player getting big NIL money? I just think when you get paid and can go through the motions, you will. That seems to be how Cal is coaching at time and it appears the players have caught the same disease. The
NIL makes for Jealousy

Every team has NIL . Cal coaching was bad before NIL
Georgia and Bama football are doing just fine with NIL.
I agree that NIL will cause issues for certain teams... not so sure it applies to this one however.
Team is poorly constructed with a washed HC that constantly lies to the fanbase.

Yeah that NIL just ruined GA football last night didn't it?
Does it? Georgia football seems to not be affected at all.
Don't know if you're aware, every team we play has NIL

No, I don’t think this is a factor. We aren’t the only team with players making NIL money. It’s almost beating a dead horse at this point, but our problem is Cal.
Oscar making 2.75 million no one else close to that number will make a lot of guys jealous especially the way CCC handles his team.
Well I get where your coming from even if nobody else does so far who has commented so far on this topic. I don't think it necessarily has to cause jealousy just because NIL but take a guy like Oscar who makes that 2.75 mil and it was already suppose to be his team coming back this year. I think this whole NIL and transfer portal is just bad for team chemistry. On and off the floor! I bet those guys or a big part of them talk **** constantly behind each other's back and these guys on this ball club don't seem to enjoy playing together. I don't know about if it has anything to do with jealousy but I believe these guys have cliques among themselves. Also, sometime ppl, coworkers, teammates aren't always as happy for the man who makes the most as they want you to believe. Hopefully, it's not like that though.
Also these other posters are trying to compare a football roster vs a basketball roster! It's a lil bit different when you compare what guys playing basketball get versus what football players are getting.
This is a problem if you have the wrong type of players in the program. Every job stricter in the world has certain people making more than someone else. It’s only a problem if someone doesn’t understand or can not handle this.
Football is offering a QB $5 million to enter the portal and come to their school.
NIL may have a negative impact impact on a players drive. Instead if busting it to make it to the NBA or NFL to make money, some players will see the easy NIL money and think it will just keep coming. Long term planning is usually not a high priority at 18. At the same time it will motivate some to keep it coming.
A coworker and I were just having a conversation on this. I'm not very familiar with how the NIL works; Does Cal get to dole out NIL money to the players all year, even during the basketball season, from game to game? If so, there would have to be guidelines on that right? Otherwise, I could see it causing all kinds of envy and jealousy within the team, weaponized, etc.
NIL is definitely causing problems on this team. That's mostly due to players who are selfish and immature, and a HC who is clueless.
