South Carolina had a player that opted out at halftime yesterday
Have the bowl games like the basketball tournament in Vegas earlier this season that paid out the winners in NIL.
Instead of giving the entire payout to each conference, maybe give a portion of that payout to each participating school’s collective? Perhaps the winning school receive a significant higher percentage of the payout?
This likely wouldn’t deter the 1st rounders/high draft picks from opting out unless the bowl payouts go up quite a bit.
Maybe there’s not a significant amount of money to go around after travel expenses and the conference splits it 18 ways. 🤷, but the OP is right. Until there’s something in it for the players and they’re not penalized for not playing, we’re going to see a lot more of it.

Nick Emmanwori’s halftime opt-out a swerve that stings, even if USC knew about it
It’s another stark reminder that college football’s evolution can often feel like betrayal.

This is all so dumb. The people doling out the money are the ones that need to set the boundaries. If it truly is pay for play, then the people cutting checks need to set parameters that require players play in every half of every game. It's not a player problem today. It's a big money problem.
Geez. Is it necessary to pay these players for every little thing. Why don't we pay them for showing up to practice or walking to the library. They are getting paid to do a job. It is not for Name, image and likeness. There is no way a college kid is worth 3 million to a car dealership. They make between 1 and 2% on a sale after costs. At the low end (1%) they would need to sell 300 million worth of cars or around 6000 calls a year. Aint happening. Car dealerships make their money on insurance, financing, service, etc. but people aren't going to go to a dealership for service because of an affiliation with a college player.
It's definitely pay for play and opt outs should be required to payback whatever monies they received if they choose not to play in a game.
