    My thoughts are simple (and not to say they would amount to any change or improvement)... If you receive NIL benefits, then (fully) pay your own way through college and give the free ride to some other kid that deserves the opportunity. It's a start and I think a fair gesture.

    I love your idea and it makes a lot of sense, but the last thing college football is worried about is being equitable and fair to every player. Big time college football is about two things only - winning and making money - at any cost. How many times have you seen Kirby or Nick raise a national championship trophy for having the highest GPA or most athletes to graduate? To be honest, coaches could care less if a player/recruit can read and write, as long as the player can help win games! One day, hopefully soon, a player or former coach is going to do a tell-all about the real world of college recruiting and you will be shocked. When I say nothing is off limits, I really mean nothing is off limits. College football is one of the most corrupt businesses in the world, period! I love your idea of the players receiving NIL money helping other deserving players get a shot, but the truth be known, it's not a high priority to those in charge - although it should be.

    I think it should depend on how much the player is receiving to expect them to pay the full tuition.

    players that get NIL losing their scholarships is a bad idea.
