Your third string long snapper isn't getting much here. What if NIL monies are pooled and doled out so they have walking around money, not millions, and then get a pension at the end of their playing time? It seems like a bidding war now, because it is. Obviously there are some very deep pockets among boosters who are willing to shell out to buy an NC, and as we noted, a season short of an NC is insufficient for these teams.
I dunno, seems really broke to me. I suppose these elite players have always had "ulterior" motives for going here or there, and leaving here for there later. Dunno, takes some of the enjoyment out of the game for me.
