With all this money flying around, and everyone can get a bunch of $$$ wherever, and if history/tradition doesn't matter, aren't girls going to be a thing?  These are 18 year old boys, right?
But not your random, anonymous floozies....
With the parallel-to-NIL eruption of the naughty online girls industry, I'm talking name girls.  Girls they've heard of. 

You're a 19 year old athlete with the same insane financial offer from 5 name programs.
But one of them is having a 19 year old thirst trap in your DMs, one that you and your friends know of....

That seals the deal, no?

Cringe, yet believable.

Far be it for me to paraphrase Mdot21, but that is the original downfall of man.

How hard did the AD laugh when writing this statement?
F'ing joke. "College" sports are really starting to suck.

Surprised it hasn't been commented on or posted...but a Alabama judged ruled that a pro-player (basketball) could come back to UA and play for UA College basketball (University of Alabama FWIW).  

So, does that open the flood gates for all the other tried-to-go-but-didn't-make-it players to come back and "finish their degrees".  ?

Probabably.

Not to mention, I expect the NCAA limits on eligibility (5 years or whatever it is) to all be challenged and struck down regularly as well.

Without a CBA agreed upon by the players, there's really not a legal way to limit the duration of eligibility and participation in college sports.
