In this episode of The Problem With..., we delve into the ongoing controversy surrounding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) in college sports. We explore the backlash from prominent coaches like Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney, examine Senator Tommy Tuberville's proposed federal regulations, and discuss the racial and power dynamics at play. As a military veteran who benefited from a free education, I reflect on the hypocrisy of denying athletes the right to profit from their talents. Join us as we unpack the complexities of NIL and advocate for equity in college athletics.
