Recall those who worried that NIL was the start of a slippery slope?
They were right. 😀
BEST in my opinion would be for College Football to be affiliated with the NFL. Not any educational institution.
The proposal — outlined in a letter to Division I colleges today — would allow schools to enter into name, image and likeness (NIL) deals directly with their students.
The NCAA lifted its ban on athletes profiting off NIL deals in 2021, allowing them to earn money from outside parties — but not with colleges. …

This is Elizabeth Reid, the most artistic 90s US floor worker you may never have heard of, from 1993 US Championships. She was later a standout at @SunDevilGym and you should try and find her NCAA routines too. She's lovely and deserves to be more known. pic.twitter.com/SiyOB1EiA2
For many, many gymnasts the opportunity for a College scholarship to gain their education is a fantastic experience. Indeed, the vast majority of gymnasts I’ve spoken with are happy with their decision to compete after Club.
BUT it doesn’t work for all. I’m particularly concerned about risk of serious injury competing so many times each season in NCAA.
Female gymnasts say college was supposed to offer a reprieve from intense club programs. Then they arrived on campus and found more of the same.
I believe that story is not behind the paywall.
Schools identified in the article:
University of North Carolina
LSU
Utah
Penn State
Clemson
Utah State
Eating disorders are common for many young women, especially college athletes. But studies consistently find female gymnasts are at a staggeringly high risk, with a 2004 study finding 42 percent of gymnasts and other elite “aesthetic sport” athletes, such as figure skaters, had disordered eating habits, compared with 16 percent in sports like soccer or basketball.
Certainly I believe the complainants.
I also believe that many of their teammates had positive experiences with the same coaches. Both can be simultaneously true.
