The speaker is making their case. And college athletes should be paid because they work their butts off. Some start at five years old. And to make it to the college level, which under 1% of people do that, it's insane. It requires immense dedication and immense work in the classroom as well because you cannot get an athletic scholarship without having good grades unless you're NAIA. But mostly players getting paid is in the NCAA Division I and II, less Division III. But if you're a guy like Jeremiah Smith, who is a really good athlete and you're not getting paid anything, that is not great because you won't have anything to become good for, if that makes sense. Like in the NFL, players are good and they get paid. In college, players are good and they might not get paid. It just doesn't really work out like that. It also incentivizes them to come to your school, which is good for the transfer portal. Especially Power 4 schools that aren't really great, like Take Kentucky, for example. They're only spending $20 million, and they're one of the best teams in the nation right now. That's because of NIL. The speaker is making a statement about a topic. The speaker is making a statement about the topic.

Oh yeah, they do lose money thats for sure. I just think me being a Kentucky fan whole life I'll have some from of bias. But NIL I think is a good thing, because you're paying athletes for their work. It really is just a no brainer for me.
