0:00 Casey, I definitely agree with your point.
0:02 I think there's both pros and cons when it comes to NIL and student athletes.
0:07 I think on one hand, definitely I think the players should be uh represented and uh given their fair share of what they earn for the team.
0:18 I mean there's players that have turned around their football teams and weren't paid for it previously and now I think it's fair game.
0:29 So I I do agree with that side, but I agree with your point on the transfer portals.
0:36 I think some of these kids are throwing values of loyalty and those out of the window when they're making decisions.
0:43 I think instead of the education aspect or the team aspect, I think a lot of players are prioritizing just the money and the checks that they're receiving.
0:55 So I think I think a transfer limit would be a optimal move to limit this just because players would have to make more rational decisions in what they choose and how they choose to possibly change their trajectories.
1:15 I mean, at the end of the day, it's student athlete first and I think this is a necessary change to make these athletes start uh prioritizing their education first.
