It ($$$$$) directly impacts my feelings towards both Edey and PU.
While I could never root for either, if Edey makes zero in NIL and is POY I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him, and for PU as a program.
If he rakes in $2 million I dislike him and them as a program even more than now.
If he’s the highest paid player in college, it’s reason enough for me to root against him the hardest.
Caveat, if I had a child in the NCAA I would say make as much money as you can. But, it doesn’t change my feeling that trying to out Kentucky the slime programs of “college” basketball, while legal, doesn't make it any less dirty or palatable.
But, it is what is is.
“Money wins”.
The only good thing is that it is now easier to know who to root against. I wish it was even easier. Imagine Edey with patches on his jersey from all the sponsors that bought him? The bigger the bucks, the more prominent the patch. Find me a jersey with the name of just the school, and no patches, a true underdog I can root for. Until their players get poached in the portal, that is.
