Todd Talk: NIL, NCAA Rules, and the Incentive Revolution

A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.

My friends, it feels like a lifetime ago, but when I played college football at a small school, we had to sign papers promising we hadn’t violated any NCAA rule. And back then, those rules covered just about everything. Asking a coach for 75 cents for a vending machine snack could land you both in trouble. My, oh my, how things have changed.

With NIL, the game — pun intended — is different. Not long ago, top players rushed to the NFL as fast as possible to get paid. Now many are fighting to stay as long as the system allows. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was granted a sixth year by a state court, and Montana linebacker Solomon Tuliaupupu just received a ninth.

That’s Economics 101. When incentives change, behavior changes. Every single time.
