unspoken for decades pre-NIL?
Pre-NIL, the big schools that made the NCAA money ran the show, and could pay the athletes hundreds of thousands of dollars under the table. Whenever schools like Mizzou or Ole Miss or UNLV tried it, we'd get cited for some BS tutor or recruiting violation and put on probation. Tne NCAA could keep its foot on us. Meanwhile Bama and Ohio State's infractions would get swept under the rug. Even Roy Williams would get the NCAA to ding Norm with penalty, even though he was doing the same things.
Not sure about you, but I invested alot of dollars and time in watching Mizzou sports since the 90s rooting for a championship. But it was never going to happen, ever.
