But I still support Alston payments. 6 grand max for academic success isn't huge money. For perspective, that's like $500 a month over the course of a year unless a walkon decides to put it towards tuition

That's not a problem and it's not hurting sports
It's the SEC starting QB being offered a million to join a Big 10 team that's ruining it. That's just fucking lame

You win by recruiting good players, developing them and retaining them. Alston and Collective will play a role
I don't believe anyone of this board questions WHY we have to do the nil/collective/alston thing. What pisses fans off is the fact that we HAVE to do it to stay competitive with our peers.
