Nebraska AD Tells Fans to Not ‘Romanticize the Past’ Regarding NIL

It’s no secret that Name, Image, and Likeness being introduced into amateur athletics has completely changed the outlook on how sports are operating in the present, and will operate in the future.

Recruiting and roster retention is the main area where NIL resources are allocated as high school players are now looking for certain financial stipulations before even considering playing for a program at the next level.

There will eventually be some oversight on NIL that currently isn’t present, but this is here to stay.

Nebraska‘s new athletic director Troy Dannen addressed this new era of student-athletes getting paid in a conversation with Andy Staples of On3, and he made sure to let fans know they need to get used to this new aspect of college sports.
