Should the NFL supplement portal payments?

The question for the board is should the NFL begin to supplement payments to the college football programs to pay the players? It seems like the NFL is getting a free ride on this deal. It’s an unrecognized farm system. It would seem like the NFL should at least give $1 billion a year to the universities to pay these players. Any thoughts?

I like the idea...all NFL teams pony up and college teams be given money based on whether they are power 5 versus the others.

This, along with a cap on the amount of money any one player can receive during a given year, would go a long way to bringing parity to NIL mess...

I think it's a bad idea. If there were any influeance that the money would have, and it always would, them the league which owes us no favors would affect things negatively. I especially want Jerry Jones to stay the hell out of our game. He would create influence. And so would other owners.

Maybe colleges should give money to high schools?

And this gives the NFL more money to promote virtue signaling.
