Sports Talk Radio Pushing Toxic Mentality For College Sports

A listener calls in to discuss the toxic mentality that sports talk radio is pushing regarding the NIL in college sports. College athletes can now get paid for their likeness and receive endorsement deals. Some talk radio hosts are pushing the idea that this needs to be reigned in immediately.

This is a Big Al from Long beach.
Big Al from long beach. What's on your mind?
Big Al yeah long beach California. Yeah. So I apologize. I'm gonna divert to some other area. I was listening to the sports radio last week. Dan Patrick. Was interviewing a guy by a fellow by the name of Sean Salisbury. I don't know who he is. but they were talking about this name image and likeness development in college for sports things. Yeah, and it's just interesting to me because I've kind of noticed as I listen to sports radio they kind of did a bunch of this content last week. And it's automatically assumed. That they're calling it the wild wild west. and it's assumed that this has to be rained in and has to have some regulations put on it.
Listen to pro football talk if you want a different opinion. They don't agree, they don't, they don't perceive it in that way.
Well, what I've heard and you know listening to local sports radio here in southern California. It seems to be accepted and maybe that could just be the market that I'm in. That they have to like and I have to reign in it. It's sort of like perceived as obvious. And sometimes I notice I don't know this is what I want to get you guys' thoughts on. I noticed that in sports because it kind of cuts through people's sometimes in some ways people's like assumptions and their maybe their politics. So like if it affects their team then they're like well obviously we gotta have regulations here. Do you know? Or things like drafts where the worst teams are helped the most. You know and this seems to be very obvious to people. Right because it's like oh well if I have a terrible team and I don't get a top draft pick then my team's always going to be bad. But then when you go to you know the real world and you're like oh let's we've got these people that are you know having a hard time we should give them extra assistance you know it's met with like what are you talking about we can't do that's insane. right? So just wondering if you guys have some thoughts on how we could kind of use people's way of seeing sports and apply that maybe to politics. and get it to cut through their world views. and kind of how they perceive things. Does that make sense?
Well, I know that Matt does this on his show a little. and I feel like Matt and I workshop one segment every Thursday to attempt to do this. We don't talk about it in advance. but like I would say that's something we're in and Bradley helping us behind the scenes too right? But can I address the first thing that you said about the NIL stuff? So for people that don't know recently, it's been allowed for star college athletes to seek endorsement deals and money outside of there you know their performance. If they're a high-performing college athlete they can get endorsement deals.
Or appear in video games which was a big thing. Previously you could buy NCAA football 2007 or whatever and all the players would be like quarterback 18. Even though the stats and likeness would be definitely of that player.
