There you go. There you go.

NIL, nothing personal word of the day is NIL as in NADA, as in ZERO. Also, as in name, image, and likeness.

Name, image, likeness, college sports, college athletes are starting to get paid eventually.

All of this news that we read about our student athletes, employees of the school, our student athletes,

should they be paid, they're bringing in so much revenue. It's actually a very big debate.

People are very passionate about that. I don't know that I've ever come out and given my point of view.

I think that college athletes should absolutely not be paid because their job is not to play football or basketball or baseball.

Their job is to put themselves in a position to become professionals. Same reason I went to college was to put myself in position to become professional,

but that was to get into law school and then to go into business.

Now, do colleges make money off their athletes? Of course they do.

Colleges make money off anyone who pays tuition. That's how colleges and universities. That's how they operate. That's how they make it.

All of different services can be offered to students, whether it's libraries, whether it's laboratories, whether it's research,

whether it's trying to find a vaccine for COVID or trying to find treatments for cancer, whether it's funding swimming or volleyball or diving.

It's all a big business, running the university is a big business.

You have to think about the people who are helping you run that business and athletes do help. There's no question.

But there is such an interesting tug of war going on between colleges and the NBA. That's why the NBA started the G-League, which is attracting high school players because these players can go get paid.

I've never been against that. If you can go make money out of high school and you don't need college, I don't think the college is for everyone.

I don't think having a college education is the end all be all depending on what you want to do. Sometimes it's better to go to a trade school.

Sometimes you want to become an actor and you want to try it so you don't need to go to college. Sometimes you want to start a business. Sometimes you want to become a professional athlete.

I think that education is the bedrock foundation and the ultimate safety net because having a degree and having an education gives you an opportunity to learn how to read

and how to really be really good at reading comprehension. It helps you learn how to write, how to think, how to make decisions.

All of these things are absolutely true in my mind. But with the legislatures of different states coming up with different rules about college athletes being able to get paid for their name, image and likeness,
