The NIL stuff is an abomination afaic, and should never have existed under any circumstance. That's basically what I'm saying. If someone wants to launch a semi-pro league, a minor league (for football), etc, fine by me.
I won't miss those players any more than I miss those who've taken the G-League (whatever that developmental arm is called). And let's note here, you haven't seen me criticize the existence of that NBA project at all afaik.
I have literally zero interest in it but I'm not bothered by its existence either.

It's a professional league no matter how people try to convince themselves otherwise.

We have different definitions obviously. Being a business and having professional players purchased for the highest price are two different things afaic.
