NIL money does not come from the school, so it has nothing to do with tuition, state funding, or the money that you apparently paid for you, your wife, daughter, or whoever it was to be a special ed teacher. No different than the fact that the money Gronk gets to do those stupid USAA commercial doesn’t come from the Pats or Bucs. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad that the government and “guaranteed“ government backed students loans, which created a system where a person could take out tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a degree that had little to no chance of producing an income that could realistically pay it back. Two minutes and a few clicks on the internet will show what a graduate with a certain degree can expect to make. If you are going to be a teacher, that is great. I think it is a calling for a lot of people and should be admired, but you are going to make the same amount whether you went to Vanderbilt or the local community college. An “ expensive”degree is no better than a “cheap” one you didn’t need to go into debt to get. If you go into tons of debt to get a education degree from a private school, that is your fault and has nothing to do with Stetsons Bennet getting NIL money from the local Raisin Canes.
Ha! Edumacation there!
I was in no way insinuating that we believe the school pays for NIL. Rather, I was simply speaking hypothetically and fun forum talk. But, as it relates to the degrees and who gets or does what, skin it how one chooses, these state institutions are charging way too much for a degree. An example would be the same degree 30 years ago and it’s increase in cost today, has not reflected the same increase in compensation for the degree holder.
