One man’s chaos is another man’s chaos.
After years of living in a system that prevented them from getting fair (or any) value for their skill, effort, and/or sacrifice, college football players are finally getting paid. And one of them sets the bar even higher.
Via On3.com, Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor finalizes a $7.5 million deal return in 2027. With incentives, it could raise up to $9 million.
With Taylor at center, the Bulldogs started 4-0. Taylor has since suffered a season-ending injury.
Before the injury, Taylor was considered one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.
While this development will prompt pearl-clutchers to try to turn the situation into a more political push for the College Sports Protection Act, it reflects the free market at work. Which is good for those in positions of wealth and power, when it comes to their own financial situation.
When someone else reaps the benefits of capitalism in a way that makes life more difficult for those who must balance the books (and extract money from the promoters who support NIL funds), it becomes a problem.
They will therefore do everything they can to reduce the winnings made by players to zero. Because free enterprise is only desirable when those who control it practice it.
When workers start being paid what they are worth, it becomes a crisis.
