Kirby Smart’s Stark Warning to Congress: Is NIL Threatening the Future of College Football?
Navigating the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) scene in college athletics right now feels a bit like trying to read tea leaves during a windstorm. Sure, NIL has unleashed a new era—athletes getting their due, brands circling, and a fresh kind of hustle taking shape. But lawmaking? Well, that’s another story entirely—Congress treading water, coaches sighing, and plenty of questions hanging in the air. Georgia’s Kirby Smart doesn’t just see the bright side; he’s sounding the alarm that what’s currently cooking won’t last without some serious rule-making and foresight. Can you imagine a world where a freshman strolls in making more than a senior, while entire non-revenue sports teeter on the brink of extinction? That’s the tough crossroads college sports faces today. It’s a messy, complicated reality—one that demands answers sooner rather than later.

Most people agree that there needs to be some more rules surrounding NIL, and one of those people is Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart.
