Daily News | Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has ‘deep concerns’ with NIL and the NCAA transfer portal
”I’ve learned about what NIL is and what NIL is not,” Petitti said. “One of the things we are most focused on are the incentives that are being created for students that are leaving. When you have a system that is providing potential benefits just for entering the portal and a lot of these athletes aren’t realizing the benefits when they enter the portal.
The “flood” Petitti alluded to is the roughly 8,700 college football athletes who moved throughout the transfer portal between August 2022 and May 2023,”We as a conference not only support but celebrate the student-athlete’s ability to generate unlimited benefits from true NIL,” Petitti said. “However, much of what is happening now under the guise of NIL is not true NIL, but rather a move to a pay-for-play system that is driving recruitment and the transfer portal.
