NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Washington State's Ron Stone Jr. speaks out. Last week, Stone Jr. and I spoke in person again. This time about greed and the game’s twisted landscape. He told me about being approached in the offseason by collectives that tried to lure him away from Pullman with a pile of NIL money. “It kind of kills it for some players,” Stone Jr. said. “Everyone is chasing the financial gain and not the actual football gain, the athletic opportunity. It’s ‘Who can pay me more?’ and not ‘Who can play me more?’ It’s not ‘What scheme fits me better?’ It’s ‘Which car is better?’” As long as college athletics is asking for congressional intervention on the matter, it ought to put Stone Jr. in front of a subcommittee.
