Duke athletic director, of all people, is concerned about the impact of players profiting from their name, image and likeness on a level playing field in recruiting.
This is the director of athletics at Duke, where Mike Krzyzewski used his position as head coach of Team USA as a heavy recruiting advantage.
Check out this statement (note: they are even being called out by former Duke player Jay Bilas):
This is stunning in its tone deafness. It says, “the money is ours, to pay ourselves fair market value, and should not be re-directed’ to where clear value lies. We shall call for strict equality here only, as we fail to provide equal resources to each sport or athlete.” (1/2) pic.twitter.com/NPTEYJpiBh

Further, “We are worried about recruiting, and know the most important key to winning and financial gain is procuring athletes. We point to a hand-picked ‘relative few’ that parrot us, but ask you to ignore the athletes that will benefit most. It’s OUR MONEY, not theirs.” (2/2) pic.twitter.com/voXug2GDOY

The athletic director at Duke, whose basketball coach leveraged his job as Olympic basketball coach into one of the biggest recruiting advantages in college sports history, is concerned about NIL’s impact on a level playing field in recruiting. Consider that for a moment.
