To be sure, the NIL period has generated controversy, but there’s nothing wrong with spending your hard-earned money to support your friends.
Will Campbell, an offensive tackle at LSU, saw it as a way to give back to the other offensive linemen (and staff) on the team by utilizing a NIL deal he got with Bose. According to Pete Nakos of On3, he had to make sure those around him were “right,” and in the end, he gave out almost $10,000 in Bose goods.
In the video that was uploaded, Campbell stated, “You all know how much I love and appreciate you.” “I had the good fortune to collaborate with Bose and provide headphones to everyone.”
That’s how NIL is done correctly, now.
Although former Michigan running back Blake Corum is well-known for using his NIL funds to assist others at Thanksgiving, Campbell is not the first and certainly won’t be the last to do so.
It’s just good to see players who should be compensated showing kindness to everyone around them. It’s encouraging to see that the NIL space still maintains some decency in a world where recruiters may receive millions of dollars before ever setting foot on campus.
The coaches named junior Campbell to the first team of the SEC last season, while the AP named him to the second team. This season, he should rank among the best tackles in college football.
