Marcus Lattimore ( 2010 ) He had the best vision of any running back ever!

Some running backs run where the play is supposed to go no matter what the blocking looks like. Even if the hole collapses they still run that direction that was designed.

Lattimore would always find the hole and run where ever there was an opening and the scheme didn’t matter. So much football knowledge!

Watch for yourself to remember if you need it!

So, how does NIL affect your view of college athletes and how you interact with your team....

Are you going to stick to never booing players? Do you really care about the GPA of the team? Will you be less tolerant of lackadaisical players not showing up? Will you reduce your financial support?

Or maybe, you will hand out some money, for real marketing or on the fly for autographs? Will you follow certain players just to build their followers on social media?

For me, this is a very different game now. Our team has a lot less to do with getting an education at South Carolina and more to do with what the athlete can maximize for themselves.

I don't begrudge these kids getting paid for their image. I do hate to see the end of "the old college try." And, as some of the gleam wears off of this and we develop the team haves and have nots, teams will become transient groups of the rich and disgruntled. Follow the money.

We may as well pay all of them and make them minor league pros.
