#1 top recruit priority.. “How can I make money before I can make tons of money.” That seems like a lifetime decision not a revered 40 year decision.

If I were one of the top 150 football players in the country, and I was expected to work 40+ hours/week on football, and I didn't come from a weathly family, then I would consider the amount of money I'd make from NIL during college.  Wouldn't anyone in those circumstances?  If Stanford is asking people not to consider NIL income (which I doubt Stanford would do), then isn't that sort of like a potential employer saying, "Don't consider the salary or bonus.  Make your job choice entirely based on what you'll learn while you're here making slave wages."
