Shilo<\/a><\/strong> and Shedeur Sanders<\/a><\/strong>, the two sons of Colorado<\/a><\/strong> head coach Deion Sanders<\/a><\/strong>, have been at the center of the NIL boom in college athletics. But they\u2019re a little tired of the critics, especially those talking out of both sides.<\/p>\n

Speaking with media at Big 12 Media Days this week, the brothers and Colorado players decried getting flak for taking part in a system that many were arguing needed to exist. To them, it\u2019s been perplexing to feel the shift from advocates decrying colleges tamping down athletes economic rights to the athletes earning getting decried themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the thing about it is: Alright, everybody fights so hard for NIL. Now we have, now everybody want to hate on you. Right?\u201d Shilo Sanders said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His brother added on.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t ask to get paid and then when people get paid and you hate on each other, that don\u2019t \u2014 that just don\u2019t make sense,\u201d Shedeur Sanders said.<\/p>\n

Further, the Sanders brothers were a little irked at facing so much criticism when they feel their NIL deals are, largely, keeping in the spirit of the system: Getting paid for making appearances or having their likeness used. They cited modeling in a Louis Vuitton show in Paris earlier this year as an example of them doing the work associated with getting paid for their NIL.<\/p>\n

And both seemed to agree it\u2019s a far cry from a lot of NIL deals where collectives are just offering up deals to athletes essentially as a salary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is what it is, when it comes to that,\u201d Shilo Sanders said. \u201cYou know \u2014 you know what, actually some schools, it\u2019s kind of unfair for us. Because actually have to go do deals. Everybody was talking about us going to the fashion show, modeling for Louis Vuitton. What team has NIL deals where their players actually have to go do stuff? That you see?\u00a0\u2026 We don\u2019t got that. We\u2019ve gotta go, actually, to Paris. Like y\u2019all can hate on that \u2014 what I\u2019m saying is we actually have to put in the work for the deals. We can\u2019t just sit back and be like, \u2018Collective, thank you. $50,000 in my bank account, appreciate it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Shedeur continued, capping the discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cNIL and all this stuff is cool, but at the end of the day, that stuff\u2019s going to run out,\u201d Shedeur Sanders said. \u201cYou\u2019ve gotta be able to have longevity, you\u2019ve gotta be able to actually have love for the game. Money isn\u2019t going to cure that. You\u2019ve gotta actually love the game, put in the work. The money is just there to help you, to guide you, whatever you need, your resources you need to be great. That\u2019s all the money\u2019s there for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
