Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz is facing backlash after his comments regarding the need for additional guardrails surrounding name, image, and likeness.

The 40-year-old was asked about issues regarding gambling and how he would handle the issue with his team. Drinkwitz proceeded to discuss the impact of NIL on college sports as opposed to answering the question.

"We're giving guys 18, 19, … 22 (years old) life-changing money," he said, per Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger. "People are making more money in NIL than my brother-in-law, who is a pediatrician, who saves lives and we think that there's not going to be any side effect, there's not going to be any issues."
