When this happens I will be done with college football.
This probably deserves its own thread.

The had a NIL expert on 365, he said if this passes and Football and Basketball Players become âpaid employeesâ of the university it will kill Womenâs Sports.
The reason is because once they become âpaid employeesâ they are no longer scholarship athletes and the 1 for 1 Mens/Womens Scholarship ratio drastically changes. it takes many Womens sports/scholarships to even out the # of scholarships for Football.
PoofâŠThat goes AWAY when they become paid employees

Interesting read on the future of nil.
I created another thread but the report talks about the path for title IX compliance. Sure more details to come.
Yep.
Hey, considering that more women than men attend and graduate from college, is Title IX even needed?
If these sports cannot compete on their own, then the school can either subsidize them out of their own pockets or get rid of them.
The subsidies donât last forever.
Smith is great when he had time to throw
If you take out all of the scholarship players of MensBB and Football we are talking a drop of 100 that they do not have to be forced to cover down the road with the tit for tat title IX. That is a pretty big amount to take off the books.
Pure fantasy, why pay when you can get it for free MHver mind is working OT, he must not be able to sleep at night chronic insomniac Iâm thinking
and the judge is exactly right. This is another ncaa attempt to control the purse.
When can high school players start making money on NIL? What about Pop Warner? Thereâs so much football weâre not squeezing every nickel out of. Why are we wasting all of these kidsâ most productive years? How am I supposed to cover my NFL bets?
I know hs kids who have signed NIL management contracts.
NIL hasnât ruined college football. The combination of unfettered transfer portal and NIL ruined it

There are two different discussions going on here about 18-year-old.
Nobody is denying the legal capacity of an 18-year-old
What we are denying is the capacity in every other way of 18-year-old.
What I am certainly denying is the capacity of an 18-year-old to go up against a sophisticated group of big time donors, and the university behind them.
That is why a kid yes a kid that is turning 18 or is18 needs A complete team behind him.
Parents, if they are any of that 18-year-old may not have the sophistication to deal with all the complexities of these transactions.
Now, I obviously have a belief on a way to do that, however, many other way to do it. You can also do them both ways. Just as in professional sports players, have managers and lawyers and agents and financial people and the players collectively have a Trained staff of professional negotiators to handle the complexities of issues associated with the particular sport.

Seriously ?
Any names you can drop; but that would be tacky.
Or maybe just the school district where it is happening.
Any clue on what percentages these contract managers are getting ?
Donât disagree with this ruling for actual NIL.
The problem is that most players are not getting paid for NIL. They are not doing marketing or making appearances. Some are.
NIL is a chance for players to make money doing actual work such as be in a commercial, run a social media page, sign autographs, sell their shoes, etc⊠When collectives start to act like marketing companies and give the players money for marketing things, then it is out of the realm of the NCAA.
If they are just being payed to sign with a school, that is still within the realm of the NCAA. Even in the judges statements after the first ruling, some stated it was not about playing for a school they were approving, it was limited to actual work outside school - (not these exact words).
Pay to play needs to be controlled for any semblance of balance however small.

Chris I would agree with you but what about players like Cam Newton and more than likely most five stars prior to the NIL? They too got bags of money under the table while the ncaa looked the other way. It was not called the NIL then but it is basically the same today except that it is now legal.
