So, if you get caught doing it, I assume the feds can put you in jail?

This seems impossible to enforce.

Maybe goon squads in unmarked vehicles to round up athletes until a court can stop it??

All of the NCAA prohibitions against paying players over the years have bee impossible to enforce, this would be no different.
You and Sukie just couldn’t help yourselves, could you? Please keep this just on the topic at hand.

Sounds like solid information. 100% believe him…
What are you talking about? Just a funny hypothetical. Would never happen in America, right??

Yea, not sure how much effect this executive order actually will have. Actual action by Congress is likely what is needed.
Correct, and Presidential EOs only have the force of law within the Executive Branch. Statutory law passed by Congress has much greater weight. And EOs are subject to court challenge.
I can’t imagine declaring the College Sports Commission part of the Executive Branch and the NCAA certainly isn’t one. Those are the only enforcement authorities that would logically have any enforcement power.
At best, this is symbolic, with no ability to enforce. At worst, this is a political stunt.
Something tells me, based on the previous USSC ruling which suggested that there may be literally NO limits on NIL, any Exec. Orders OR Legislation to this effect will be struck down as unconstitutional.

I dislike sports when it becomes like politics.

Wait a minute the big10 and sec told us the NIL issue was resolved with constant monitoring…
So much simpler when we didn’t have to decide which money was ok
Disagree. That case was based on antitrust violations only.
A one-sentence antitrust exemption from Congress and all this goes away.
Moreover, laws are generally, if not always, exempt from antitrust scrutiny.
IMO, that executive order isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
There are no limits in NIL but that is no pay for play
NIL is supposed to be Nike gives me a shoe deal and if I leave team x to go to team y the deal stays with me
Pay for play is if you come and play at x school our collective will pay you but if you leave no more $
The enforcement is both at the conference level and federal
The conference finds out about an illlegal incentive and disqualifies the player
At the federal level, the IRS looks for evidence of undisclosed income

I see.
Well, perhaps a case could be made there.
That said…I thought that these collectives were indeed “NIL Collectives,” or at least, that’s what I’ve always heard them referred to as.
That would still be NIL, right? Wouldn’t that still potentially be subject to Justice Kavanaugh’s statement?
Penny will still be getting punished by the NCAA.
Is that not what the west Texas cabal is doing with their $55 million next year?
