It’s not fair market according to who? Fair market is set by your competitors. If a certain player does not like the deal, he is free to pass it up, and thousands would love to have that deal. 247 just put out a piece where 4/5 stars were asked what their NIL deal is worth. For the top talent...

I can introduce you to 100+ former athletes who will disagree with you. Not being able to afford college and they are doing well right now because of ‘that train’. They knew it was a great deal. It still is a great deal. Unfortunately, now that deal will be cut from hundreds of future Volunteers...

To be fair, they have always been compensated. Free education isn’t free, nor cheap. Ask any parent today. One of my former co-workers was an older gentleman, roommate of Bernard King. In King’s day, a college diploma meant you made 5x the average American who only graduated HS (on average). 5x...

Correct but both men and women are going to lose scholarships regardless. If football separates, there is no money coming in to support the other programs. Most men’s bball teams either break even or are in the red. The few that do make money, will no longer do so bc paying the players so still...

That’s the eventual outcome. Then the consequences hit for the ‘employee’ and the employer. Which programs get cut? In most universities, only one sport provides a product in the black, football. A few have mens basketball.Will those teams make money now? Depends on the % shared. Overwhelming...

So, it begins…bye NCAA Or, at least a new improved version of NCAA is coming.

I agree, but I believe Nico is the headliner the NCAA was going for. Same with Rashada and UF. It’s almost like they want to pick a fight and use these as examples. I don’t think the other allegations are public, are they? Sorry if I’ve missed them but it smells like a witch hunt to me or NCAA...

Yeah, SCOTUS did give NCAA power over pay for play. IOW, recruits before they get to campus. Like I said, courts will decide who has the authority here as NCAA has already told states they don’t have the power. We will see if they are right.

Miami got busted just for a boat ride. Their rules are antiquated, entire rule book needs rewritten.

Yeah, don’t think it’s a huge deal but even if Sprye said it was on the up and up, still illegal per NCAA. I really wish Tom Mars didn’t admit to signing a contract before Nico was on campus. That’s the proof they need. This is going to come down to state NIL vs NCAA NIL and who has authority...

Couple things. 1) You really don’t know Stewart Mandel? 2) I was hoping the rule broken was a grey area of where the NCAA has been inconsistent at best. But getting a free private jet ride has always been a no-no. It’s never been ok and it isn’t covered by state laws either. That is considered...

Totally agree. Michigan winning this year has panicked OSU, they are throwing NIL money like no one else. Buying all these players, what happens to Day if he doesn’t win a title? Does it put him on the hot seat? It should.

The only thing schools are allowed to do (wink, wink) is show a prospect athlete what someone on the team makes at their position. You are correct states have passed laws allowing HS athletes to make money (that’s a slippery slope of HS kids being bought to play across town) but any kid that...

SCOTUS did give them power over NIL but blasted them out of the water on everything else.
