NCAA agrees athletes can make money from their fame

Will be interesting to see how HS athletes/handlers line up endorsements before they enter college. How long until cheerleaders, dance team or band want a piece of the pie? Another things to watch is booster donations, do those go down slightly/significantly over the next few years? Alot of questions. I'm a capitalist so, lets go!

So Volnation could start a collection and pay recruits to “advertise for Volnation”.

We could directly affect recruiting and play an actual role rebuilding UT. This is a really cool time to be a college ball fan.

But that isn't what I said, obviously some States are limiting or regulating them for some unknown reason which could be a regulatory taking(?). I think you should pay more attention when in the forum.

BTW on another subject LSU is already advertising in a big way. All the way up to New York Time Square. LOL

Wonder what an advertisement costs on that screen?

Just saw where Bo Nix of Auburn has signed a deal to represent Milo's tea. Milo's is a fast food hamburger franchise in AL that heavily markets their sweet tea. Not sure if its outside of the State. The professionalization of college players has begun.

“NCAA rules that prevent schools from paying players directly remain intact. The board directed schools to make sure that payments to athletes are not expressly for their athletic achievements and to ensure that no payments are used as recruiting inducements.”
Sorry but the NCAA and their power to enforce rules are still intact. This is a mine field everyone still has to navigate…

I think the NCAA is opening up the floodgates to endorsements and hoping the kids will take this and be happy. But I don’t believe this alone is what SCOTUS had in mind with their ruling. They did not mention NIL directly. My opinion of what they were trying to get at sounded more like a profit sharing type situation. There will be a conversation about a bigger piece of the pie at some point.

rumored reports are several Miami players ( King) have signed contracts worth 20.000 .

1: I have a feeling a lot of these "contracts" were already in place before NIL, LOL. you can pretty much follow the money trail right now.

2: Will be interesting to see how "paid appearances" affect "stars".

This is going to hurt Bama in the long run more than it’s gonna hurt anybody else.

Schools are blasting ads left and right on social telling kids how well they could do with NIL at their school. APP STATE and Notre Dame were notable.

Some have argued that NIL just makes the rich richer but I’m not so sure. It’s going to be harder for Saban to convince a 5 star to come to Bama and sit the bench till their junior year when they could get on the field somewhere else as a freshman and start making money. Those car dealerships in Birmingham aren’t going to sign the 4th string QB no one knows to endorse them. They will want the starter.

Ugh. This is going to suck. Between every Oregon player in existence hawking Nike apparel for $50,000 "NIL" contracts, or Memphis players extolling the virtues of Fedex (seriously, I can already see the "who's faster" ads with Memphis wideouts and Fedex delivery guys), and local players trying to tell me about Thermocopy this is going to seriously suck. I don't even have a copier! Ugh.

Can you imagine the first time a player hawks MyPillow? Chaos. Chaos and madness. Ugh. Times two ugh.

"All three divisions are still committed to avoiding pay-for-play and improper inducements tied to choosing to attend a specific school. The NCAA announced that those rules will remain in effect."

They just made it easier to get away with it.
