I don’t disagree. But that is not the fault of the athletes and doesn’t justify not giving them a fair piece of the pie. A model of revenue sharing across all schools within a certain level (ie fbs, fcs, etc), and based on the number and type of varsity sports offered, makes the most sense to...

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for athletes earning off their own NIL, but I’m not a fan of salaries from the schools. I think an endowment that would support modest stipends for all athletes is fine, but all schools should have the same cap to avoid inducement. My point was that there are plenty...

Yeah, I mean collectives may go away, but NIL as an idea will not. NIL is just being paid for use of your name, image, or likeness. So endorsements, royalties, etc That will not go anywhere, and so those things will still be used to recruit athletes.

And people are saying salaries, but this will likely be treated like stipends.

No it won’t. Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything. My wife had a job in a lab but was an English major. No fafsa or restrictions. And the university can provide stipends for athletes pursuing a degree in any field of study for any reason. There is no legal issue with that. There just isn’t...

The student work model is just one example. PhD students work in labs and receive a stipend. They often work way more than full time. They also have to be students. They can be independently wealthy and still receive a stipend and still be required to do the coursework. There are plenty of ways...

Why would the distinction matter? There are already limits to the time an athlete can spend on team activities, just as there are for student work programs.

But this will not make NIL go away, or otherwise change much about recruiting. NFL players have no limits on endorsements and neither will college or high school athletes.

This doesn’t have to be like a random person taking a job at UT. Lots of students do work programs - work at the bookstore, library, administration, etc. When I was in school I worked afternoons in the IT and AV group and was a student employee that was paid by the university. This would...

Thanks for posting this. It pretty much sums up the crux of the state's case pretty well. Spyre and high-school athletes cannot be prevented from negotiating a deal and the NCAA cannot punish the athlete because doing so violates the Sherman Act. If an athlete is denied the ability to compete...

I know it’s old news now and probably discussed elsewhere, but since this discussion earlier in the year, this happened: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/ncaa-suspends-transfer-eligibility-rule-5069928/ I’m curious if folks still think this will hold up if appealed.

I see. That makes sense and clearly I misremembered that. It seems so long ago ;) I think these types of prohibitions are not long for this world though. The SCOTUS has already set a precedence and if somebody wanted to challenge any of their guidelines (including transfers), they are unlikely...

I am not sure exactly what you are arguing here. Regardless if a scholarship student makes $1 or $1,000,000 for a school, either they are all employees or none of them are. I mostly agree with all of the points that you have made in this thread, but the reality remains that you cannot...

This isn't really true, technically or otherwise. The Alston ruling was actually pretty limited in scope and focused only on NCAA restrictions on "education-related benefits". It had nothing at all to do with NIL. If anything, the ruling seemed to endorse the ability of a University to pay a...

That was before the NIL decision. As it is now, if you restrict transfers then you restrict earning potential. Again, there is no chance it sticks.
