It doesn't matter what NIL was "conceived as".The sport is a mess already--or hadn't you noticed?
Correct me if this is wrong, but it's my understanding that NIL was conceived for /current/ student-athletes at a college/university--meaning players already in school and playing. It was not conceived to be used as a recruiting tool for bribing high-school prospects. I think that is at least part of the issue here.
Also, I'm not sure why any state that has D1 colleges with football programs--but football programs that are not nearly at the level of the major-conference football crazies--would want to take part in a lawsuit of this nature, as they will never compete financially with the P5 crazies. Why would Kansas, New Jersey, Connecticut, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, to name a few--want to join a lawsuit aimed at allowing the big-conference big boys and their wild-eyed boosters to throw money willy-nilly at high-school prospects? They don't have the programs or money to compete with the big crazies--so why would they support an unregulated market that favors the big boys?
It is hilarious. That movie reminds me of my fraternity days. I graduated the year it came out. It’s one of my top 5 movies of all time.Despite Animal House being widely viewed, many do not know the line. You always get a few on here to correct you about the German part. I thought you mentioned the line on purpose for that reason. Always cracks me up.
This came from someone I know that’s is connected to the state government here in Nashville. This person didn’t say these states WOULD join but have reached out and have an interest in the outcome and seem willing to explore joining. Let’s hope TX joins. That has the power of multiple division 1 universities.Hey Franklin, where are you seeing this? Thanks!
Makes sense. Tennessee won't be the last school that the NCAA would go after over NIL. Anyone with a brain would understand that. Texas, Texas A&M could be targets. Ole Miss could be a target. Florida, Florida State, and Miami are or have been targets.This came from someone I know that’s is connected to the state government here in Nashville.

I’ll be honest, the allegations against Tennessee seems to have the fingerprints of an Alabama origin. Saban hates NIL and was definitely pissed he didn’t land Nico. NIL and the changing college landscape that allowed a school like Alabama to cheat under the table, leveled the playing field in terms of payouts to players.Makes sense.

Kinda weird how the NCAA doesn't go sniffing around the state of Alabama. Maybe it just smells too bad there.
My guess is Florida is next, they like fighting in court these days.Makes sense. Tennessee won't be the last school that the NCAA would go after over NIL. Anyone with a brain would understand that.

Unless I missed something, is there a particular reason Virginia is joining us in this? Are any of their programs being investigated for similar issues? Or are they just doing what they feel is right for the sport and NIL in general?
