'19 TX WR Isaiah Neyor

And how would that be different from the CFP era of the last 8 years?

It widens the gap?

While this is from a 6 month old article about the State of California law, the States appear to be the biggest elephant in the room in regards to NIL being reeled in.



The NCAA Declares Independence from NIL Restrictions | Newsletters | Legal News: Sports | Foley & Lardner LLP

The argument would be over the meaning of "punish". I would argue it isn't "punishing" a player by requiring proof of value of their NIL to an organization.

At some point, either Congress gets involve (which is almost universally a bad thing) or states with tighter restrictions pressure states like CA into more reasonable rules.

The other option... which CA does not want... would be for the NCAA to simply move on without CA programs.

We can argue NIL all we want. Or we can just realize this kid committed to UT sight unseen and then the home team pushed hard and he chose to play where his family can take a short ride to see him play next fall before heading to the NFL. We’d all do the same thing. Case closed.

He would have lit it up in Heupel’s system.

For who though? College football has had this dynamic for years. I can't think of a single "Cinderella Story" in college football since maybe Ga Tech winning a national title in 1990. There are about 10 schools that have a shot a national title every year and the list barely changes.

It's not hard to figure out. "NIL" has become the fan excuse for everything.

A. Money has always been the fan excuse, decades before NIL even existed.

B. I hate that so that many people (even Swain) have forgotten that Texas was pushing for Neyor from day 1. Neyor committed to us knowing Texas was ready and willing to sign him. So as much as people want to chalk to up to him just wanting to stay home, it appears other factors were at play. I think NIL was a big part of it, and so did Hubbs as of yesterday evening. It’s not just a throw away excuse, in this case.

Oh, I'm sure it may have entered into decision. I just laugh when every time we miss out on anybody we start getting the "NIL is ruining everything" posts.

I definitely understand that.

IMO a good start would be to have a limited period for players to enter the portal and sign an LOI with a new team.

I also think the NCAA would be within bounds of the ruling by requiring NIL deals to demonstrate some actual value to the business or group paying the money.

That’s what I was wondering about, the benefit to the business paying the NIL money. A lot of these business owners and companies are already big donors so anything they do for NIL would be on top of donations to the university. That’s where things will get interesting as I think it’ll eventually cut into donations to the schools unless businesses and owners are able to recover a good chunk of their money through whatever agreements they have with the players.

"Small Market" teams in the NBA, NFL, and NHL have a hard time keeping star players due to lack of money. It's coming to College Athletics...............

Not NFL…players don’t go to bigger markets in that league because they all make a bunch of money, and the tv contracts are league wide and split evenly.

This guy is leaving the only team that gave him a chance to play D1 after only a year. I'm not surprised he jerked us around,

For the teams that have the most donor money to spend. Even with what you are saying being true. The recruiting money was a lot closer due to teams having to lurk in the shadows to pay a recruit, conference bowl splits, TV revenue, etc. Now it’s going to become the ‘Hunger Games’. The team that has the highest backing is going to have a competitive advantage more so than in the past.

I do think players sometimes want to be in large markets to maximize endorsement opportunities..at least they used to.

Transfer Portal = Free Agency for kids at small schools

He was there two seasons.

More so in the NBA. The NFL has done a great job providing parity. Star QB’s just don’t change teams.

Rodgers in GB, Mahomes in KC, Allen in Buffalo, Wilson in Seattle, Peyton was in Indy and only left because of his injury…

Strangely enough, both NY franchises have been dumpster fires. Chicago has been mediocre. Dallas hasn’t won anything in 25 years, and the LA franchises haven’t been successful in a while.

Tell me, what’s our current class ranked?

About #22 in average ranking.

For 2nd tier programs it is decent which is about where we are.

Exactly. Have to crawl before you walk. McGump nuked us.
