With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?

College sports will likely go through more changes in the next five years than in the last decades. NCAA could have been at the forefront of the new world of college sports but they may be left behind

So essentially, the university pays direct now in a revenue share, any NIL deal over $600 has to be approved by an NIL clearinghouse run by Deloitte.

Result = the bagman returns

I'm not holding my breath about the clearinghouse withstanding the judicial review and counter suits.

If anything it will add some level of transparency. Which could be good on both sides. Because things have to be cleared they have to be more on the up and up and maybe less stories like the kids that sign and then don't get paid what they expect. It will also slow down the jumping ship maybe? The one negative is its gonna hurt small to mid-level schools that cant fully fund the max revenue sharing. To most P4 schools that amount is nothing.

Transparency? sure, some. But when the clearinghouse says that a deal is worth 100k in addition to the 200k guarantee from the school and that recruit wants another $100k or he plays for another school, you can be sure bags of money will flow his way. They are going to get around that cap. But since it will put it back in the dark a bit, it will lessen the amounts again.

This is at the edges for top 4 and 5* recruits. Im sure the new system will work fine for the bulk of recruits.

The major football colleges (40-50 schools) will retain some licensing, while the programs are sold out to professional teams. The lower tier schools will remain as they are, and I think NIL will even itself out there. How marketable will players be from Rice, New Mexico, etc? The free education will once again become paramount in those level schools.
All of this is in my humble, simpleton opinion. Everyone can slay away with rebuttals of Supreme Court precedents and verses from Leviticus, which proclaim the contrary

Deloitte and the NCAA will be sued before this goes into effect and an injunction will be put in place.

College football’s more professionalized era arrives in July, and historic powerhouses like Ohio State and Texas could lose both their inherent recruiting advantage and their financial edge.

However, in an effort to limit booster involvement, the settlement orders all third-party deals of $600 or more from school-affiliated boosters, or collections of them, to gain approval from a new NIL clearinghouse.

The clearinghouse, operated by Deloitte, is charged with verifying the authenticity of these deals using “fair market value” rates, poised to eliminate phony booster-backed compensation agreements so prevalent in the industry over the previous three years.

Sounds like they're trying to restrict a player's ability to profit from their NIL. My guess is they lose the first time they get sued if they try this.

 

[KHVol]

There is not going to be an end to NIL.

NCAA actually playing this totally wrong. Instead of NCAA trying to act holier than thou and regulating with things that won’t pass the court test.

they need to say pay for play is allowed without any limit but must be done by enforceable contract. If a player is under contract with a school he is not eligible at another school until his contract is full filled. If a player fails to full fill his contract he is not eligible to play anywhere else until released. Schools can then chose length of contract and must pay whatever contract says Even if they decide to let player go.

Then schools can offer a player a contract for 1m for 1 year or 3m for 2.

I like the idea, but it won't pass the smell test from the Ohio vs NCAA case as long as the athletes still must be students.

Not only that, but the NIL clause in the House case settlement conflicts with the injunction in the Tennessee vs NCAA case about Nico's NIL. I think the plaintiff's attorneys in the House case know it and that's why they agreed to the settlement. If the rest of the settlement is enforced, the plaintiffs get there money, revenue sharing starts, and the NIL clause gets litigated again.

The NIL is not ending. It won't ever end. Athletes have a right to make money off their name, image, and likellness. And no one can limit how much they can make off an NIL deal(s).

Now maybe they can police the partnerships that schools have with these NIL collectives. I don't know how that would even happen. But I suppose it's possible.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Reading through that, good luck. Sounds like Deloitte already has internal memos throwing doubt on an outside organization defining what is a real-life reasonable NIL deal.

No way that passes through as constitutional unless an overall CBA between NCAA and a player’s union is formed and ratified.

Can’t happen.

If I am willing to give Spyre a 1,000 a year to have drinks once a year with 20 of the football players at a cocktail mixer then that’s between me and the players and Spyre. Too bad it hurts your feelings NCAA.

My question is, where has it been said that NIL is ending other than this article?

I am still betting after Trumps 100 days, a group of congressmen will have grown weary and will craft some laws with language the courts will not be able to bend.

Members of both parties with constituents that are not aligned with the power schools will craft something that protects lower D1, and all of D2 and D3 where the regular scholly route is the way to go. Will require the NCAA to have a division that provides for that level athlete, but insulates the rest from the carnage.

Take Tennessee, lots of love for the mothership in Knoxville, but districts more aligned with ETSU MTSU UTC TTU UTM and even Memphis will be supportive. Same I would think in most states.

50 schools providing a spot for the prima donnas should cover the deal in major sports, and the rest go back to the old days MORE OR LESS. That would be more slots than in their fields in NFL, NBA, and MLB.

Provide the platform and courts have no victims to champion. All the lower divisions and most sports function.

Bet the house members are aware of the stress on the less advantaged.

Might kill some conferences and major realignment, but hey something is going to go down,

Doubtful. Too many other, more important issues. Built in discrimination that's going to get slammed by the courts. An ATE comes with employee status, dropping student requirements, unionization, athlete trades, a draft instead of recruiting. Don't make the cure worse than the disease. Don't try to save an obsolete model by partially going back to it.

 

[Voluble2]

One of the things that would go into determining if an NIL deal is realistic would be the size of the market.

So it won't help even the playing field any if that is what anyone was hoping.

I think a clearing house is a good idea, because there's too many fake deals/ shady collectives out there. The goal is to pay the players, so just have the schools pay the players. No need to behind an "NIL" deal to pay someone to go to a school. At the same time, if Pilot wants to pay Nico 100k to do commercials for them, then that's totally fair game. I think Collectives can still have a place, but having kids getting lied to about these deals is a problem we need to solve. It should also make recruiting go back to what can school can offer you as far as experience/ education/development, rather than just the highest bidder.

I also think there should be actual 2-3 year contracts. The transfer portal is out of control, and that could help solve some of it. College football needs a collective bargaining agreement essentially.

Why do you think anyone, including you, should be able to limit what other people can make, and why?

They won't be able to limit or otherwise control NIL given the commentary from the SCOTUS.

 

[VolCowboy]

It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s limiting what anyone one can make. However, if you as a business or brand want to be associated with the school you have to play by rules. Kids can get their own NIL separately if they choose, but anything officially tied to the school must flow through the cleaning house. Makes perfect sense to me. I read another article where the IRS will be heavily involved in enforcement as well. I look forward to it, hope it creates stability for both players and teams.

 

[The Original Fade]

Why do you think anyone, including you, should be able to limit what other people can make, and why?

Unless you are self employed, your boss limits what you can make. No one is against free market capitalism but the current system of free agency every year is chaotic and will eventually lead to fan apathy. It’s already starting.

The current system of just paying players outright is also in direct conflict with what the courts ruled on NIL
