The other interesting complication to this will be once they become employees. NIL I assume will still be treated like now with outside parties determining value and not the university. Meaning the university will still not be involved nor should they.

But if athletes become employees via contracts the powers to be may be able to lock in the value of those contracts via caps, years to meet, and so forth. That might be something that the conference powers can come to terms with via CBA that may not force issues with the Sherman Act. Though courts are already ruling in favor of the athlete that prevents the NCAA from forcing players to sit out as it will hurt their value under the Sherman Act.

Though we know those caps will be a lot higher then current scholarship and annual stipends they currently get. Which will also be more money that has to be paid to non revenue athletes as well.

Right now programs are benefiting from NIL as they do not have to pay it and it comes at no financial cost to them. But putting athlete under a bigger financial contract over what athletes are currently getting may be a financial strain many programs can not afford. Not every athletic department is operating in the black. I posted in another thread recently that showed a&m actually just recored a loss overall.

There is going to be a "right-sizing" of conferences and athletic departments to squeeze the money out. A lot of these operations are ran fast and loose with the money. Over-employing favorite sons and daughters, etc.

Doubt any players will make a late decision to split.

Honestly we made it out pretty okay considering the uncharted water we are in.

Ravens are hiring Michigan’s DB coach Doug Mallory. Not sure if that has any impact on any transfer decisions by Michigan players, but worth noting.

Knock on wood, but there was a moment where it seems like the staff righted the ship on that front. After Sayin, the bleeding stopped.

Yeah it could have been much worse. I think we are good to go. Once our portal closes I’ll kill the thread but man what a ride that was.

I won't miss checking into the board every hour to see what new player has hopped on a flight out of T-town

Good riddance to this thread

Portal close in 2 days. I don't anticipate anyone entering portal in next 48 hours.

SIAP but now with Mallory and Minter both leaving, it could be enough to get some players on that side to consider a transfer.

Wish it had been before Sayin.

I think we're in a really good spot now, though.

Might want to consider leaving it open since this is a part of the game now. Spring window will be here soon. Not saying Bama players will leave, but a place for discussing players transferring in as well as defectors.

I agree with Jojo. Might as well keep it open through the spring portal and just have the one thread each season for transfer news.

Could create a portal thread just like the other team threads , and put all discussion of portal material in all sports … should be plenty of traffic during the seasons

Portal won't be open until after April so we're going to close this one after tomorrow. We can start a new one in a few months.

UCLA coach just left so their 30 day portal window just opened. We'll see how that evolves.

Referring to Chip Kelly as UCLA coach instead of by his name is beautiful.
