I feel like at some point they are going to have to put some terms to these deals to protect schools.

How are the schools not being protected? Not a dollar is coming from them, it’s all between a booster and player.

For instance Pooh should be on a 3 yr 250k deal last year. The only way he can be released from the deal is if he leaves for the NFL.

The good ones are on lifetime deals as long as they stay at the university. Ends as soon as they transfer.

But the rules say the deals can’t be tied to them playing, stats or even where they go to school.

I do believe the changes will be a salary cap style movement, same way they nerfed Alabama by only allowing 85 scholarship players back in the day.

But who is to say what a players value brings in a commercial? Would you turn down a 350K a year to be in a hearing and cooling ad for Auburn? I love Arkansas but never get between a man and his meal.
