The executive order doesn’t do anything. It’s not a law, it’s just a directive to federal agencies. The broad issue being federal agencies aren’t handling NIL deals and would still be overruled in court almost immediately if they were
It’s just a PR paperweight move

Federal agencies - like the IRS? I could see this being somewhat effective. I can’t imagine the parties of the NIL agreements, particularly the individuals and organizations funding the NIL agreements, want the IRS crawling up their arse any more than they already do.

The IRS is going to do what exactly?…
All the IRS does is check if it’s income which either way it is. They can’t do anything about it and they’re not in the business of fair market value testing player contracts because it’s not a tax code issue. Even then his own EO neuters itself with its own fair market language
Besides the fact we handicapped the IRS during that whole “replace taxes with tariffs” dream phase

Things are going so swimmingly though. Why would he possibly need some positive PR to distract people?

Not even talking politically, just saying the IRS isn’t in a position to be used offensively anyhow

I do think there’s a possibility that if this makes it to the highest levels of the judicial system that we all know how that turns out. 6-3 and all that jazz.
There’s a solid chance that with this executive order there’s a bit of leverage to lock in some normalcy or negotiate some manageable terms through collective bargaining that doesn’t devolve the sport into “we have more rich old fricks than you”

Ain’t no way that holds up in the courts. But I’d be happy if it did.

That’s why I’m saying, if it goes to the Supreme Court then it def could hold up.
If it’s an executive order being challenged then it could very well reach the highest court and that court is going to side with that order

You realize that any university like UA that receives federal funding would be required to comply or could jeopardize funding.

So many EOs have been challenged in court and have yet been struck down. Congress can also strike it down.

This is really all this is based on the language. It does not say anything different from what the House agreement did and what the CSC wants to create.

At least Trump is trying to do something to fix the current mess. If he magically fixed everything the TDS crowd still wouldn't give him any credit.
The courts caused this mess. Too many nutjobs in the district courts...they go against anything with Trump's name on it because they're just robed political activists. It could easily end up at the Supreme Court.
But it's just funny how after 100+ years of college sports suddenly "the courts" decided the system has been wrong the whole time.

Not directed at you, but let's shelve the political stuff.
We have a board for that.

Alabama isn’t giving NIL out that this applies to, so no, it doesn’t apply to them. Yea Alabama was already operating under this structure and even with settlement didn’t get out of fair value issues (see: Clearinghouse).
Collectives and donor/third party deals aren’t federal agencies or federal fund recipients which is what this is targeting. So it does just jack. It’s also why the story hasn’t picked up any real steam. The fact is that an EO doesn’t create a law or subvert it. See: Student loan forgiveness attempts.
I wouldn’t assume the Supreme Court does anything but strike even the clearinghouse down, especially with Kavanaugh openly asking for people to bring him a case to do so. But to get there you need it to be challenged.
Barring an actual law like the saving Americas Pasttime Act, which heavily limits minor league pay, it’s going to continue to be the Wild West.
