Apparently some shite happened today.

Hopefully our low-profile in the NIL space as compared to most our conference friends (TAMU, UF, Tennessee, Ole Miss) will keep us clean. Sounds like they are only going backwards to hit the worst offenders.
I bet Jimbo is regretting all of his peacocking from the end of the last cycle.

NCAA DI Board of Directors Issues Guidance to NIL Collectives, Boosters
quote:
On Monday afternoon, the NCAA DI Board of Directors issued updated name, image and likeness guidance to schools, focusing primarily on cracking down on booster-led collectives aimed at making payments to college athletes.
The new guidelines clarify existing bylaws that are already in place that forbid boosters from being involved in the recruiting process, whether that involves persuading a high school athlete to attend an institution or an athlete in the transfer portal to attend the booster's program of choice. The guideline also establishes that the NCAA enforcement staff intends to investigate potential rules violations in the past, present and future.
quote:
The guidance was developed by a task force of national leaders with student-athlete opportunity at the forefront of discussions. Specifically, the guidance defines as a booster any third-party entity that promotes an athletics program, assists with recruiting or assists with providing benefits to recruits, enrolled student-athletes or their family members. The definition could include "collectives" set up to funnel name, image and likeness deals to prospective student-athletes or enrolled student-athletes who might be considering transferring. NCAA recruiting rules preclude boosters from recruiting and/or providing benefits to prospective student-athletes.
The guidance is effective immediately. For violations that occurred prior to May 9, 2022, the board directed the enforcement staff to review the facts of individual cases but to pursue only those actions that clearly are contrary to the published interim policy, including the most severe violations of recruiting rules or payment for athletics performance. Schools are reminded of their obligation to report any potential violations through the traditional self-reporting process.
quote:
The board noted that the emphasis of this NIL guidance is on boosters in the recruiting process and is not intended to question the eligibility of prospective and enrolled student-athletes involved in NIL deals. Only the most serious actions that clearly violate the previously published interim policy would have eligibility implications.

Not exactly NIL but ‘close enough for government work’…
Proposed California bill would force schools to split football, basketball revenue with athletes, per report (247)
California state legislators proposed a bill that would require schools in the state to split 50% of its athletic revenue in football and both men's and women's basketball with the athletes, according to The Los Angeles Times. Senate Bill 1401, titled as the “College Athlete Race and Gender Equity Act," was passed through the California Senate education and judiciary committees and now sits with the appropriations committee, who are set to make the call Thursday on whether or not the bill will reach the Senate floor in Sacramento, per The Times.

Holy shite.
These people are crazy. Congrats on shutting down all but three of your athletic programs.

Fixed. Can't just have women's basketball without running afoul of Title IX. They'd need to offer 98 scholarships to women in order to keep playing football and men's basketball. It's more likely that most smaller schools simply drop athletics altogether.
The only schools in California with an alumni network passionate enough about sports to survive a measure like that are USC and Stanford, and Stanford is subject to change as soon as Phil Knight dies. 50% of profits is one thing, but 50% of revenue would be fatal.

It’s only a matter of time before this issue will be pushed in every state.

Nick Saban says 25 players on Alabama last season earned NIL revenue totaling $3 million and did it “the right way.” Saban speaking at a 50-day countdown event for the World Games in Birmingham.

Oh boy

“I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players,” Saban said via AL.com. “You read about it, you know who they are. We were second in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness.
“We didn’t buy one player. Aight? But I don’t know if we’re going to be able to sustain that in the future, because more and more people are doing it. It’s tough.”

Saban went Nuke on TAMU, Jackson State and others. There is a reason to why he said it out there... Probably not a good take, but interesting to watch.
Welcome back Boz.

Would love to know the reason now was the time to bring this up, had plenty of opportunities this year. Also shocked he named specific teams. Wish he would of left Jackson State out of it, gonna get hit pretty hard going after an hbcu

I’m always here watching and reading just haven’t posted in a bit. Behind the scenes if you will.
He wouldn’t have said it without 100% being informed. I heard a good while back when texas am was forming companies and doing this. Jimbo denied it but, it was absolutely true.

“You best believe I will address that LIE Coach SABAN told tomorrow. I was & awakened by my son
@ShedeurSanders that sent me the article stating that WE PAYED @TravisHunterJr a Million to play at @GoJSUTigersFB! We as a PEOPLE don’t have to pay our PEOPLE to play with our PEOPLE,” Sanders said on Twitter.”

Said this in the main thread but I think Saban is basically warning everyone again. He doesn’t want to pay all these guys. But if they don’t fix the rules and enforce them, he will do what he has to in order to keep up and win. He’ll do it better than anyone else when he goes all the way in.
It’s also good that Saban said this because now everyone else in coaching and media has cover to talk openly about what’s gone on. Until now they’ve all been scared and dancing around the topic.

Why? F Them too!!! Might as well go scorched earth on everyone and treat everyone the same

Jimbo shot a direct shot at Saban and the press conference today made me think Saban did it on purpose to say hey if they're gonna do it, we will do the same.
Nat Oats said same thing this morning in a subtle way. Sounds like Bama is getting ready to be aggressive with NIL deals.... or legislation might be introduced on federal level quicker than expected.
