Hell, he wasn't even wrong really. They just did an about face and changed their mind.
Now - prevailing heads could say who didn't see that coming, and that is a valid point. I just think everyone is completely blowing things out of proportion on how much this really is going to impact things. Now we have a clear direction, we can start making offers accordingly, same as everyone else.
Just to use another school, but Ohio State took the exact same position as us. Are they screwed too? No.

Trump's NIL executive order could change things, gotta wait on that still

I think a lot of folks are also blowing our low recruitng rank in, Not even August, for next year out of proportion. Everyone still has an entire season to recruit and how we do will have more of an impact on recruiting than the big bucks do now. No one actually commits anymore

Yeah, let’s compare. Took the same stance yet are ranked #7 while we are in the 60’s. Why couldn’t we have done that? I think the concern is well founded.
I’ll be optimistic when decisions we are making start turning into results.

Yes, what could possibly be different here. Let's think.
ETA: And my main point of bringing up OSU is to point out how silly the stance that we've been the only one operating like this is. It's objectively not true.

What is the actual concern? Are you concerned we are going to finish the year in the 60's in recruiting because of how we were interpreting the ruling?

NJ and NC signed new laws shieldingtheir schools from NIL punishment. They join TN and Missouri, I’m sure I’m missing some states.
It’s time to just allow the athletes to unionize and make them employees under a CBA. No other way to reign NIL in.

That’s 7 and 65. That’s a big gap.
I’m not concerned we’ll end up 65, I’m concerned we won’t get back in top 15. We have to have top 10 classes YoY if we are going to compete in the SEC and nationally.

Yes it is. There are also many more factors at play than just this NIL approach by our AD.

Why? What has happened that we would be incapable of this? This is what i'm trying to understand.
With them changing their minds on how NIL will interact witht he revenue sharing, we can now offer additional money and will be. If the concern is that we aren't going to be able to offer enough money to begin with, then Cohen's stance on this wouldn't change that.

On first glance, this comes of sounding a bit like Bill Curry vowing to bring the cheaters "to their knees" back when he was at GA Tech.
How'd that work out?

Tubbs has to be giving us the inside scoop

That was exactly what I’ve been thinking

This is insanity. You can pay, you can’t pay, back and forth we go.
Set a cap for each sport so everyone plays on equal footing. Let the university pay out of the revenue sharing. Do away with university based NIL. The player or agent must do their own NIL. Yes I know that can get crazy if it gets out of whack to 5-6 schools then reign those that just out spending everyone with a pay for play beyond what a true type value is. Put it this way there are probably only 10 players in all college football each season that their true NIL value is $50k+

If you read the article it says
Which means it does absolutely nothing. Additionally, executive orders only affect government entities that report up to the executive branch. So they couldn't enforce this even if they wanted to.
quote:
The executive order prohibits third-party, pay-for-play payments but “does not apply to legitimate, fair-market-value compensation that a third party provides to an athlete, such as for a brand endorsement,” according to the White House’s release.

Well very few universities are truly private so if they receive federal funding they fall under federal regulations

It is essentially the same thing that the ruling is supposed to already do. It means nothing more than more government involvement and Trump wanting to get his name in on "fixing" college sports.

I’m sure this is a Tuberville request. I seriously doubt Trump cared about fixing college football
