NIL regs passed by Big 10 and SEC thoughts?

We gotta recognize one fact. These are grown men. You cannot stop them from making money as an adult. If they want to advertise at a boosters car dealership, it isnt illegal and you can't make a rule against it. We also need to regulate coaches salary and their buyouts.

So, the schools can pay the players now?

And, that Big10 limit would fail in court.

I just dont see how this stops unlimited spending by schools with huge boosters.

It wouldn't.

We already have examples of where "unlimited" spending does not work all of the time to to reduce competition. This alone will limit spending.

Desperate attempt by nonessentials to keep a piece of the pie.

And also reopens the door to resume under the table payments. I’d rather not. Nobody can cheat if there’s no such thing as cheating. Otherwise, cheating for some but not for others (without repercussions).

NIL regulations or not, the bigger issue is the transfer portal.

I don’t care if Tim Smith Jr is getting $2 million to catch a ball.

I do care that he might decide to leave whenever he wants for $2.1 million at a rival school.

I do care that players have literally refused to get on busses without an NIL negotiation.

I do care that players aren’t developing in systems or becoming part of a university identity.

But nothing I care about matters. 24 team playoff with an endless rotation of talent among a few select schools. CFB sucks and one day (hopefully) I will get to the point that I don’t care to watch Auburn football anymore.

NIL and rev sharing if provided by the university or booster much have contracts and very detailed ones now. Like entering the transfer portal. Have to have a snippet about you have to have some type of buyout. That’s the only way forward.

Before the schools had to much power over the athletes now the athletes have to much power over the schools. $50 million is a bit to much. I would have tried to work that number down to $30m with $21 million coming from rev share.

Also truth told above if a player solicits his own deal with an individual company that has zero association with a school, then I have no idea how they could regulate that.

And for us old school college athletes that starved half the time and put in as much or more work then the players do now I don’t feel sorry for these punks making millions a year.

Yes I was all over the original thought of NIL but I was under the impression it was gonna max out at the elite of the very elite players making like $50k a year. So funding entire athletic departments scholarship players may total $7 million for boys and girls sports.

Yall remember when Texas was offering $50k for the top lineman and was getting them
