re: The NIL Ruling has nothing to do with the portal. The SCOTUS did not rule on the Portal.

If this happens, could an employment contract then have a Non-compete clause worked in it that would prevent or penalize an athlete from going to another school?

I don't know, I assume they would essentially be State employees.

Which IMO implies that they are eligible for benefits like retirement or a pension, health insurance, etc.

In this scenario, you could have a 5th-year senior who graduates with a masters degree, works for five years in the same system, and is fully vested (thus completing 10 years of service).

And we're talking about athletes across all collegiate sports, not just football.

How anyone could possibly think we could all pay for this down the road is a mystery, hence why I said it would probably end college sports as we know it.
