It's a conundrum.

I argued against it because there would obviously be no way to regulate it and no way to put the genie back.

But I argued for it because the ncaa can't take away someone's rights (i.e. Sony Michel's ability to make music and profit from it.).

Blocking NIL was wrong. But the ncaa knew why they were fighting that battle.

The people that will eventually be the most harmed by this is the 3 star type players in high school. The number of full rides being handed out will be reserved for high 4 star and 5 star rated players. Teams will not need to have 15-20 3 star players in a recruiting class. It is now a game of horse trading in the portal to form yearly rosters. The 3 star guys who used to make up at least half of recruiting classes at most schools are now going to get offered partials at Georgia State , Louisiana-Monroe, etc..

This is enteresting. I could be wrong, but I don't think the NCAA only has jurisdiction over football. His ability to make money with his music would be out of their purview, I think.

I mean, for years other conferences had football players that played other sports professionally at a point. As long as it was not football it was ok. It was the SEC that had a rule in which if someone played any sport professionally they could not be considered an amateur for Football. (The SEC has changed that rule now)

I think Michel could have made money with his music as long as it was kept separate from football.

Of course, I could be misremembering or just plain wrong, too.

It’s pretty undeniable CFB is worse off since NIL at least imo. It was also pretty shitty how the NCAA acted before it so like you I find it legally correct and am thankful for what we used to have. It can still be regulated though with the transfer portal, and it should be.
