The recruiting free for all is ending

As much as I hate this paying of college athletes, it's going to be interesting to see what happens now that direct payment is authorized through revenue sharing, but the unrestricted booster funded NIL is going to be curtailed. I guess it's at least a somewhat positive move to establish a Clearinghouse for nil deal compliance. Are the Texas, Michigan, Oregons of the world going to go all in this recruiting cycle knowing that they are about to lose their recruiting advantage of the last few Wild West years? None of these ludicrous bag deals are going to pass muster going forward.

NIL deals worth more than $600 must now go through a clearinghouse to ensure fairness and transparency.
There are new rules to crack down on non-compliant NIL deals backed by boosters.

Will get struck down in lawsuits.
Supreme Court opened this up. They aren't getting sidestepped by some little clearinghouse.

Will Arkansas be able to inch closer to leveling the all time series with Missouri with this change?

Yeah, it's hard to see how this is going to stand. I wish it would, FWIW.

University lawyers will make every deal over six hundy sound kosher.
It’s still the Wild West. Don’t worry.

How do you suggest stopping one adult giving another adult money?

It won't. Pay the players, institute a draft, make them sign the contracts, only way to curtail it.

Lol, why would anyone "hate" college football players getting paid?
You can hate the system but still be glad that they're getting paid.
The Georgia football program has generated over 1 billion dollars in revenue in the last 6 years.
To suggest that the players should just shut up and be happy with their free room and board and free meal plans and free online badmintion classes is just bizarre.

quote:lol, this is the result of the federal class action lawsuit. This is from the court. They gonna sue the court? They gonna sue the NCAA for doing what the court said? The legal basis for these player lawsuits has been addressed. The NCAA was profiting but not allowing the players to profit. Now profit sharing is authorized, and legit nil deals are available. Also, the boosters are free to give anybody money they want to I guess, but that doesnt mean that person gets to play football. Eligibility requirements are still a thing, and legal. Otherwise, how does a player having to be enrolled in the school stand up? Why should you have to be a student at the school or go to class just to play on the football team? Why can you only do it for 4 years? Etc etc etc

This is the legal cover that the NCAA needed to start enforcing stuff again. Sorry, it's bad news for the dirt bag pay for play programs

There are no free lunches. Someone always pays. In the case of paying players, eventually much if not most of the cost will end up trickling down to the fan in the form of surcharges, mandatory membership in booster groups and extra fees. You are already beginning to see it.

Nope. The courts said they couldn't limit player NIL, it says nothing about the ability to limit boosters.
This is what they should have done from the start and is exactly what I thought they were going to do.

This clearing house will last until the first time a player is offered an NIL deal the clearing house says is too high.
About a week or so.
This situation is asinine in the extreme.

you're naive if you believe that crap

quote:explain the mechanism by which that would happen. So a player gets denied and they sue. Maybe they win their particular case and a judge says this particular deal is good but that doesn't implode the framework. That's what was happening before, all these lawsuits were paralysing the ability to enforce eligibility. It's a court ordered framework now, the NCAA would just be following the terms of the court ordered settlement. If someone wants to challenge it they have to now go uphill against a court sanctioned process. I'm not sure why people are not getting that. This is a much different situation than what was happening with the NCAA losing all those lawsuits. This is the result of them losing the lawsuits. The settlement gives them legal cover

It will likely lead to a few more bells and whistles but not much. An NCAA clearinghouse bureaucracy passing judgement on how advertising dollars are spent? Please.
At most, you'll see the athlete have to do something like hold one hour seminars at the local HS.

Eventually federal law enforcement is going to get involved because somebody is inevitably going to abuse this nil system for money laundering for something like drug dealing. This whole concept of millions of dollars changing hands for no proper consideration is just primed for criminal abuse.

You should look at Texas recruiting classes before NIL. I'll give you hint it won't look too much different.
