I have still never seen anyone explain how this works with Title IX

The second this passes ever gender studies major lawyer in the country is going to file a lawsuit because the men's football and basketball players are getting paid more.

Democrats love passing laws that directly contradict to be the most woke in the moment.

I was listening to the 24/7 guy theorize that Miami would be making a comeback as a national power once this image likeness stuff is in place. I'll admit the kids are going to now have more than pocket money, but Miami and their school will not outbid or somehow bribe kids to their University as if they have dollars to spend than any other elite power 5 team doesn't have access to. The NCAA has to rule and will define it soon enough so that the Florida schools don't get that kind of head start. It just pushes this thing to its completion this summer.

There is no scenario where this is a good idea - NONE. It will destroy teams. One player will make nothing and the player right beside him might make $5 million. It will destroy team chemistry, structure, and turn recruiting into a talent management/agency. Players will go where they can get the most money.Period.

I think it works with Title IX because it doesn't have anything to do with what the schools are providing in terms of opportunities to men and women equally. It simply allows all players in all sports, regardless of gender, to be able to earn an income in the open market. I don't believe Title IX would even be applicable in this. I'm sure if the NIL based bills have been proposed both in the NCAA and at the federal level in Congress, then there likely aren't Title IX issues they're worried about.
