re: 30 More Mins To Fantasize That The NCAA Is Going To Take Down NICO

A link on a web? One of many links to webpages. They have a link to Bryce Young’s and his NILs. Does that make them a Bama Booster. There’s links about car dealerships and bakers does that mean they sell cars and bake cakes?

Any school they promote or provide benefits to an athlete who attends the school makes them a a booster.

The bar for being named a booster is EXTREMELY low and always has been. The NCAA requires the schools to be aware of who their boosters are and regulate their actions.

Spyre is a booster for any school for which they provide benefits for their student athletes or for whom they promote their sports program.

And yes, a link to a UT sports organization does count as promotion. The link itself is enough. Providing any kind of financial service or benefit to a UT athlete also is enough.

You seem to think there is some sort of specific legal step an organization can take to "get around" the booster definition. It doesn't work that way. The bylaws are generic for a reason.

Now if Spyre is also providing services to athletes at other schools, they can be considered a booster for them as well. In that case any recruiting violation they commit on that school's behalf would also warrant NCAA sanctions.

There's nothing wrong with being a booster. In fact with the changes to NIL rules the list of what a booster can't do is much smaller as they can give players money now. What they can't do is mostly recruiting relating actions... like flying a player to a school for an unofficial recruiting visit.

I'm sorry you don't agree with the NCAA bylaws, but they clearly mark Spyre as a booster. They've been in place for over 25 years. You keep thinking Spyre has some sort of legal "get out of jail free" card. They don't, regardless of how much you try to claim otherwise.

Any news on the Judge's ruling?

No, ruling may come this week or next.
Regardless, Tennessee goobers can rest assured
the ruling will be fair and honest since
Judge Clinton Corker graduated from one of the
finest law schools in the country ,
the University of Alabama School of Law.

Nah , check that , I was wrong. Corker
graduated from William & Mary Law School.
You're screwed goobers.

The lawyer said in court today would the NCAA sign a TV network contract without knowing how much money they were going to get.

The players DO know how much they are going to get. It's called the value of the scholarship.

I keep waiting for a Tennessee fan to explain the Sherman act to us simpletons and what exactly it means to college football.

So far, all I can gather from these threads is that it means the NCAA will be able to have no rules and will cease to exist, college players won’t actually have to go to school, and anyone can do anything. And obviously Tennessee won’t get in trouble for these latest shenanigans.

Explain it to us like we took an experimental injection for a donut.
