It won't change much really. The hierarchy especially in football was established years ago. This changes nothing.

I saw the interview with some Big 10 basketball player launching a clothing line, aka slapping his initials on a hoody and selling them for $50, outside his school, who is buying?

Only problem is most college baseball players may not be that recognizable to the casual fan
This could be said about any sport. Nothing about baseball makes players less recognizable. Hell, in football players are wearing helmets and you can barely see their faces.
Baseball players may not be getting national deals but they can still do well from endorsements from local companies advertising in local markets.
Also, they could just say something like: "Hi, I'm [team] [position] name" in the ad.

Don't think they can do this either outside of their name from what I was reading about it. University can't be mentioned at all.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Interesting. I wonder how far that goes. Like, are they prohibited from wearing school apparel?

This is probably true but even then they can hold a baseball or something and people will recognize their name. I mean hell they were chanting Rowdy half the year, having a hook like a catchy nickname will help.

That's up to each school. The LSU/Louisiana bill allows athletes to use the schools branding. South Carolina does not.
It'd be dumb, from a recruiting and overall monetary standpoint, to not let them use the school branding.

Is it now possible for players to make more in college than the minors?
Never thought about for baseball

NIL could be HUGE for this sport
I agree

Have you seen the avg salary for a minor league player? They are surprisingly low.
I knew it was low, but damn.

Tanner Allen woulda made 10x that on Jersey/shite sales this season.

Yeah, that's why it is so important for guys to leave after their third year when they still have enough leverage to get a signing bonus.
Posted on 7/1/21 at 2:31 pm to Hailstate15
Absolutely. After seeing that, I really do think this could be a shot in the arm for college baseball.
Toil around on a bus with a bunch of dudes for years making $10-15K before you hit the majors or come to college for a few years, slay tang, make solid money off endorsements, and get a degree?
I know what I'm picking.
Obviously, the scenario doesn't exactly play out like that for high level draftees but those guys are the exception, not the rule.

It easily could play out for them. Especially if they come to campus and dominate. Especially with fanbases like LSU, State, and Arkansas

The guys signing for millions or hundreds of thousands will still go. But the guys on the cusp could live a much more comfortable lifestyle in college than as a poor minor leaguer.
Agreed but those guys aren't going to be raking in NIL sponsorships either. So they'll be in the same boat.

It definitely could, but it's a bit more of a gamble. Even with the change in rules, if you're drafted in the first and are offered a $2.5+ million signing bonus, that'll still be tough to leave on the table. I would imagine that this makes the chances of them leaving that $$$ on the table a much bigger possibility, though.

Unless they perform. You don't think Kopps would have racked in some dough this year?

I’m worried it might reduce parity though by causing even more top players that usually wouldn’t stay/go to college at all to go, but only to like the top 10 or 15 schools
Yes but at least we’re in that group

Sure, but he was already here. And he won't be coming back just because of the NIL.
My point is, it won't impact people deciding to sign or not. At least not the legit impact players. We've had, like many programs, guys get drafted in low rounds as Jr and decide to sign. But most of the time those guys are encouraged to sign as we have other talent coming in already. So even if they wanted to stay, we wouldn't have a spot for them.
In the very rare case you might have someone that is just a great CBB player, but not a prospect for MLB, maybe a booster gives him $10K to come back, but I doubt it.
