Binding collective bargaining Hard caps Multi-year contracts rather than allowing an unregulated "Wild West" market that were enforceable

All of this is impossible without an actual player union, which would require they be designated as employees, which is not feasible under the current university athletic model.

Then don’t allow NIL until it is “fixed”

What makes you think they could just suddenly ban NIL? A court is what created NIL in the first place

NIL as I was meant to be isn’t what we’re seeing now

Hence, have a better plan

Honest question, why are you so excited about the sport speed running itself to death?

This wasn’t directed at me but I’ll answer…the sooner it all falls apart the sooner we can achieve some semblance of order.

Which a judge will overturn as an illegal suppression of wages.

You can keep arguing all you want but doing it the way it happened has lead to an unsustainable outcome

It could have been regulated

Anytime they try to institute any type of plan, they get sued for said plan by the aforementioned lawyers.

No such thing here, nobody gets a wage.

Antitrust doesn't apply here, just as you can't claim damages because Target won't stock your product. Private entities can make private rules, as long as they don't collude with the market writ large.

Had the NCAA not arbitrarily said 5 for 5 for everybody EXCEPT the 2022 class this would not be an issue. This specific thing is a one-off event because of the NCAA’s decision to exclude one class from their new rule.

Antitrust issues is the reason they haven’t been allowed to regulate.

Because it's been at the NCAA level, which has an effective monopoly on college athletics and thus NIL.

The SEC is free to make their own rules.

See post above.

The NCAA owns college athletics, but the SEC does not.
