All this means is the money will be funneled another way! They will continue to pay players a lot of money!

Which TBH they should be deductible if the NIL payment to the player is taxable... otherwise IRS is double dipping...

kinda got a point

ALhunter•21 months

My guess is the IRS gave guidance that NIL contributions aren't ordinary income losses...

I guess A&M found out it's not legal to purchase boyfriends for your players.

About time these "Collectives" get shut down. They have NOTHING to do with NIL....they are basically inducement funds to help lure athletes to the university.

Can only Imagine the things done to get top recruiting classes to A&M. Sounds this was done because they knew rules were broken and NCAA maybe be looking into this.

ATM has been hit with some of the most major NCAA infractions. A dirty program whose very limited success has almost always been followed by investigations and penalties. They never should have been invited to the SEC.

A&M should be removed from the SEC, TEXAS and OK disinvited

But they didn't buy that recruiting class. Don't you believe it. Jimbo says they didn't.

Can someone explain the NIL payment to the athlete like I am 5? Like, does LSU get paid and Dunne gets an allowance? Or does Dunne just cash fat checks directly and LSU hopes she continues to go to class?

I dont think the university is control payments from an individuals name, image, and likeness.

Athletes make deals with sponsors and they do not lose eligibility. School does not have to be in the loop at all.

Play_Neck•21 months

Kinda of two different things. Most player NIL is supposed to be for advertisement, even though they probably don't do much advertisement or help the business get money. The business just wants to help recruiting. In Dunne's case, she's become a social media celebrity by exploiting her, um, hotness, and new NIL rules permit her to do that (it really has nothing to do with donors for Dunne).

You know it's bad if they have to shut it down. Will be interesting to see what dumb shite Dumbo Fisher says about this.

Be careful what you wish for. Texas A&M will do everything to beat LSU this year. Just like the team did last year with nothing to lose. Might be a repeat of last year's game if LSU continue to rub Texas A&M the wrong way again this year.

What does “rub them the wrong way” mean? Trying gif make sense of your post.

There’s a typo in my last comment and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t edit it.
