re: SC Transfer and all SEC member Milaysia Fulwiley commits to LSU

Au contraire Mon Frère Flau’Jae and Milaysia are friends….she helped recruit her to LSU….FWIW
The hatred I was referring to was the incident with SC playing Flau'jae's dads song to troll her, not between her and Milaysia.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the subtext of this, but something tells me the USCe game is going to be must see TV.
We have the Flau'jae drama/hatred and now Milasia seems to have an axe to grind. Add the USCe fans shitting on her before this was just rumored and they will go full meltdown.
Better up the security, it's on.

re: LSU WBB: Anyone heard if we have any transfer visitors this week? Or if any visits

Who knows but that sounds like copeium from butthurt SC fans. Fulwiley has stated it wasn't about money, and she didn't try to go back. There is more to this.

Easy! Revenue sharing, like the pro leagues do,
Still doesn't stop NIL.
quote:
and a governing body that has a say so on ALL NIL deals. If the NCAA shares its revenue then they get to make rules.
The court ruling that opened this Pandora's Box won't let that happen. Just like the NFL can't stop a player from having a deal with Old Spice etc.
quote:
All pay for play NIL deals are dead in the water.
Current NIL deals can't be pay for play. We all know they are but the way they are structured they aren't. Wink, wink.
quote:
That gives the NCAA control again and makes things SOMEWHAT even
An NCAA in control again would need legislation that could withstand a court challenge and if you've been paying attention, you know there is practically no chance of that happening.
quote:
As far as legitimate NIL deals, some schools will have an advantage
That's the rub. Who gets to choose what is legitimate? Any fix would require new legislation, and it would have to survive a court challenge. It takes just one successful challenge and there will be plenty.
Believe me, I wish the Genie could be put back in the bottle, but it can't. revenue sharing will be implemented and for some athletes that will be enough, but NIL will always be around with supporters trying to throw "a little extra" at the big recruits and better players in order to ensure a winning season. The best you can hope for is to end the constant transfers to slow things down a little, and if they try to limit them too much you can be certain there will be a court challenge.

"First and goal for the Tigers at the Alabama 2 yard line, the Tigers are in position to win it all against a hated rival".
"Wait there appears to be a business man running with a briefcase on to the field (in a really nice suit), he is saying something to the referee. Here comes the explanation, the QB wants to renegotiate his pay before this play can be run...looks like LSU was ready they have people in nice suits going on to the field, it appears one of them has one of those big checks the type you see at golf tournaments".
Now imagine an Alabama rep running out there with an offer to sit out ......

They’ll have to go to a contract model that has tough penalties for breach like in any other business.
How do you propose to do this since the money isn't coming directly from the school and NIL cannot be tied to play or performance?

Didn't know that Bert was a cartoon character (or Mary either for that matter). Guess there are more young Berts than Lukes running around.
Make all of the excuses you want but they could do better if they cared to.

For movies, of course they do because they have the budget to do it. Casting a $25/hour Luke-a-like is infinitely more difficult to do, as they are not going to commit resources to finding a clone. Close enough will do.
So, they could do it for Naveen, Flynn, etc. for the price they were paying but Luke is just a bridge to far?
Nah, I'm not buying it. I'd buy that some pissed off casting person picked him specifically to shite on the fans that hate the new Star Wars before I would believe that's the best they could do.
If I cared enough, I could have my wife dig out the old photos and you could see that every one of them was a better representation of their character that that "Luke" and my daughter had pictures with practically all of the Disney characters.
Times have changed; it is what it is.

That's because it's a lot easier to apply enough makeup and teach exaggerated mannerisms to make someone appear like a cartoon character.
A lot harder to replicate a live human being with another live human being.
No, it wasn't a ton of makeup to look like cartoon characters, they were the perfect representation of the characters. You would have thought they were the models the cartoon characters were based off of. It really was amazing. Guess you have your mind made up, but I've seen what they can do. This is years ago Disney, and it is just not the same these days.

I mean… were y’all expecting them to go mission impossible style face swap mask?
We used to do the DisneyWorld thing. One year were there for Valentines Day and all of the Princesses had all of the princes that weren't normally seen since the were calling it "True Love Week". They were incredible and they all were like they stepped out of the movie.
Even the lesser known princes were great. Naveen was a mirror image, and Flynn Ryder was perfect and had the attitude down and did a perfect "smolder". They even had Burt with Mary Poppins and he could have been Dick Van Dyke's son. He even danced like him.
The point being Disney can do amazing things and put on a hell of a show if they want. They have just gotten use to putting out shite. That Luke is pitiful.

As I understand it, until new guidelines are set in place, you cannot have an NIL agreement that specifies compensation based on where you play or how you perform. So there is little protection for schools right now.
This is it exactly. Name, Image, Likeness that's it. Can't be tied to play or performance. The athletes have all of the power currently.

Lone Watie: Guess we ain't going to see that little Navajo girl again.
Josey Wales: Nah, I guess not. I kinda liked her. But then, it's always like that.
Lone Watie: Like what?
Josey Wales: Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.
Lone Watie: I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone, they ain't around for long neither.
Jamie: I wish we had time to bury them fellas.
Josey Wales: To hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.
Lone Watie: I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas, I bet.

"Portal season" sucks. You have to pray the holes in the roster are filled all while also praying some school doesn't throw a huge bag of cash at your stars. I don't see how the coaches put up with it.
