NIL Repercussions?

Levi has looked better than any of the QBs in this game.

I could see him getting a shot in the new XFL or USFL.

XFL or USFL or The Rock League will be the big NIL losers.

"You wanna pay me what?"

Two issues that I don’t think anybody has discussed

First, recruiting costs

P5 schools which seem to have their recruiting Costs go down because all they have to do is look down The road to pilfer players who established themselves as legitimate talents at the G fives.

And then the corresponding increase in recruiting costs to G fives as they are having to beat the bushes for replacements.

Second issue… What about the G fives Who may just throwin the towel on football and the subsequent loss in higher education opportunities for the population most representative with regard to those scholarships

I think you are right about the G5 schools having to work much harder, but also the internet has lowered recruiting costs immensely.

I stand by the fact that if coaches can leave immediately, players should be able to. But coaches typically have stipulations about buyouts, etc. going forward I can see the same thing being put into action for players. The school that wants that transfer will need to pay the school that player is leaving for time spent developing that player.

I absolutely agree with you on the point about coaches being able to leave.

I think the NCAA needs to step in and make it hurt for the teams that are throwing millions at G5 coaches, subsequently forcing the G5’s to offer a higher salaries.

Make it hurt.

Great idea.

I would stipulate production time development, not just sitting the bench development. Otherwise it's a wash.

I think this is reasonable. Transfer after 1 year would get the school a 25k buyout, 2 year 50k, etc. this would loosely cover the cost of education and training. Grad transfers should be free since the kid has held up his end of the bargain.
This would still hurt G5 schools, but at least we would get something back. In our case we would get approximately 250k for our trouble. Kind of like a low level free agency.

The flip side would be the scholarships should be guaranteed for 3 years unless an injury settlement is reached or an FCS offer is available to continue playing. This would help ensure these kids get an education and still get to play football.

Most schools honor the students who fully do their part. If they’re simply not talented enough the school often helps them get into a better situation.

There is no universe where you can convince me that it’s fine for a coach to sign a 10 year $100M contract and players make nothing. The reason coaches have made that much is because boosters weren’t allowed to give money to players.

The free market is at work. If players had no value, they wouldn’t be getting deals. What needs to change is the free transfer rule.

Ok, but aren't these amateur athletes. When you get paid to play aren't you called a professional? I already quit the nfl, I am hoping I don't have to do the same for college football.

There is a big downside of NIL not realized yet. The big boys are slinging cash around to get good college players, but the vast majority of the college players won’t even sniff the NFL. Look for expectations and reality to be an issue. Be patient Cajun fans, it will all settle out in 5 years.

Basketball is a train wreck and will only get worse…there’s 350 D1 teams. Football has 130 FBS, and is in no danger of 220 teams moving up. It will be worked out.
