This is why NIL should be a non fear factor.

It has always been this way.

Yes but they are actively tearing down all of the restrictions that kept athletes from jumping from team to team, under the guise of "protecting their ability to make money off of their names"

Eventually you'll have players jumping teams mid-season.. your school lose and ruin their national championship hopes? Just jump to Michigan before the playoff starts...

Is this clickbait? Has the money always been there under the table? Yes! Have athletes been lured from lower programs by cash? Yes! But they had to sit out one year. And today an average player on the bench can receive cash incentives like a $75K truck in some programs with NIL money. Also, a player that washed out at another program didn't get paid $45K for a spring semester tryout funded by NIL contributions. Sorry, it hasn't always been like your example. Only the very best of the best.

Thats like saying people didn't find gasoline expensive when it went from .25 cents to .33 cents.

The lure of under the table money was more than enough to make players sit out a year.

Here is the point, none of the top paying programs today are going to be any more talented than they were 40 years ago. The money is there more than ever but it is essentially no more attractive than what past players received.

The top paying programs are not going to be any more talented and the low paying programs are not going to be any less talented than before.

This right here.

There needs to be a 1 year sit rule on the other side of the portal. This will fix most of the issues with NIL/Portal.

Call it the SUC rule (for them) Still Under Contract.

That will probably not meet the US Supreme Court concept that nothing should abridge the athlete's ability to make money.

It might.

If they are paying NIL to come over they are paying NIL to sit.

No loss of ability to make money.

Not so different from a business (a university) not hiring till you have a degree. Does that abridge an individual's ability to make money?

You are completely missing the concept set out by the Supreme Court when they ruled that athletes may be paid.

Head in sand routine may work on RP but will not work in the courts, especially with a constitutionally protected right.

But post on.

If they are getting paid they are getting paid!

What is the issue you think they (SC) have with athletes "actually" (check in hand) getting paid?

They will pay absolutely no attention to the nuances of a RP junkie sitting in Abbeville Louisiana.

Of course they won't, you said "they ruled that athletes may be paid" I'm asking you, what about "paid to sit" violates "they ruled that athletes may be paid"?

[CajunNation]

NIL and the Portal are 2 separate issues. Modifying the Portal rules doesn't violate any court ruling nor does it affect the player's ability to receive compensation for their name, image or likeness.

Placing a 1 year sit rule will make other collectives think twice in paying money for players to sit. That player is still receiving NIL payments from their current school collective if other collectives refuse to pay him to sit.

This idea is not new. MANY FBS coaches have suggested we need to put a sit rule on the Portal, including many P5 coaches.

All I was talking about was anything like the one year sit out period would not pass muster.
